Female: Darling, will you come? Come as a pair
Darling, will you come? Come as a pair
அடி ஆசை உச்சத்திலே ராசி மச்சத்திலே
Oh, at the peak of desire, blessed with a lucky mole
தேகம் இது ஒரு அதிசயம்
மோகம் அது ஒரு ரகசியம் வா வா
வேகம் தினம் ஒரு விதம்
நேரில் பலவித சுகம் தரும் வா வா
This body is a marvel
Lust is a secret, come come
Passion takes a new form every day
In person, it offers many kinds of pleasure, come come
நினைத்ததை நடத்தலாம்
நடப்பதை நினைக்கலாம்
என்னை நினைத்தால்....
சொர்க்கம் இருக்கு
என்னை அணைச்சா...
இன்பம் உனக்கு
We can bring to life whatever we dream of
We can cherish whatever comes to pass
If you think of me
Male: Heaven is right here
Female: If you embrace me
Male: Delightful bliss
வா ரோஜா நான் ராஜா
வாசல் தேடி நேரம் பார்த்து

ஆயுள் தினசரி குறையுது
ஆசை மனசிலே வரையுது வா.....வா....
ஏதோ இளமையை கெடுக்குது
தூக்கம் கனவினை கொடுக்குது வா.....வா....
Lifespan diminishes day by day
Desire paints itself in the heart, come... come...
Something stirs and unsettles my youth
Sleep brings sweet dreams, come... come...
இளமையின் சரசமே இனிமையில் அடக்கமே
என்ன நெனச்சா........
இன்பம் பிறக்கும்
சொல்ல மறந்தா.....
துன்பம் பறக்கும்
கூறாயோ வாராயோ
The romance of youth is contained in pure sweetness
If you think about it
Male: Happiness will be born
Female: If you forget to speak
Male: Sorrows will fly away
Won't you say? Won't you come?
தேவை என்ன மன்னன் சொல்ல
பாவை என்னை அள்ளிச் செல்ல
Let the king express what he needs
So he may scoop up this maiden and take her away
ஆசை உச்சத்திலே
லலல்லா...
