ஐ லவ் யு
I love you
அய்யோ லவ்வுல இறங்கினா

உனக்கு தான் டார்ச்சரு
அவள நம்பித்தான் போனாலே
போயிடும் பியூச்சரு
Alas, if you step into love
It is pure tension for us
She will call someone her boyfriend
Because that is the current fashion
She gives you non-stop calls
It becomes sheer torture for you
If you go along trusting her
Your future will be ruined….

Thinking she was born just for me

Now who knows whom she travels with
Riding along on a bike
She expects a six-pack body
Which I do not have
Even if I try to build that
I will quickly meet the God of Death…aaa…aa….
