உன்னை எனக்கு பிடித்திருக்கிறது
என்னை உனக்கு பிடித்திருக்கிறதோ இல்லையோ
உன்னை எனக்கு பிடிக்கவே செய்கிறது
I like you
Whether you like me or not
I definitely like you
உன்னை எனக்கு பிடித்திருக்கிறது
என்னை உனக்கு பிடித்திருக்கிறதோ இல்லையோ
உன்னை எனக்கு பிடிக்கவே செய்கிறது
I like you
Whether you like me or not
I definitely like you
வானத்தின் நிறம் காட்டும்
உன் விழிகள் என்னை பார்க்கையில் மட்டும்
ஏன் வறுமையின் நிறம் காட்டுகின்றன
Showing the color of the sky
Only when your eyes look at me
Why do they show the color of poverty?
உன்னை எனக்கு பிடித்திருக்கிறது...
என்னை உனக்கு பிடித்திருக்கிறதோ இல்லையோ
I like you
Whether you like me or not
உன்னை எனக்கு பிடித்திருக்கிறது...
என்னை உனக்கு பிடித்திருக்கிறதோ இல்லையோ

I like you
Whether you like me or not
I definitely like you
I definitely like you
என் விழிகளே விரல்களாக நீண்டு
உன் இடுப்பு மடிப்புகளை
வருட நினைக்கும்போது உன்
மேனி வீட்டை முந்தானை கதவால்
மூடிக் கொள்கிறாயே
When my eyes extend like fingers
The folds of your waist
When I wish to gently caress
The house of your body, using your pallu as a door
You keep closing it up
தென்றலுக்கு லஞ்சம் கொடுத்து
திறக்க சொல்ல மாட்டேனா
தத்தின்ன தின்ன தத்தின்ன தின்ன
அஹ்ஹ அஹ்ஹ அஹ்ஹா ஹா
தென்றலுக்கு லஞ்சம் கொடுத்து
திறக்க சொல்ல மாட்டேனா
ராஆஆஅ ற ரராஆஆஆ.....
By offering a bribe to the breeze
Won't I ask it to open it up?
Thaththinna thinna thaththinna thinna
Ahha ahha ahhaa haa
By offering a bribe to the breeze
Won't I ask it to open it up?
Raa aaaaararara aaaaa........
உன்னை எனக்கு பிடித்திருக்கிறது...

When I wish to gently caress
Un meni veettai munthaanai kadhavaal
The house of your body, using your pallu as a door
Moodik kolkiraayae
You keep closing it up
Thendralukku lancham koduththu
By offering a bribe to the breeze
Thirakka solla maattaenaa
