Hey pennae unnai paatha

Hey girl, when I look at you
A new tune plays in my heart
When your breath brushes against me
It feels like a fan running without a switch
When you glance from the corner of your eye
Even the blazing heat turns super cool
The stylish way you walk
Is like a brand-new metro train
Hey, who is the mother that gave birth to you?
I would touch her feet if I met her
Hey, where is your father?
I would build a temple and worship him
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my!
Girl, when I look at you
A new tune plays in my heart
When your breath brushes against me
It feels like a fan running without a switch
When you glance from the corner of your eye
Even the blazing heat turns super cool
The stylish way you walk
Is like a brand-new metro train
Like a spinning ground-wheel firecracker
You keep making me spin round and round
Showing off your beauty from behind
Oh my traditional beauty!
Just like an ice cube
You melt a person down
Showing off your mischievous ways
You tease and pamper me, you naughty girl!
Hey, who was your teacher?
By speaking so poetically
You are putting me through
Torture, sheer torture!
Girl, when I look at you
A new tune plays in my heart
When your breath brushes against me
It feels like a fan running without a switch
When you glance from the corner of your eye
Even the blazing heat turns super cool
The stylish way you walk
Is like a brand-new metro train
...
Hey, like a Jallikattu bull
You come charging right at me
And hit me with full force
Is it wrong if I touch you gently?
Like sweet kamarkattu (coconut-jaggery candy)
Because of your sweet lips
My mouth begins to water
That is why my brakes have failed!
Which God created you?
Because you arrived
This earth has turned into heaven!
Girl, when I look at you
A new tune plays in my heart
When your breath brushes against me
It feels like a fan running without a switch
When you glance from the corner of your eye
Even the blazing heat turns super cool
The stylish way you walk
Is like a brand-new metro train
Hey hey, girl
When I look at you
Inside my heart
A new tune plays
When your breath
Touches me
It is like a fan
Running without a switch
Mwah...
