Like a white cloud,
you drift over me.
Under your passionate gaze,
I turn into water.
You kissed me to cool me down,
and I fell like rain.
Like a foaming sea once again,
I wandered and came looking for you.
Through music,
you bring love to life, oh Saindhavi!
Like a white cloud,
you drift over me.
Under your passionate gaze,
I turn into water.
Before dawn breaks,
I will admire you like the moon.
Female: Before I fully ripen,
if you pluck me, I will shiver with excitement.
Girl, the breath of air
that keeps me alive is you.
Female: There are a thousand stories
that my eyes speak.
Male: If you tell them, I will be completely won over...
Female: Yeah...
Like a white cloud,
you drift over me.
Male: Under your passionate gaze,
I turn into water.
Thara naa.. thara naa
Thara naa.. thera naa... aa...
You conquered me with your beauty,
oh my, are you an angel?
You killed me with your love,
oh no, are you a demoness?
Just like stealing flowers,
you carry my heart away.
When you get caught doing it,
you will count prison bars.
Male: I don't want freedom at all...
Like a white cloud,
you drift over me.
Male: Under your passionate gaze,
I turn into water.
You kissed me to cool me down,
Male: and I fell like rain.
Female: Like a foaming sea once again,
I wandered and came looking for you.
Through music,
you bring love to life, oh Saindhavi!
Like a white cloud,
Male: you drift over me.
Female: Under your passionate gaze,
Male: I turn into water.
