Aalaana dhegam engum

Hei aalaana dhegam engum

Noolaana pennai theenda

Thithikkum dhegathai

Thaeneekkal moikkudhae

Othaikku othaiyaaga vaada

Thoongaadha kannukkul

Nee thoonga varuvaaya

Vennila kannam thottu

Verrodu parithidu

Aalaana dhegam engum

Aan vaasanai

Noolaana pennai theenda

Yen yosanai

Ettu padhinettu indha pennoda

Dhegam thottu

Aadu vilaiyaadu needhaan

Kaiyaal iru kaiyaal

Nee ennai pootikkolla

Vaa vaa varuvaaya needhaan

Indha mezhuguvarthiyai

Dhinam yetri vaithidu

Ennai uruga vaithidu… vaa vaa

Moondraam piraiyinai

Nee oodhi oodhiyae

Adhai muzhumai yaakkidu… vaa vaa

Aalaana dhegam engum

Aan vaasanai

Noolaana pennai theenda

Yen yosanai

...

All over this matured body,

is a man's fragrance.

Hey, all over this matured body,

is a man's fragrance.

To touch this slender, thread-like woman,

why do you hesitate?

Around this sweet body,

honeybees are swarming.

Come to me, one on one!

Inside these sleepless eyes,

will you come to sleep?

Touch my moonlike cheek

and pluck me out by the roots.

All over this matured body,

is a man's fragrance.

To touch this slender, thread-like woman,

why do you hesitate?

Eighteen years old, touch this woman's

body and play,

you come play and dance.

With your hands, with both hands,

lock me in your embrace.

Come, come, won't you come?

Light this candle

every single day,

and make me melt... come, come.

Blow upon this crescent moon

again and again,

and turn it into a full moon... come, come.

All over this matured body,

is a man's fragrance.

To touch this slender, thread-like woman,

why do you hesitate?

...

Whether it is you or me,

if we walk along a straight line,

a sweet, blissful joy will unfold.

When a beetle,

is left without any prey,

it is a pity to be born as a flower.

In the middle of many thorns,

for a rose to live,

oh, isn't that a pity? Come, come.

Upon a soft bed,

giving a kiss, should I

chew and devour you? Come, come.

All over this matured body,

is a man's fragrance.

To touch this slender, thread-like woman,

why do you hesitate?

Around this sweet body,

honeybees are swarming.

Come to me, one on one!

Inside these sleepless eyes,

will you come to sleep?

Touch my moonlike cheek

and pluck me out by the roots...
