Together we roam around the town,
We trick the teacher with tall tales behind their back!
கண்ணால டாவடிக்கிறோம் பெண்மானத்தான்
கண்டாலே சைட் அடிக்கிறோம்
We flirt secretly with that golden deer-like girl,
Whenever we see her, we check her out!
எல்லாமே வேடிக்கை அன்றாட வாடிக்கை

Everything is fun and a daily habit,
It is indeed a time of sheer joy, hahahaha!

A golden moment has arrived!
உன் தோளில் மாலை வந்தது என் வாழ்விலே
பொன்னான வேளை வந்தது ஆஹாஹ்
Aahaa haa
ஊராரின் கண்கள் பட்டது என்றாலுமே
நம் நேசம் நிலைத்துவிட்டது
Even if the evil eye of the town fell upon us,
Our love and bond remained steady!
முன்னேழு ஜென்மமாய் பின்னேழு ஜென்மமாய்
ஒன்றாகும் சொந்தம் தானடா
Across seven past births and seven future births,
It is a relationship that becomes one!
தொட்டாலும் தொடர்வது விட்டாலும் வளர்வது
தெய்வீக பந்தம் தானடா ஆஹாஹ்...
It continues if touched and grows even if left alone,
It is indeed a divine relationship, aha ahaa!
