Tu maast kalandher yaara ya rabba
Tu maast kalandher pyaara ya rabba
Loo hogayi teri.. loo hogayi teri
Loo hogayi teri..wah re wah re waah
Vennilavae tharayil uthithaai
Oru siripil ithayam parithaai
Vennilavae tharayil uthithaai
Oru siripil ithayam parithaai
Nee enathu kanavil varavae ezhaamal irukkiren
Un swaasam uyirai thodavae vidaamal pidikkiren
Vennilavai vizhiyil pidithaai
Oru siripil idhayam parithaai
Nee enadhu kanavil varavae ezhaamal irukkiren
Un swaasam uyirai thodavae vidamaal pidikkiren
Tu maast kalandher yaara ya rabba
Tu maast kalandher pyaara ya rabba
Loo hogayi teri.. loo hogayi teri
Loo hogayi teri..wah re wah re waah
{Azhage nee oor bhoogambam thaana?
Aruge vanthaal poo kambam thaana?} (2)
Theeya neera theeraatha mayakkam
Theeyum neerum pennulae irukkum
Anaithida erinthidum pendhegam athisayam
Vennilavae tharayil uthithaai
Oru siripil ithayam parithaai
Oru naal kannil nee vanthu sernthaai
Marunaal ennai kandenae puthithaai
Vizhigal meena thoondilgal enben
Vizhunthen pennae anantham konden
Nilavaram kalavaram nenjodu mazhai varum
Vennilavai vizhiyil pidithaai
Oru siripil idhayam parithaai
Nee enadhu kanavil varavae ezhaamal irukkiren
Un swaasam uyirai thodavae vidamaal pidikkiren
Loo hogayi teri.. loo hogayi teri
Loo hogayi teri..wah re wah re waah
O my carefree friend, O Lord!
O my lovely carefree friend, O Lord!
I have become yours... look, I have become yours!
I have become yours... oh wow, look at that!
O bright moon, you descended onto the earth,
With a single smile, you stole my heart.
O bright moon, you descended onto the earth,
With a single smile, you stole my heart.
Just so you stay in my dreams, I refuse to wake up.
So your breath touches my soul, I hold on without letting go.
You caught the bright moon in your eyes,
With a single smile, you stole my heart.
Just so you stay in my dreams, I refuse to wake up.
So your breath touches my soul, I hold on without letting go.
O my carefree friend, O Lord!
O my lovely carefree friend, O Lord!
I have become yours... look, I have become yours!
I have become yours... oh wow, look at that!
Beautiful girl, are you an earthquake?
Yet when you come close, are you a pillar of flowers?
Is it fire or water, this endless trance?
Both fire and water live within a woman.
It is a wonder how a woman's body burns when embraced!
O bright moon, you descended onto the earth,
With a single smile, you stole my heart.
One day, you entered my sight,
The next day, I found myself brand new.
Are your eyes fish? I would call them fishing hooks!
I was caught, girl, and found pure joy.
My mind is in sweet turmoil, and rain falls in my heart.
You caught the bright moon in your eyes,
With a single smile, you stole my heart.
Just so you stay in my dreams, I refuse to wake up.
So your breath touches my soul, I hold on without letting go.
I have become yours... look, I have become yours!
I have become yours... oh wow, look at that!
