ஆசையா ஆசையா
சாய வேணும் உன் தோளுல
எப்ப நீ வருவியோ
குழந்தை போல மடியில
With great desire, with deep desire,
I want to lean on your shoulder,
When will you come,
To rest on my lap like a child?
உன் பார்வையில்
வேர்கிறேனே ஏனடா
உன் ஸ்பரிசத்தில்
தோற்கிறேனே நானடா
இடைவெளி இப்போ குறையுதே
இனி இம்சை தானே.. ஹம் ம்ம்ம் ம்ம்ம்

ஆசை வளர்ந்து
ஆடை தளர்ந்து
தேகம் மெலிந்து தவிக்குது
வா அழகே
வெட்டுப்பட்ட பாம்பு போல
உசுரும் உள்ள துடிக்குதே
அதை நான் உணர்ந்தேன் உயிரே
இரவு சூரியனே நீ தானாடா
வா பணியே
நீ எனக்குள் கரைந்துவிடு
As desire grows,
As clothes loosen,
The body thins and suffers in longing.
Male: Come, my beautiful one,
Female: Like a severed snake,
Usurum ulla thudikudhae (My inner soul twitches and throbs).
Male: I felt that, my life.
Female: You are my night sun, my dear man.
Male: Come, my dew drops,
Dissolve yourself inside me.
