ஆசை என்னை விரட்ட நான்தான் உன்னை விரட்ட
சுவரேறிதான்....ஆ.....வந்து குதிச்சேன் வாரியணைச்சேன்....
ஏதேதோ நெனப்புதான் எனக்குத்தான்
மனசுல பறக்கத்தான் தூங்காது
Desire chases me, so I chase you
Climbing over the wall, I jumped down and embraced you tightly
A certain feeling fills me
It flutters in my heart and won't let me sleep
ஆசை உன்ன வெரட்ட நீதான் என்ன வெரட்ட
சுவரேறிதான்.....ஆ.... வந்து குதிச்சே வாரியணைச்சே.....
ஏதேதோ நெனப்புதான் எனக்குத்தான்
மனசுல பறக்கத்தான் தூங்காது
Desire chases you, so you chase me
Climbing over the wall, you jumped down and embraced me tightly
A certain feeling fills me
It flutters in my heart and won't let me sleep
பூப்பூக்கத்தான் நான் பாக்கத்தான்
பாலாறும் தேனாறும் பாய
நீராடத்தான் போராடத்தான்
நீ பாதி நான் பாதி சாய
For flowers to bloom and for me to behold
As rivers of milk and honey flow
To play around like splashing water
As you lean halfway and I lean halfway
காதோடு காதா நான் கொஞ்ச தோதா
ராவோடு ராவா ராஜாவே வா வா
ஏணி மேலே ஏணி வச்சு ஏறுவேன்
இந்த மாடி வீட்ட தேடி வந்து சேருவேன்
Whispering softly ear to ear conveniently
Merging into the night, come oh king, come
Male: I will climb placing ladder upon ladder
I will seek and reach this upstairs house
ஆசை உன்ன வெரட்ட நீதான் என்ன வெரட்ட
சுவரேறிதான்.....ஆ.... வந்து குதிச்சே வாரியணைச்சே.....
ஏதேதோ நெனப்புதான் எனக்குத்தான்
மனசுல பறக்கத்தான் தூங்காது
Desire chases you, so you chase me
Climbing over the wall, you jumped down and embraced me tightly
Male: A certain feeling fills me
It flutters in my heart and won't let me sleep
கூடாதய்யா ஆகாதய்யா
தீண்டாதே நீ என்ன மெல்ல ஏய்
பூமாலத்தான் போடாமத்தான்
நீ வந்தா நான் என்ன சொல்ல
This is not right, sir, this cannot be, sir
Do not touch me gently like that, hey
Without even exchanging floral garlands
If you come to me, what can I say?
ஏகாந்த நேரம் ஏதேதோ ஆச்சு
எல்லாமே இங்கே சூடேறிப் போச்சு
நாலில் நல்ல நாணமின்னு சொல்ல வா
அது போன பின்பு ஆனமட்டும் அள்ளவா
In this lonely hour, strange feelings arise
Everything here has turned heated and intense
Female: Shall I say that shyness is good during the day?
Once shyness leaves, take pleasure as much as you want, isn't it?
ஆசை என்னை விரட்ட நான்தான் உன்னை விரட்ட
சுவரேறிதான்....ஆ.....வந்து குதிச்சேன் வாரியணைச்சேன்....
ஏதேதோ நெனப்புதான் எனக்குத்தான்
மனசுல பறக்கத்தான் தூங்காது
Desire chases me, so I chase you
Climbing over the wall, I jumped down and embraced you tightly
Female: A certain feeling fills me
It flutters in my heart and won't let me sleep
Aasai ennai viratta naanthaan unnai viratta
