சந்திப்போமா
இருவரும் சந்திப்போமா
ஜுலை காற்றில் ஜூப்பிட்டரில்
ஒரு முறை சந்திப்போமா
Shall we meet, shall both of us meet?
Shall we meet once on Jupiter in the July breeze?
இந்த சாலையில்
போகின்றான் மீசை வைத்த
பையன் அவன் ஆறடி உயரம்
அழகிய உருவம் ஆப்பிள் போலே
இருப்பானே
He walks along this street,
That guy with a mustache.
Six feet tall, with a handsome frame,
He looks like an apple.

எந்த கல்லூரிக்கு
போகின்றதோ என்னை
தாக்கிய தாவணியே முதல்

To which college is she going,
The girl in the half-saree who smote me?
First time love, there is no fear

அந்த மெரினா பீச்
சிறு படகடியில்
ஒரு நிழலாகி
நாம் வசிப்போமா
காபி டே போகலாம்
ஸ்னோ பெளலிங் ஆடலாம்
போன் சண்டை போடலாம்
பில்லியர்ட்சில் சேரலாம்
மீட்டீங் நடந்தால்
இனி டேட்டிங் நடக்கும்

யார் புன்னகையும்
உன் போல் இல்லையடா
யார் வாசனையும்
உன் போல் இல்லையடா
அய்யோனு ஆனதே
ஆனந்தம் போனதே
ச்சீ ச்சீ ச்சீ சிந்தனை
சிரிப்புக்குள் வேதனை
போடி வராதே
மனம் போனால் வராதே
If a meeting happens / Male: From now on dating will happen,
உன்னை பெற்ற
ஒரு அன்னை கொண்ட
வேதனைகள் தருகிறாய்
போதுமே
With a single spoon, an ice cream...
We can share half and half, when will that happen, my dear?
