பிசையும்
இசைய என் காதுக்குள்ள
கேட்குறான் வசிய பசையா
கை கோக்குறான்
Like speaking music,
He listens inside my ear.
Like a magical glue,
He entwines his hand in mine.
துருவி துருவி
உயிர் தேன் எடுத்து
தேக்குறான் இவள
திருடி அழகாக்குறான்
Probing deep,
Extracting the honey of my soul,
He stores it up.
Stealing this girl,
He makes her beautiful.
ஜாடை காட்டி
என்ன கேட்குறான் கூட
கூட்டிப்போக பாக்குறான்
Signaling with a gesture,
He asks for me.
To take me along with him,
He looks for a way.
உயிர் கூட்டுக்கு
ஒரு காட்டு தீ வச்சான்
To the nest of my soul,
He set a wild fire.

ஆச ஆச ஆச
அவன் மீசை மேல
ஆச குத்தாம கோடா
புடிக்கும்
Desire, desire, desire,
Desire for his mustache.
Without poking, it shelters like an umbrella,
மீசை பட்டு
கூச அவன் வீசும்
முத்த ஓசை நிக்காம
மழை அடிக்கும்
The soft touch of his mustache tickles me.
The sound of kisses he blows,
Pours like non-stop rain.
என் குளத்தில்
வானவில் கரைச்சான்
என் கரையில் அலை
அடிச்சான்
In my pond,
He dissolved a rainbow.
On my shore,
He crashed like a wave.
வாட்டுது
யோசனைதான் என்
மூச்சே ராச்சசன்
வாசனைதான்
These thoughts torment me,
My very breath carries the fragrance of a giant.

விஷ்லிங் :
.........................
When we walk together as a pair,
Ten million eyes gaze at us.
To reminisce about that day,
He made me... ahhh...
ஜோடி போட்டு
போனா ஒரு கோடி
கண்ணு மேயும்
அந்நாளை நினைக்க
வச்சான்
To check my appearance daily,
With his memory weaving like a shadow,
To hold up a mirror,
He made me... ahhh...
தினமும்
உருவம் பாக்க
அவன் நெனப்பு
நிழலா கொக்க
கண்ணாடி புடிக்க
வச்சான்
Singing a lullaby,
He ruined my sleep.
Setting me right,
He scattered me apart.
தாலாட்டி
தூக்கத்தை கெடுத்தான்
சீராக்கி செதறடிச்சான்
These thoughts torment me,
My breath... mm... mm...
வாட்டுது
யோசனைதான் என்
மூச்சே ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்
Nanana na na...
