Fire and spark in every direction
Putting a villainous lock
Sexy, cherry, cute one
She will save and protect
கண்ணை கட்டி
போட்ட ரெட்டை காலு
தொட்ட சுட்டு சுட்டு நீட்ட

Binding the eyes
Touching with two legs
Shooting forward continuously
She will join hands

ஆக்ஸிஜனை நானும் தர
When you sink in...
...the Atlantic Ocean called fear
The oxygen filled with my love
I shall provide as well

மலை தாண்டி வர நீ
என்னை அள்ளிக் கொண்டாய்
கண்ணாலே கிள்ளி கொன்றாய்

You gathered me up
You pinched and killed me with your eyes

இனித்தேனே
இரவின் தேனே இதழ்
ஓரம் இடம் வைத்தேனே
இதயத்தில் உன்னை
தைத்தேனே உள்
பாக்கெட்டாய் ஓ
Sweet one, honey of the night
I made a place for you at the corner of my lips
I stitched you inside my heart
As an inner pocket, oh...
ஓ தனித்தேனே
தவிக்கின்றேனே பனி
நெஞ்சம் போல் வந்தேனே
என் வாசம் தர வந்தேனே
பூ மார்க்கெட்டாய்
Oh, I am alone and yearning
I came like a heart made of snow
I came to share my fragrance
Like a flower market
நீ ஐஃபில் டவர்
உயரத்தில் என் மனதில்
உன்னை உச்சு கொட்டி
பார்க்கிறேன் என் கனவில்
At Eiffel Tower heights...
...high up inside my heart
I admire you clicking my tongue in awe
In my dreams
நீ முத்த மலை
தூவுகின்ற பொன் பொழுதில்
என் கன்னம் உள்ளே வாங்க
அதில் வெட்கம் எட்டிப் பார்க்க
என் செய்தாய்
When you shower a rain of kisses...
...during that golden hour...
My cheeks pull inward
And shyness peeks out from within
Why did you do this?
