Who has entered into whose heart here?
Who gave away their heart to whom here?
It is a question without an answer,
true love is a sacred sacrifice.
Who has entered into whose heart here?
Who gave away their heart to whom here?
It is a question without an answer,
true love is a sacred sacrifice.
To receive the blessing of your love,
for you to cast a glance from the corner of your eyes,
like a patient crane, every single day,
I stood on one leg, my darling!
Who has entered into whose heart here?
Who gave away their heart to whom here?
It is a question without an answer,
true love is a sacred sacrifice.
I was the peacock who charmed the whole town,
yet today, I have lost my heart to you.
A battle with your eyes,
you waged against me every day.
Ohoho
You stood here like a streak of lightning,
and like the breath I take every day,
I wrap myself around you,
I wrap myself around you.
Unlike camphor left burning in the wind,
our love will never fade away.
Being away from you and bearing this burning ache,
I cannot live anymore.
Come to me, my love, hey hey!
Who is it...
Female: Aha, who has entered into whose heart here?
Male: Mmm, who gave away their heart to whom here?
Female: It is a question without an answer,
Male: True love is a sacred sacrifice...
To dry your clothes,
as the wire clothesline at your home,
I imagined myself,
and prayed with all my heart.
Aaha haha
Muttering playful, naughty words,
you bounced closer and closer to me.
Step away now, or else...
something might happen!
When spoken with love in one's heart,
even Chennai Tamil is sweet as honey!
When a flood of desire surges,
even the vast Bay of Bengal feels like a tiny stream!
Come to me, my love... ha!
Who is it...
Female: Mmm
Male: Who has entered into whose heart here?
Female: Ahahaa
Male: Who gave away their heart to whom here?
It is a question without an answer,
Female: True love is a sacred sacrifice.
To receive the blessing of your love,
for you to cast a glance from the corner of your eyes,
like a patient crane, every single day,
I stood on one leg, my darling!
Who has entered into whose heart here?
Who gave away their heart to whom here?
It is a question without an answer,
true love is a sacred sacrifice.
