Vaa vaa nee vaa nilaa

Come, oh come, my moon
Let us go on a stroll of love
Come, oh come, my moon
Let us go on a stroll of love
In the twilight hour when the breeze and flowers caress each other
Shall you and I meet tomorrow?
Come, oh come, my moon
Let us go on a stroll of love
I am an aappam (soft pancake), a white aappam
Come serve the spicy paaya curry right beside me, my man!
Why are you still just sniffing around?
Today is the day your hunger is completely satisfied, my man!
Just like a thick kal dosa served with dry-fish curry
Won't they come together in delicious harmony?
Oh my, if I touch you just once
Isn't it endless pleasure and joy?
I am an aappam, a white aappam
Come serve the spicy paaya curry right beside me, my man!
In the twilight hour when the breeze and flowers caress each other
Shall you and I meet tomorrow?
Come, oh come, my moon
Let us go on a stroll of love...
Eena Moona Kaana—if you and I become one
We must stick to each other naturally like leeches!
Eena meena deeka, if you and I fall head over heels
You should touch me and tie the thali (wedding knot) neatly!
I came chasing right behind you, girl
And because of you, I've ended up with two wives, girl!
Eena Moona Kaana—if you and I become one
We must stick to each other naturally like leeches!
Eena meena deeka, if you and I fall head over heels
You should touch me and tie the thali (wedding knot) neatly!
Come, oh come, my moon
Let us go on a stroll of love
In the twilight hour when the breeze and flowers caress each other
Shall you and I meet tomorrow?
Come, oh come, my moon
Let us go on a stroll of love...
