This is a Tamil song featured in the Tamil film, Sillunu Oru Kaadhal. The original is so beautiful so I thought I would add some rough translations of the song to produce a bilingual cover of it.
This performance was in English and German. These songs are so upbeat, and difficult to get out of my head! :)
The backing track used in this video was sourced from YouTube.
Answerphone is by Ella Eyre, Young Bxne and Banx and Ranx. Traum is by CRO.
Lyrics in video:
I've been talking to your answerphone, na na
Something tell me you don't want to know, na na
When I call you, you don't answer phone, na na
You don't love me, you should let me know, na na
I got a feeling
I'm over thinking 'bout thinking you're thinking of leaving
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
But real talk, I need some honesty
Honestly, you better speak up
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
Days and nights, I lie beside my phone
When you gonna let me know?
When you gonna let me know?
All I hear is, "please leave your message after the tone"
When you gonna let me know?
I've been talking to your answerphone, na na
Something tell me you don't want to know, na na
When I call you, you don't answer phone, na na
You don't love me, you should let me know, na na
Let me know, na na
Carnatic interlude
Baby nimm' meine Hand
Ich hab alles schon gepackt, komm wir beide gehen weg von hier
Sieh der Jet ist getankt, ich hab Geld auf der Bank
Und noch jede Menge Plätze hier
Und immer wenn Du einsam bist
Komm' ich rum' Du musst nie wieder alleine sein
Denn immer wenn ich Dich seh', macht es in mir tick tick boom so wie Dynamite
Aha, und alle anderen Girls, wären gern wie du
Aha, Denn du bist wunderschön, und gefährlich klug
Ey jo! Und ich hoff' dass du mich siehst
Ich bin verliebt, und hab kein' Plan ob es dich gibt
Doch manchmal träum' ich nur von Dir
Bitte sag was muss ich tun dass Du mich hörst
(Dass du mich hörst, dass du mich hörst)
Denn ich wär heut so gern bei dir
Und ich glaub ich fänd es cool wenn du mir gehörst
(Wenn du mir gehörst)
Ich fühl mich so allein, weiß nicht obs dich gibt
Und egal wie laut ich schrei sie hört mich nicht
Doch sie ist grade irgendwo und denkt vielleicht an mich
Hey Baby bitte schreib wenn es dich gibt
Days and nights, I lie beside my phone
When you gonna let me know?
When you gonna let me know?
All I hear is, "please leave your message after the tone"
When you gonna let me know?
I've been talking to your answerphone, na na
Something tell me you don't want to know, na na
When I call you, you don't answer phone, na na
You don't love me, you should let me know, na na
Let me know, na na

This song is really close to my heart as it is motivational. The strong messages of standing up for yourself and staying strong come through the lyrics.
You shout it out But I can't hear a word you say I'm talking loud not saying much I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet You shoot me down, but I get up
I'm bulletproof nothing to lose Fire away, fire away Ricochet, you take your aim Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium, I am titanium, I am titanium, I am titanium
Cut me down But it's you who has further to fall Ghost town, haunted love Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm bulletproof nothing to lose Fire away, fire away Ricochet, you take your aim Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium, I am titanium
Stone-hard, machine gun Firing at the ones who run Stone-hard, thus bulletproof glass
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium I am titanium

Hi, I have started World Music Abi on various social media platforms so I can release the ideas that I have. I feel that what I like to perform isn't generally conventional and I would like this to be a journey that can bring people together.
I feel that music can just make the world a better place so why don't we take the beauty from cultures around the world and weave them into patchworks of music.
I grew up in London, listening to 90s to current Tamil cinema songs and the carnatic music recordings that my dad likes to play. I am thankful for having the opportunity to learn carnatic music.
As I started to find different platforms to listen to music myself such as spotify and youtube, I began to explore genres such as pop, bollywood music, Hindustani music, Kpop and the list goes on.
I am fluent in both English and Tamil so the pronounciation of the lyrics in these languages will be easier for me however when I am singing in other languages, please excuse my pronounciation. I do not intend to offend anyone.
