Vizhi saaichiyae…..
Oh my alchemist, oh my alchemist,
I grew shy under your gaze.
Tilting your eyes, tilting your eyes,
When you speak, I turn into dust.
In your skirt and blouse,
Every time I looked at you,
Like milk brimming with cream,
I would overflow with love, girl.
Taking the candy you took a bite from,
All those times I tasted it,
Deep in a corner of my heart,
I still remember them, girl.
Oh my alchemist, tilting your eyes,
Oh my alchemist...
When you came of age,
Your eyes filled with shyness.
Back then, the bangles you wore,
I gathered and kept them safe.
Every day, to take a stroll with you,
I longed to walk by your side.
Back then, onto your shadow,
I would try touching my shadow to yours...
Just like a ribbon,
I stay wrapped around,
All around you.
Just look at me, that is enough,
And I will live on.
Oh my alchemist, oh my alchemist,
Tilting your eyes,
In your skirt and blouse,
Every time I looked at you,
Like milk brimming with cream,
I would overflow with love, girl.
Taking the candy you took a bite from,
All those times I tasted it,
Deep in a corner of my heart,
I still remember them, girl.
Oh my alchemist...
Oh my alchemist,
Oh my alchemist,
Oh my alchemist,
Oh my alchemist,
Oh my alchemist,
Oh my alchemist,
Oh my alchemist,
Tilting your eyes...
