ஆளான தேகம்
எங்கும் ஆண் வாசனை
ஹேய் ஆளான தேகம்
எங்கும் ஆண் வாசனை
நூலான பெண்ணை தீண்ட
ஏன் யோசனை
All over this matured body
Is the fragrance of a man
Hey, all over this matured body
Is the fragrance of a man
To touch this slender, thread-like woman
Why do you hesitate?
தித்திக்கும் தேகத்தை
தேனீக்கள் மொய்க்குதே
ஒத்தைக்கு ஒத்தையாக
வாட தூங்காத கண்ணுக்குள்
நீ தூங்க வருவாயா
வெண்ணிலா கன்னம் தொட்டு
வேரோடு பறித்திடு
Around this sweet body
Honeybees are swarming
Come meet me one-on-one, my love
Inside these sleepless eyes
Will you come to sleep?
Touch my moon-like cheek
And pluck me out by the roots
ஆளான தேகம்
எங்கும் ஆண் வாசனை
நூலான பெண்ணை தீண்ட
ஏன் யோசனை
All over this matured body
Is the fragrance of a man
To touch this slender, thread-like woman
Why do you hesitate?
எட்டு பதினெட்டு
இந்த பெண்ணோட தேகம்
தொட்டு ஆடு விளையாடு
நீதான் கையால் இரு கையால்
நீ என்னை பூட்டி கொள்ள வா
வா வருவாயா நீதான்
With this woman in her prime youth
Touching her body
Come and play your playful games
With your hands, with both hands
To lock me tight in your arms
Come, come, will you come?
இந்த மெழுகுவர்த்தியை
தினம் ஏற்றி வைத்திடு என்னை
உறங்க வைத்திடு வா வா மூன்றாம்
பிறையினை நீ ஊதி ஊதியே அதை
முழுமை ஆக்கிடு வா வா
This candle-like form
Light it up every day
Make me melt down... come, come
The crescent moon
By blowing softly on it
Make it into a full moon... come, come
ஆளான தேகம்
எங்கும் ஆண் வாசனை
நூலான பெண்ணை தீண்ட
ஏன் யோசனை
All over this matured body
Is the fragrance of a man
To touch this slender, thread-like woman
Why do you hesitate?
..................................
நீயோ இல்ல
நானோ ஒரு நேர்கோட்டில்
நடந்து வந்தால் யோகம் சுக
யோகம் தீரும் வண்டு ஒரு
வண்டு இரை இல்லாமல்
போன பின்னே பூவாய்
பிறந்தாலே பாவம்
Is it you or is it me?
If we walk towards each other in a straight line
The blissful fulfillment of desire will be completed
A bee, a solitary bee
After it goes away without its nourishment
It is a pity to even be born as a flower
பல முட்கள்
நடுவிலே ரோஜா வாழ்வது
அட பாவம் இல்லையே வா
வா ஒரு மெத்தை மீதிலே
ஒரு முத்தம் தந்து நான்
உன்னை மென்று திங்கவா
வா வா
In the midst of many sharp thorns
For a rose to live
Ah, isn't that a pity? Come, come
Upon a soft bed
By giving you a kiss
Shall I devour you softly? Come, come
ஆளான தேகம்
எங்கும் ஆண் வாசனை
நூலான பெண்ணை தீண்ட
ஏன் யோசனை
All over this matured body
Is the fragrance of a man
To touch this slender, thread-like woman
Why do you hesitate?
தித்திக்கும் தேகத்தை
தேனீக்கள் மொய்க்குதே
ஒத்தைக்கு ஒத்தையாக
வாட தூங்காத கண்ணுக்குள்
நீ தூங்க வருவாயா
வெண்ணிலா கன்னம் தொட்டு
வேரோடு பறித்திடு
Around this sweet body
Honeybees are swarming
Come meet me one-on-one, my love
Inside these sleepless eyes
Will you come to sleep?
Touch my moon-like cheek
And pluck me out by the roots...
