Thiri pattri kondaal vetri kondaattam
In the rainbow's cluster,
A new color is joining in.
In this mind-blowing dream,
A fresh thought wraps around me.
As the heart melts away,
It plays a game of chess.
Yesterday drifts away,
And turns into a brand new today.
The crimson sky turns into a street.
Unchecked by any reins,
Time is dancing wildly here.
The future appears before us
Like a distant mirage.
The road ahead is now hidden from sight.
Stumble, jump, and leap, man!
This is an empty island, bro!
Look in all directions,
It is just a circle of light!
Stumble, jump, and leap, man!
This is an empty island, bro!
Look in all directions,
It is just a circle of light!
The arches of the eyebrows
Find a whole new meaning.
In those fierce cobra eyes,
A touch of shyness gathers.
Like a flower by the highway,
The heart has been hijacked.
Through the fifth sense,
A fast train rushes on.
The white cloud has turned into a vacuum.
The burning quest never calms down.
I am a fortune model,
Don't look for my identity anywhere.
Standing still like a statue,
A mocktail of a girl,
That is who I am now!
Stumble, jump, and leap, man!
This is an empty island, bro!
Look in all directions,
It is just a circle of light!
Stumble, jump, and leap, man!
This is an empty island, bro!
Look in all directions,
It is just a circle of light!
Let the heavy burdens vanish,
Hey, why hold onto sorrow?
Let Google do the searching,
Just push the world aside!
Deep at the root of the wound,
There is a drop of blood.
When you stand right here with me,
It feels like a kiss to me.
Whenever you come near me,
I feel no fear at all.
And to anyone else,
I never admit this.
I walked right in without knowing,
Where is the boundary line?
There will be no lock left unopened,
From now on, it is just a nonstop sprint.
Without even a single dull second,
Caught within the hands of the ticking clock.
There will be no lock left unopened,
From now on, it is just a nonstop sprint.
Without even a single dull second,
Once the spark catches fire, it is a victory celebration!
