நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
உன்னால சிரிக்கிறேன்
விண்ணில் ஏறி தன்னால
பறக்குறேன் கண்கள் மூடி
நான் தூங்க மறக்குறேன்
உசுரா மாறி ஏன் படுத்துற
I smile inside my heart because of you
Flying automatically up into the sky
I close my eyes and forget to sleep
Why do you torment me by becoming my very life?
உள்ளுக்குள்ள
உன்னால வெடிக்குறேன்
உன்னிடம் ஏன்டி சொல்லாம
மறைக்கிறேன் கனவுல
நெனவா நான் மாறி
மெதக்குறேன் மனச
தேடி ஏன் அடிக்கிற
I burst inside because of you
Why do I hide things without telling you?
Turning reality into a dream, I float away
Why do you strike searching for my heart?
வெள்ளிதிரையில
படம் காட்டுற அத நான்
தினம் பாக்க ரெட்டை
கப்ல கோக் ஊத்துற பாப்
கார்ன் பட படப்ப
ஆஹா ஆஆ
You show a movie on the silver screen
For me to watch it every day
Pouring Coke into a double cup
Popcorn crackling away
Female: Ahaaa....aaa.a...
எனை நீ நோக்கியா
ஸ்ட்ராபெர்ரி கேக்கியா
ஓடல கிளாக்கியா
மாறலாம் ட்ரக்கியா
Are you looking towards me?
Are you like a strawberry cake?
Is the clock not ticking?
Shall we change our track?
மை டியர்
சோபியா செய்யாத
சேட்டையா ஏன் இந்த
கேப்யா வாழலாம்
ஹேப்பியா
My dear Sofia
Don't do naughty mischief
Why this distance?
Let's live happily
..............................

ப்ளாக் அண்ட் ஒயிட்டு
சினிமால பாக்குற எம்.ஜி.ஆர்
நான்தானடி கத்தி சண்டை
நான் போட்டு காட்டுறேன்
நம்பியார நீ தள்ளு டி
Black and white
As seen in cinema
I am MGR himself, my girl
I will show you a sword fight
Push away Nambiyar, my girl
டெக்னி கலரு பிலிம்
ஓடும் வேகத்தில் உந்தன்
பின்னே நான் தானடி கிளாப்பிங்
போர்ட தட்டி என் காதல அக்ஷன்
சொல்லி ஸ்டார்ட் பண்ணுடி
In Technicolor
At the speed the film runs
I am right behind you, my girl
Striking the clapboard
My love
Say action and start it, my girl
என் தோழமை
போல் வேர் ஒரு உறவிங்கு
கிடையாது உன் தாயிடம்
சேய் ஆகிறேன் இந்த நட்பு
என்றும் உடையாது ஓஹோ
Like my friendship, no other
Relationship exists here
To your mother, I become a child
This friendship will never break
Ohooo....

டார்க் நைட் போல
பறக்குற மாப்பிள்ளை
உன்னை தேடி வந்தானடி
ஜோக்கர் ஆக நான் மாறி
கேப்ல உன்னை தூக்கி
போவேனடி
Like the Dark Knight
The flying groom
Has come searching for you, my girl
Turning into Joker in the gap
I will carry you away, my girl
எதனால் என்னை
நீ போட்டு தாக்குற வெளியே
என்ன கொல்லாத டி உண்மைய
பேசி ஏன் பீதி ஏத்துற பொய்யில்
உள்ள மெய் நானடி
With what are you
Locking and striking me?
Don't kill me outside, my girl
Speaking the truth, you raise my panic
I am the truth residing inside a lie, my girl
வருவாயா என்
எதிரிலே கதை யாவும்
காதோடு பேசவா
ஆண் : எரித்தாயா ஒளி
கதிரிலே உன் அழகில்
நாமும் கரையலாம்
Will you come in front of me?
Shall I whisper all stories into your ears?
Male: In the burning light beam
We can dissolve in your beauty
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள
உன்னால சிரிக்கிறேன்
விண்ணில் ஏறி தன்னால
பறக்குறேன் கண்கள் மூடி
நான் தூங்க மறக்குறேன்
உசுரா மாறி ஏன் படுத்துற
I smile inside my heart because of you
Flying automatically up into the sky
I close my eyes and forget to sleep
Why do you torment me by becoming my very life?
