அந்தப் பக்கம் தானா காதல் மயக்கம்
இந்தப் பக்கம் பாரு உன்னைக் கட்டியணைக்கும்
அன்பைக் கொட்டியளக்கும்
Is it on that side?
The trance of love?
Look at this side,
It will embrace you tightly,
And shower you with boundless affection.
அந்தப் பக்கம் தானா காதல் மயக்கம்
இந்தப் பக்கம் இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் வேகம் இருக்கும்
உந்தன் தாகம் தணிக்கும்
Is it on that side?
The trance of love?
On this side, there is even more
Pace and fervor,
Which will quench your deep thirst.
{மெதுவாய் சத்தம் வர
முத்தமிடு அணைத்து
மலரின் பொன் மேனியை
பன்னீரிலே நனைத்து} (2)
கன்னம்தான் மாறும் வண்ணம்தான்
Not one, not two, shall I give three hundred?
ஒன்றல்ல ரெண்டல்ல முந்நூறு நான் தரவா
Shall I sing a lullaby on my lap?
Shall I pamper and hold you?
Crafting that which isn't found in nectar,
Distilling it like fine wine,
மடியில் தாலாட்டவா
சீராட்டாவா எடுத்து
மதுவில் இல்லாததை
கள்ளாக நான் வடித்து
Pluck the lotus flower...
அள்ளிப் போ.....
Pinch the flower and let it bloom.
பூவைக் கிள்ளிப் போ.....
Is it on that side?
The trance of love?
Look at this side,
It will embrace you tightly,
And shower you with boundless affection.

உந்தன் தாகம் தணிக்கும்
For the young king, a royal queen—
I am the perfect match.
The reign of the night
Will be ruled by a bed of roses.
இளையராஜாவுக்கு
ராஜாத்தி நான் பொருத்தம்
இரவு ராஜாங்கத்தை
ரோஜா மெத்தை நடத்தும்
When evenings arrive, playful acts begin,
மாலைகள் வந்தால் லீலைகள்
Filled with joy and romantic banter,
Every day, right here.
உல்லாசம் சல்லாபம் எந்நாளும் இங்கேதான்....
In the bathing stream,
As the upper garments become soaked,
குளிக்கும் நீரோடையில்
மேலாடைகள் நனைந்து
With our burning hearts,
We shall unite and grapple in love.
கொதிக்கும் நெஞ்சோடு
நாம் போராடுவோம் இணைந்து
Right here...
Female: Bliss is right here!
இங்கேதான்.....
இன்பம் இங்கேதான்.......
Is it on that side?
The trance of love?
அந்தப் பக்கம் தானா காதல் மயக்கம்
Look at this side,
It will embrace you tightly,
And shower you with boundless affection.

அன்பைக் கொட்டியளக்கும்
