Unnai paartha naal
Unnai paartha naal
Endhan vaazhvilae
Naan ennai paartha naal
En jannalora eera saaralaai
Nindru sindhi sendraai
Enna naanum seivadho
Konji pesi kolgiraai
Nee yaaradi yaaradi sofia
Nee pine mara pookkalin selfie-ya
Nee maanaseega maafia
Nee konjam kaadhal solviya
Nee yaaradi yaaradi sofia
Nee pine mara pookkalin selfie-ya
Nee maanaseega maafia
Nee konjam kaadhal solviya
Inippu saalaiyil erumbu pol nadakkiren
Sirippu koodaiyil pandhu pol urulgiren
Nee panju pookkalaal pinniya piraviyaa
Vizhi moodi kondu thaan poga naan thuraviyaa
Un veettai thaandi pogum nerathil
Melum moochu vaangum
Un kaigal seigai seiyum bothellaam
Kaalgal megam thaanduthae
En swasathin vaasathai eerthaval
En moochinil moozhigai serthaval
En vaazhvil vaanjai vaarthaval
En veettukaaga poothaval
En swasathin vaasathai eerthaval
En moochinil moozhigai serthaval
En vaazhvil vaanjai vaarthaval
En veettukaaga poothaval
The day I saw you,
the day I saw you,
in my life,
was the day I saw myself.
Like a cool drizzle by my window,
you paused, sprinkled down, and drifted away.
What am I supposed to do?
You kill me with your playful sweet talk.
Who are you, Sophia, who are you?
Are you a selfie of pine blossoms?
Are you a mafia ruling my mind?
Will you speak a little love to me?
Who are you, Sophia, who are you?
Are you a selfie of pine blossoms?
Are you a mafia ruling my mind?
Will you speak a little love to me?
I walk like an ant down a road of sweetness,
I roll like a ball inside a basket of laughter.
Were you born woven from cotton blossoms?
Am I a monk to close my eyes and walk away?
Whenever I walk past your house,
I lose my breath even more.
Whenever your hands make a gentle gesture,
my feet leap across the clouds.
She drew in the scent of my breath,
she added healing herbs to my breathing,
she poured love into my life,
she blossomed just for my home.
She drew in the scent of my breath,
she added healing herbs to my breathing,
she poured love into my life,
she blossomed just for my home.
