அடி நேற்றிரவு நடந்ததென்ன
நீ அறிவாயோ
Hey girl, what happened last night?
Do you know?
இந்த பூச்சரத்தில் தேன் எடுத்தாய்
நீ மறந்தாயோ
You extracted honey from this flower garland,
Have you forgotten?
தித்தித்தது நெஞ்சம்
The heart felt sweet,
சம்சம் சம்
Chamcham cham
தென்பட்டது கொஞ்சம்
A little was experienced,
சம்சம் சம்
உள்ளதெல்லாம் சொல்லித் தந்தேனே
சொல்லியது பத்தாதோ
Chamcham cham
I shared everything in my heart,
Wasn't what was said enough?
அடி நேற்றிரவு நடந்ததென்ன
நீ அறிவாயோ
Hey girl, what happened last night?
Do you know?
இந்த பூச்சரத்தில் தேன் எடுத்தாய்
நீ மறந்தாயோ
You extracted honey from this flower garland,
Have you forgotten?
பத்து விரல் பட்டால் என்ன
முத்த மழை இட்டால் என்ன
What if ten fingers touch?
What if a rain of kisses falls?
ஆஹா ஆஹா ஆஹா
பொன்னே மணியே
Aha aha aha, my gold, my gem!
பட்டு உடல் சுட்டால் என்ன
வெட்கம் அதை விட்டால் என்ன
What if the silken body burns with passion?
What if shyness is cast away?
ஆஹா ஆஹா ஆஹா
அன்பே அமுதே
Aha aha aha, my love, my sweet nectar!
கங்கை நதி நீராட
கண்ணன் வரத்தான்
To bathe in the river Ganges,
Lord Krishna arrives;
மங்கை மடி சீராட
மன்னன் வரத்தான்
To adorn the maiden's lap,
The king arrives;
ஒரு புதிய மயக்கம்
உனக்கும் எனக்கும்
கூடி வரும் நாள் இது நேற்றிரவு...
A new intoxication,
For you and for me,
This is the day it comes together, last night...
அடி நேற்றிரவு நடந்ததென்ன
நீ அறிவாயோ
Hey girl, what happened last night?

நீ மறந்தாயோ
You extracted honey from this flower garland,
Have you forgotten?
அந்தப்புர சந்தோஷங்கள்
அர்த்த ஜாம சங்கீதங்கள்
The delights of the royal inner chambers,
The melodies of midnight,
ஆஹா ஓஹோ ஏஹே
உன்னால் வந்ததே
Aha oho ehe, came into being because of you!
தென்பொதிகைச் சாரல் என
சின்ன மணித் தூரல் என
Like the gentle mist of Podhigai hills,
Like a fine drizzle of small pearl drops,
ம்ஹும் ஆஹா ஓஹோ
இன்பம் தந்ததே
Mhum aha oho, it gave sheer bliss!
முன் பின் மனம் காணாத அன்பின் விளக்கம்
Never seen before by the mind,
The true explanation of love,
முற்றுப் புள்ளி இல்லாமல் இங்கே கிடைக்கும்
Is available here without a full stop.
இனி முதுமை வரையில் நமது உறவு
ஓடி வரக் கூடுமே
From now until old age, our bond,
Shall continue to run deep and true,
நேற்றிரவு...
அடி நேற்றிரவு நடந்ததென்ன
நீ அறிவாயோ
Last night...
