நிலா நிலா நெருப்பினில் எரியுதடி
கனாவினில் உறக்கம் கலையுதடி
மனம் தினம் குழம்பி தவிக்குதடி
முடிவினை சொல்வாயோ நீ
The moon, the moon is burning in fire!
Sleep is disturbed even in my dreams.
The heart gets confused and suffers daily.
Will you tell me the final decision?
இதோ இதோ இமைக்கும் கண்ணை பார்
இமைகளின் துடிப்பை கொஞ்சம் பார்
உனை உனை அழைக்கும் கதையொன்றை
விழிகளின் காணாய் நீ
Here, look at these blinking eyes.
Look at the flutter of the eyelashes for a moment.
A story that calls out to you...
You shall see it in these eyes.
அழகிய கதைகளின் ஏக்கும்
மனம் தூங்கிட உன் மடி கேட்கும்
இது நிஜமா நடந்திடுமா ஏம்மா
The yearning of beautiful stories,
My heart asks for your lap to sleep in.
Is this real? Will this truly happen, my dear?
இரு வித துடிப்புகள் கேட்கும்
கால் முன்பின் அலைந்து வேர்க்கும்
அனுபவத்தின் சுகமிதுதான்
வா வா
Two distinct heartbeats can be heard.
Legs wander back and forth, breaking into sweat.
This is the sweet joy of experience.
Come, come!
நிலா நிலா நெருப்பினில் எரியுதடி
கனாவினில் உறக்கம் கலையுதடி
மனம் தினம் குழம்பி தவிக்குதடி
முடிவினை சொல்வாயோ நீ
The moon, the moon is burning in fire!
Sleep is disturbed even in my dreams.
The heart gets confused and suffers daily.
Will you tell me the final decision?
இதோ இதோ இமைக்கும் கண்ணை பார்

Here, look at these blinking eyes.
Look at the flutter of the eyelashes for a moment.
A story that calls out to you...
You shall see it in these eyes.
சருகென உதிர்ந்த என் நெஞ்சம்
சிறகினை உதிர்த்தத உன்னாலே
புது வழி பார்க்கிறேன்
உந்தன் எதிரொலி கேட்கிறேன்
My heart, which withered away like a dry leaf,
Has spread its wings because of you.
I see a new path ahead.
I hear your echo.
மலர்களில் விழுந்த என் நெஞ்சம்
முதுவினில் நனைந்தது உன்னாலே
மயங்குதே மயங்குதே
காதல் ஒளிகளில் கிறங்குதே
My heart, fallen among flowers,
Drenched in honey because of you,
Is swooning and getting spellbound!
Getting intoxicated in the sounds of love!
சிலிர்க்குதே….
இதுயென்ன ரகசிய மந்திரமோ
தயங்குதே தவிக்குதே
Thrills run through me!
Female: What secret spell is this?
Male: It hesitates and yearns...
நிலா நிலா நெருப்பினில் எரியுதடி
கனாவினில் உறக்கம் கலையுதடி
லாலாலா லாலாலா லாலாலா
மனம் தினம் குழம்பி தவிக்குதடி
முடிவினை சொல்வாயோ நீ
லாலாலா லாலாலா லாலாலா
