You breezy, playful girl,
you little demoness who intimidates me!
You breezy, playful girl,
you little demoness who intimidates me!
Darling, there is a Kathakali dance in your eyes,
come inside me and rejoice with delight!
Both our eyes confessed our love,
and look, even the vast ocean is just a dewdrop in love!
Ever since love arrived,
all my nights have turned into day.
You are the true image of the night,
an ocean that has come of age.
You are a storm of desire,
knocking me off my feet is all you do.
I am a mound of chocolate,
a body made to fulfill your desires.
You breezy, playful girl,
you little demoness who intimidates me!
If all your smiles are gathered together,
they would become a music album.
Even without wings, my hands
reach up and touch the sky.
Oh, everything you do
is filled with childlike charm.
When a woman's scent and a man's scent
blend together, it is pure pleasure.
Even when you snap and tell me to get lost,
it sounds like sweet poetry to me, girl.
If no boundaries are crossed,
love will turn tasteless and bitter, oh!
The glowing blush that appears
across my cheeks
is not mere shyness, boy.
When I say 'enough', it actually means 'I want more',
that is what it always means, boy!
Your name is my ringtone,
and like a guiding star above
are your magnetic eyes!
You breezy, playful girl,
you little demoness who intimidates me!
You breezy, playful girl,
you little demoness who intimidates me!
Do not cast your fiery gaze on me,
let me live a little, won't you?
Just for you, around only you,
can I get a little spoiled, oh girl?
All across your body,
shall I go on a journey?
Hidden beneath all your clothes,
shall I touch you like the breeze?
That you are a butterfly with a mustache,
the flowers whisper!
That you are a warm snowfall,
the gentle breeze whispers, oh!
That you are a cloned rainbow,
the vast sky proclaims!
That you are a chilled fruit salad in the fridge,
the earth itself declares!
Am I still myself? Tell me, my love,
or have I become you? Explain this magic of love!
You breezy, playful girl,
you little demoness who intimidates me!
Darling, there is a Kathakali dance in your eyes,
come inside me and rejoice with delight!
Both our eyes confessed our love,
and look, even the vast ocean is just a dewdrop in love!
Ever since love arrived,
all my nights have turned into day.
You are the true image of the night,
an ocean that has come of age.
You are a storm of desire,
knocking me off my feet is all you do.
I am a mound of chocolate,
a body made to fulfill your desires.
You breezy, playful girl,
you little demoness who intimidates me!

Trivia

Chennai Kadhal was directed by Vikraman, starring Bharath and Genelia D'Souza. The soundtrack was composed by Joshua Sridhar following his huge hit debut in Kaadhal (2004). Lyricist Pa. Vijay incorporated then-modern pop-culture references like 'cloning', 'fridge', and 'ringtone' into classic Tamil poetic hyperbole.
