அடி காதல் ஒரு
கண்ணில் காமம் ஒரு
கண்ணில் இது தான்
தேன் நிலா
Oh girl, love in one eye, desire in the other eye
This indeed is the honeymoon
சிறு முத்தம்
தருகையில் மொத்தம்
நனைவது அடடா
தேன் நிலா
Getting completely drenched while giving a tiny kiss
Oh wow, this is the honeymoon!
நான் காலம் முழுதும்
தூங்கும் தலையணை உந்தன்
நெஞ்சிலா
Is the pillow I sleep on for a lifetime...
...your chest?
உன் மூச்சுக்காற்று
தேகம் கிள்ளும் மாலை
தென்றலா
Your warm breath pinches my body
...is it an evening breeze?
கலந்திடவா
கரைந்திடவா
Shall I blend with you...
Female: Shall I dissolve...
விரல்களை நுழைத்து
கூந்தலை கலைத்து இதழ்களை
அடைத்து இதயத்தை நிறுத்து
Running fingers through, messing up the hair
Closing the lips, pausing the heart
தேகத்தை கொடுத்து
தீபத்தை நிறுத்து வாரியே
கொடுப்பேன் வசதியை
பொறுத்து
Surrendering the body, turning off the lamp
I shall give generously depending on my means
பற பற பறவென
மோக வெள்ளம் பாய்வது
எதற்கு
Why does the flood of passion surge so rapidly?
அடடடா டடடா
ஆணி வேரும் இனிக்குது
எனக்கு
Aha, even the taproot tastes sweet to me!
என் மேனியில்
மயில் இறகாக உன் மீசை
ஆடியதென்ன
When your clothes slipped away, I became your garment
Tell me the answer, girl... what is your reply?
உன் ஆடைகள்
நழுவிய போது ஆடை
நானே விடை சொல்லடி
பதில் என்னடி
Aahhaaaaa…..
ஆஹா
This is a wonderful feeling, a practice for youth
An effort to find the soul within the body
இது நல்ல உணர்ச்சி
இளமைக்கு பயிற்சி உடம்புக்குள்
உயிரை தேடிடும் முயற்சி
Today I discovered another blossoming
Tomorrow too, I want this continuation of pleasures
நான் இன்று கண்டேன்
இன்னொரு மலர்ச்சி நாளைக்கும்
வேண்டும் சுகங்களின் தொடர்ச்சி
If you tell me what your needs are
I will fulfill them, for that is my duty
உன் தேவைகள்
எவை என்று சொன்னால்
தீர்த்து வைப்பேன் அது
என் கடமை
It is a man's duty to discover what a woman needs
Find out... find out...
பெண் தேவைகள்
எவை என்று காண ஆணின்
கடமை கண்டுபிடி கண்டுபிடி
Oh girl, love in one eye, desire in the other eye
This indeed is the honeymoon
அடி காதல் ஒரு
கண்ணில் காமம் ஒரு
கண்ணில் இது தான்
தேன் நிலா
Getting completely drenched while giving a tiny kiss
Oh wow, this is the honeymoon!
