தொஞ்சலு நீ என்

You are my dark beauty
You are my dark-complexioned girl
You are my slender sweetheart
You are my angel
கல்ல மிட்டாய்
கலரு தேனு மிட்டாய்
உதடு நீ பக்கத்துல
வந்ததுமே வந்துடுச்சி

The color of peanut candy
Lips like sweet honey candy
As soon as you came near me
I felt a sudden surge of power
ரெட்ட வெள்ளை
தோசை உன்மேல தான்
ஆசை கிளிய போல
கொஞ்சி கொஞ்சி
ரெண்டு பேரும் பேச
Double white dosa
I have a deep desire for you
Cooing affectionately like a parrot
For the two of us to talk
வாடி டைடானிக்கு
ஹீரோயினி அழகுல
குலாப்ஜாமுன் ஜீரா நீ
வெயிட்டுல காட்ரேஜ்
பீரோ நீ ஸ்பீட்டுல
ரொனால்டினோ
காரோ நீ
Come on, heroine of Titanic
You are the sugar syrup of a gulab jamun in beauty
You are a heavy Godrej iron safe in weight
You are a Ronaldinho car in speed
ஹே சோன் சோன்

வந்து முத்தம் கொடு சோன்

வந்து வந்து முத்தம் கொடு
