ஆகாயம் எங்கெங்கும் பூத்தூவுது
ஆனந்தம் கண்ணோரம் நீர்த் தூவுது
என் மனதிலும் உன் மனதிலும் தேன் வழிகிறது
வான் எதுவரை நாம் அதுவரை
போய் வருவது கல்யாண ஊர்கோலம்
The sky is scattering flowers everywhere
Joy is sprinkling tears at the corner of the eyes
Honey overflows in my heart and in your heart
As far as the sky reaches, we shall go that far
What comes and goes is a grand wedding procession
ஆகாயம் எங்கெங்கும் பூத்தூவுது
ஆனந்தம் கண்ணோரம் நீர்த் தூவுது
என் மனதிலும் உன் மனதிலும் தேன் வழிகிறது
வான் எதுவரை நாம் அதுவரை
போய் வருவது கல்யாண ஊர்கோலம்
The sky is scattering flowers everywhere
Joy is sprinkling tears at the corner of the eyes
Honey overflows in my heart and in your heart
As far as the sky reaches, we shall go that far
What comes and goes is a grand wedding procession
ஆகாயம் எங்கெங்கும் பூத்தூவுது
The sky is scattering flowers everywhere
ஒட்டிக்கொண்டொரு ரெட்டை மாங்கனி
தொட்டில் ஆடுதடி
ஒத்துக் கொள் எனைக் கட்டிக்கொள் என
கட்டில் தேடுதடி
A pair of twin mangoes on a single stem
Is swinging in the cradle
Saying, 'Accept me, embrace me'
The bed is searching
பட்டுப் போல் உடல் தொட்டுப் பாத்ததும்
வெட்கம் வந்ததுவே
எட்டிப் போகையில் ஒட்டிக்கொள் என
உள்ளம் சொன்னதுவே
As soon as the silk-like body was touched and felt
Shyness arrived
When moving away, 'stick close' is what
The heart whispered
விழிகளில் நவரசம் இதழ்களில் மதுரசம்
மனதினில் பரவசம் தினம் தினம் இலவசம்
வானம் பூமி சேரும் நேரம் நாம் சேரலாம்
Nine emotions in the eyes, sweet nectar on the lips
Female: Ecstasy in the heart, a daily free offer
Male: The moment sky meets earth, we too shall unite
ஆகாயம் எங்கெங்கும் பூத்தூவுது
ஆனந்தம் கண்ணோரம் நீர்த் தூவுது
என் மனதிலும் உன் மனதிலும் தேன் வழிகிறது
வான் எதுவரை நாம் அதுவரை
போய் வருவது கல்யாண ஊர்கோலம்
The sky is scattering flowers everywhere
Male: Joy is sprinkling tears at the corner of the eyes
Female: Honey overflows in my heart and in your heart
As far as the sky reaches, we shall go that far
What comes and goes is a grand wedding procession
ஆகாயம் எங்கெங்கும் பூத்தூவுது
The sky is scattering flowers everywhere
மெத்தைக்கும் சுக வித்தைக்கும்
ஒரு தத்தை ஏங்கியதே
விண்ணுக்குள் வரும் சொர்க்கத்தை இது
மண்ணில் தேடியதே
For the mattress and the art of bliss
A parrot became the ladder
The heavenly bliss found in the skies
This was searched for on earth
ஆஹா தித்திக்கும் ஒரு முத்தத்தில்
மனம் தேனில் ஊறியதே
முத்தத்தில் வரும் சத்தத்தில்
ஒரு மோகம் ஏறியதே
Ah, a sweet kiss;
The mind soaked in honey
In the sound that comes from a kiss
A passion escalated
விரல்களும் விரல்களும்
இணைவதில் ஒரு சுகம்
விழிகளும் விழிகளும்
கலப்பதில் ஒரு சுகம்
காதல் தீபம் கண்கள்
ரெண்டில் நீ கொண்டு வா
Fingers joining with fingers
Brings joy in uniting
Male: Eyes mixing with eyes
Brings joy in blending together
Female: The light of love in your two eyes
Bring it along with you
ஆகாயம் எங்கெங்கும் பூத்தூவுது
ஆனந்தம் கண்ணோரம் நீர்த் தூவுது
என் மனதிலும் உன் மனதிலும் தேன் வழிகிறது
வான் எதுவரை நாம் அதுவரை
போய் வருவது கல்யாண ஊர்கோலம்
