அடி ராதா ராதா உன்னை நீ தா........ஆ....ஆ....
நானே என்னை தரும்
ஹாஹ் நாளும் நாளை வரும்
இது வேகம் காட்டும் வேளைதானா....ஆ....
Hey Radha Radha, give yourself to me...
The day I surrender myself...
Ah, that day will come tomorrow.
Is this the time to show such haste?
மோகம் தீயானதே
ஆஹ்
தேகம் சூடானதே...
ஆஹான்
Lust has turned into fire...
Ah
The body has grown hot
Aha
அடி ராதா ராதா உன்னை நீ தா........ஆ....ஆ....
நானே என்னை தரும் நாளும் நாளை வரும்
இது வேகம் காட்டும் வேளைதானா...ஆ.....ஆ......

Hey Radha Radha, give yourself to me...
The day I surrender myself...
That day will come tomorrow.
Is this the time to show such haste?
Lust has turned into fire, the body has grown hot.
பனி விழும் இரவில் பௌர்ணமி நிலவில்
பஞ்சணை தேடாத நெஞ்சம் ஏது
பத்து விரல் இணைந்து சித்திரங்கள் வரைந்து
பார்ப்பது போல் இன்ப வேதனை ஏது
On a misty night under the full moon light,
Which heart does not seek a bed of feathers?
Ten fingers joining together to paint pictures,
What sweet agony is like witnessing that?
{கையும் கையும் மெய்யும் மெய்யும்
சொந்தம் கொண்டாட
கள்ளில் ஊறும் உள்ளம் ரெண்டும்
வானில் நின்றாட......} (2)
Hands in hands, body to body,
Celebrating intimacy,
Both hearts, melting like water from stone,
Dance in the sky.
அடி ராதா ராதா
அடி ராதா ராதா உன்னை நீ தா........ஆ....ஆ....
நானே என்னை தரும்
நாளும் நாளை வரும்
இது வேகம் காட்டும் வேளைதானா....ஆ....ஆ
மோகம் தீயானதே தேகம் சூடானதே...
Hey Radha Radha
Hey Radha Radha, give yourself to me...
The day I surrender myself...
That day will come tomorrow.
Is this the time to show such haste?
Lust has turned into fire, the body has grown hot.
சின்னஞ்சிறு இடையில் என்ன இது புதையல்
சோதனை போடாமல் நான் விடமாட்டேன்
காலம் உள்ள வரையில் நெஞ்சமென்னும் சிறையில்
உன்னையும் பூட்டாமல் நான் விடமாட்டேன்
What treasure is hidden in this tiny waist?
I will not let you go without testing it.
As long as time exists, in the prison of my heart,
I will not let you go without locking you in.
{நெஞ்சம் எங்கும் சந்தம் சிந்தும்
காதல் சங்கீதம்
மன்னன் உந்தன் கைகள் தொட்டால்
எங்கும் செந்தூரம்...} (2)
Pouring musical rhythm across the heart,
This sangeetham of love,
When my king's hands touch me,
Saffron red spreads everywhere.
அடி ராதா ராதா
அடி ராதா ராதா உன்னை நீ தா........ஆ....ஆ....
நானே என்னை தரும்
லல லலல்லா
நாளும் நாளை வரும்
லல லலல்லா
இது வேகம் காட்டும் வேளைதானா....ஆ....ஆ
மோகம் தீயானதே தேகம் சூடானதே...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This sensual and romantic duet from Alaya Deepam portrays the intense longing and playful romantic banter between two lovers.

In response, the female protagonist teasingly urges patience while acknowledging her own deep emotional devotion.

“Pani vizhum iravil pournami nilavil”
The initial 'p' sound repeats across 'Pani' and 'pournami', endowing the verse with an agreeable phonetic rhythm.
Uruvagam (Metaphor)
“Kaalam ulla varaiyil nenjamennum siraiyil”
The heart is poetically metaphorized as a loving prison ('nenjamennum sirai') to lock the beloved inside forever.
