Vaada podaa thirudaa
Yeda kooda muradaa
Vaada podaa thirudaa
Yeda kooda muradaa
Paakkum bothu nee paasakaaran thaan
Pazhagum bodhu nee mosakkaran thaan
Kai regai thaeiya pidipaayoo
Mell aadai pola nee otti kolvaaya
Kannadi pola nadippaaya
Unai kaanum neram nee ennai paarpaaiyaa
Vaada podaa thirudaa
Yeda kooda muradaa
Vaada podaa thirudaa

Hey my playful thief,
You tricky, stubborn rogue,
Hey my playful thief,
You tricky, stubborn rogue,
When I look at you, you seem so full of love,
But when we get close, you are such a trickster,
Will you hold my hand till my palm lines wear away?
Will you cling to me like soft clothes?
Will you act like a mirror reflecting me?
The moment I look at you, will you gaze right back at me?
Hey my playful thief,
You tricky, stubborn rogue,
Hey my playful thief,
You tricky, stubborn rogue,
That a theft is taking place in your dark eyes,
I can sense it right here...
Ooh, to let my fingers intertwine with yours,
My heart keeps wishing again and again.
That a theft is taking place in your dark eyes,
I can sense it right here...
Ooh, to let my fingers intertwine with yours,
My heart keeps wishing again and again.
You charming, stubborn guy,
You slowly take over my heart,
Like an eagle watching sharply from above,
You leave your lasting imprint on me.
I lose my balance when I look at you,
I close my eyes and drift deep into my heart,
You playful guy, it is you...
...whom I keep searching for in your eyes.
Hey my playful thief,
You tricky, stubborn rogue,
Hey my playful thief,
You tricky, stubborn rogue,
