Nila nila neruppil eriyuthadi
Kanavinil urakkam kalaiyudhadi
Manam dhinam kulambhi thavikudhadi
Mudivinai solvaayoo nee
Idho idho imaikkum kannai paar
Imaigalin thudipai konjam paar
Unai unai azhaikkum kadhaiyondrai
Vizhigalil kaanaai nee
Azhagiya kadhaigalin yekkam
Manam thoongida un madi ketkkum
Idhu nijama nadanthiduma yemma
Iru vidha thudippugal ketkkum
Kaal munpinn alaindhu verkkum
Anubavathin sugam idhu thaan

The moon is burning in fire, my girl
My sleep is broken inside my dreams
Every day, my heart is confused and restless
Will you tell me your answer?
Look here, look into these blinking eyes
Just look at the flutter of my eyelids
A story that calls out to you
Won't you see it in my eyes?
With the longing of beautiful stories
My heart asks for your lap to sleep on
Is this real, will it truly happen?
Two different heartbeats can be heard
Feet pace back and forth in a nervous sweat
This is the sweet pleasure of experiencing it
Come, come
The moon is burning in fire, my girl
My sleep is broken inside my dreams
Every day, my heart is confused and restless
Will you tell me your answer?
Look here, look into these blinking eyes
Just look at the flutter of my eyelids
A story that calls out to you
Won't you see it in my eyes?
My heart, which had fallen like a dry leaf
Has spread its wings because of you
I see a brand new path
I hear the echo of your voice
My heart, having fallen upon flowers
Is soaked in sweet nectar because of you
It swoons, it swoons
Getting lost in the melodies of love
Shivering with thrills...
Female: What kind of secret spell is this?
Male: It hesitates and yearns
The moon is burning in fire, my girl
My sleep is broken inside my dreams
La la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la, la la la la...
Every day, my heart is confused and restless
Will you tell me your answer?
La la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la, la la la la...
With the longing of beautiful stories
My heart asks for your lap to sleep on
Is this real, will it truly happen?
Two different heartbeats can be heard
Feet pace back and forth in a nervous sweat
This is the sweet pleasure of experiencing it
Come, come
The moon is burning in fire, my girl
My sleep is broken inside my dreams
Every day, my heart is confused and restless
Will you tell me your answer?
La la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la, la la la la...
