Dum daka dum daka dum daka dum..(4)
Thoduvanan thaan kodai saayudhae
Oru nesam thaan kaiya korthidudhae
Oo dhoorama oo pogalaam
Oo meghama oo maaralam
Ini manam polae damakku damakku
Ini manam polae damakku damakku
Indha man melae damakku damakku
Indha man melae
Nee uraiyadu vidiya vidiya
Oor kadhai pesu neraiya neraiya
Indha raamuzhusum nelavum eriyum
Ada orangadhae
Dum daka dum daka dum daka dum..(4)
Oo sakkarai kattiya maarudhae nodi
Akkarai kottura manasa nee pidi
Nenjila muzhakkira aasai kaathula yeri oonjalum aadiduthae
Rekkaiya kattudhae kattudhae nodi
Minnala vettudhae vettudhae vizhi
Minmini vaarthayai pesi iru usir engo oorvalam poyidudhae
Adi kaadhalin kannula rendumae maattidudhae
Puriyaadha uravaaga nee usir kaattil pookkura
Nodiyerum vizhagaadha or ninaippaaga maarura
Karaiyera therinjaalum naan unakkulla muzhguren

Enakkae dhaan theriyama naan unakkulla vaazhuren
Indha koothu inikudhu

Dum takka dum takka dum takka dum.. (4)
The horizon itself tilts like an umbrella,
A tender love holds our hands together.
Oh, let us go far away,
Oh, let us turn into clouds!
From now on, just as the heart desires, damakku damakku!
From now on, just as the heart desires, damakku damakku!
Upon this earth, damakku damakku!
Upon this earth...
Keep talking until dawn breaks,
Share all the stories of the town,
The moon will shine all through this night,
Hey, do not fall asleep!
Dum takka dum takka dum takka dum.. (4)
Oh, every moment turns sweet like a sugar cube,
Hold on to this heart that pours out so much care.
The desires echoing in the chest ride the breeze and swing freely.
Every second straps on wings,
Eyes flash like bright lightning!
Whispering words like glowing fireflies, two souls wander off together.
Oh, both have been caught in the eyes of love!
You bloom in the forest of my soul like an unspoken bond,
You turn into an unforgettable thought with every passing moment.
Even knowing how to reach the shore, I sink deep into you.
Will this magical time linger on?
Will it lead the way ahead?
Ah, longing and yearning, the sweet bird asks for my affection through her gaze,
Leaving the closed cage behind, she builds a nest of her own.
It sways gently back and forth,
And opens up a whole new world!
Talk together in that world until dawn,
Share plenty of stories from the town,
The moon will shine all through this night,
Hey, do not fall asleep!
Dum takka dum takka dum takka dum.. (4)
Like the rich red of henna, you bring bright colors to life,
You come to me like a blessing granted without any penance.
Without even knowing it myself, I live inside you.
This playful drama feels so sweet,
It makes you forget yourself completely.
Who really knows what all this is?
Whose magical spell could this be?
Will it stay as reality?
Or fade away like a dream?
Caught between the two, the mind is utterly spellbound,
Silently, it gets completely captivated.
From now on, just as the heart desires, damakku damakku!
From now on, just as the heart desires, damakku damakku!
Upon this earth, damakku damakku!
Upon this earth...
Talk together in that world until dawn,
Share plenty of stories from the town,
The moon will shine all through this night,
Hey, do not fall asleep!
