Vaada Podaa ThirudaaHey you, my little thief,
Yeda Kooda MuradaaMy clumsy, stubborn brute,
Vaada Podaa ThirudaaHey you, my little thief,
Yeda Kooda MuradaaMy clumsy, stubborn brute.
Paakkum Bothu Nee Paasakaaran ThaanWhen I’m just watching, you seem so full of love,
Pazhagum Bodhu Nee Mosakkaran ThaanBut when we’re together, you’re quite the trickster.
Kai Regai Thaeiya PidipaayoWill you hold my hand until my palm lines wear away,
Mell Aadai Pola Nee Otti KolvaayaCling to me like a soft garment,
Kannadi Pola NadippaayaAct like a mirror reflecting my soul,
Unai Kaanum Neram Nee Ennai PaarpaaiyaaAnd will you look at me when I’m looking at you?
Vaada Podaa ThirudaaHey you, my little thief,
Yeda Kooda MuradaaMy clumsy, stubborn brute,
Vaada Podaa ThirudaaHey you, my little thief,
Yeda Kooda MuradaaMy clumsy, stubborn brute.
