மற்றும் சுனிதா சாரதி
Fast, ultra fast
Beats the heart
Far, very far away
Fear chases away
வேகமாய் அதி வேகமாய்
துடிக்கிதே இதயம்
தூரமாய் வெகு தூரமாய்
துரத்துதே பயமும்
Feet trembling in anxiety, moving rapidly
As the earth splits open, heart throbbing with dread
Like a bridge shaking frantically
The heart flounders to connect with the sky...
பட பட வென கால்கள் விறு விறுவென
பூமி பிளந்திட திக்கு திக்கு திக்கென...
விடுமென ஒரு பாலம் கிடு கிடுவென
வானம் இணைந்திட தத் தத்தளிக்குதே..
Fast, ultra fast
Beats the heart
Far, very far away
Fear chases away
Ho ho ho.....
வேகமாய் அதி வேகமாய்
துடிக்கிதே இதயம்
தூரமாய் வெகு தூரமாய்
துரத்துதே பயமும்
ஹோ ஹோ ஹோ.......
A beautiful night, and an encouraging boost for it
Shall I light a sparkler playfully?
Female : Aaa.....aa....aa....aa....
அழகான ராத்திரி அதற்கான ஓகஸ்த்ரி
விளையாட்டா சாட்பூத்திரி போடவா
ஆஅ.....ஆ.....ஆ.....ஆ.....
reached a state where every cell in the body acts as eyes
All eyes turn into falling stars
He kills violently, yet silently
Male : Oo....oo....oo....
உடல் செல்கள் கண்களாக
கண் எல்லாம் விண் கல்லாக
வைலன்ட்டா கொல்கிறானே சைலன்டா....
ஊ......ஊ.....ஊ......ஊ......
You are the strawberry milkshake formula
The strawberry taste is marvelous
Female : I recite prayers of my Jesus
Drive away this demon
நீ ஸ்ட்ராபெர்ரி மில்க் ஷேக் பார்முலா
ஸ்ட்ராபெர்ரி டேஸ்ட்டு கலக்கலா
என் ஏசுவின் சோத்திரம் ஜபிக்கிறேன்
இந்த சாத்தானை விரட்டி விடு.......
Just like an orchestra
Instruments playing all over the house
It is love that played music every day
ஆர்கெஸ்ட்ரா போலத்தான்
வீடெங்கும் வாத்தியம்
வாசித்த நேசம்தான் தினமும்
In the font of an honest police officer
It is the aroma of grand music
குழந்தைகள் :
அப்பாதான் கீ போர்டு
அம்மாவோ ரிதம் பேடு
வாண்டுகள் சிங்கிள்ஸு வாசிப்போம்
This is a ferris wheel with no people
Spinning merely at the whim of the wind
Spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning
அந்த நேர்மை போலிஸ் பான்ட்டினில்
மாமுன் மியூசிக் வாசம்தான்
Fast, ultra fast
Beats the heart
Far, very far away
Fear chases away
ஆளில்லாத ராட்டினம்தான் இது
வெறும் காற்று போக்கில் சுழலுதே
சுழலுதே சுழலுதே சுழலுதே சுழலுதே
Feet trembling in anxiety, moving rapidly
As the earth splits open, heart throbbing with dread
Like a bridge shaking frantically
The heart flounders to connect with the sky...
வேகமாய் அதி வேகமாய்
துடிக்கிதே இதயம்
தூரமாய் வெகு தூரமாய்
துரத்துதே பயமும்
Fast, ultra fast
