அடடா இதுதான் சுகமோ
மலர்களின் இதழ் வழி
பனி மழை விழும் சுகமோ
இனிமேல் தினமும் விழாக் கோலமே
Aha, is this true pleasure?
Through the petals of flowers,
Is it the bliss of falling dew-rain?
From now on, every day is a festive celebration!
அடடா இதுதான் சுகமோ
மலர்களின் இதழ் வழி
பனி மழை விழும் சுகமோ
இனிமேல் தினமும் விழாக் கோலமே
Aha, is this true pleasure?
Through the petals of flowers,
Is it the bliss of falling dew-rain?
From now on, every day is a festive celebration!
விழிகளும் விழிகளூம் தழுவிடும் பொழுதினில்
ஏதோ ஏதோ லீலைகள்
விரல்களூம் விரல்களும் உரசிடும் பொழுதினில்
காதல் தீயின் ஜுவாலைகள்
When eyes meet eyes,
In moments of gentle embrace,
Mysterious playful games begin.
Male: When fingers touch fingers,
In moments of gentle rubbing,
Flames of love's fire burn bright.
கன்னங்களில் தாமரை காதல் தூவும்
சின்னங்களின் தேன் மழைச்சாரல் வீசும்
கருங்கூந்தலின் ஊஞ்சலில் பூக்கள் ஆடும்
Upon the lotus cheeks,
Pollen is scattered,
A drizzle of honeyed rain,
Breezes through love's tokens.
Male: On the swing of dark, long hair,
Flowers sway and dance.
அடடா ஆண் :
ஆஹா
இதுதான் ஆண் :
ஓஹோ ஹோ
சுகமோ
மலர்களின் இதழ் வழி
Aha!

பனி மழை விழும் சுகமோ
இருவர் :
இனிமேல் தினமும் விழாக் கோலமே
Around a waist as thin as a creeper vine,
Why hold two umbrellas?
Why oh why, my darling?
Female: As two lovers embrace,
The soft moonlight begins to burn with passion,
The full moon hour has arrived.
ஒரு கொடி இடையினில் இரு குடை பிடித்தது
ஏனோ ஏனோ கண்மணி
தழுவிடும் இருவரின் நிலவொளி சுடுவது
நேரம் இதோ பவுர்ணமி
The blue lotus in her eyes,
Gives a silent signal,
When I touch, the vermillion,
Paints a rich red hue.
Female: The strings of the flute and veena,
Pluck melody through me.
நீலோர்பனம் கண்ணிலே ஜாடை காட்டும்
நான் தொட்டதும் குங்குமம் சாயம் தீட்டும்
குழல் வீணையின் தந்திகள் எனை மீட்டும்
அடடா இதுதான் சுகமோ......
Aha!
Female: Aahhaa..
Male: Is this...
Female: Aahhaa..
Male: Pleasure?

சுகமோ
மலர்களின் இதழ் வழி
பனி மழை விழும் சுகமோ

இனிமேல் தினமும் விழாக் கோலமே
லல்லாலால லல்லாலால
லல்லாலால லல்லாலால
