A painting made at what divine hour?
Even its shadow blushes shyly
Female: Ah... inside the desert created by my ten fingers
A flower rangoli paints itself
எந்த நேரம் செஞ்ச ஓவியம்
நிழல் கூட கூசிடுதே
ஆஆ..பத்து விரல் பொட்டை காட்டுக்குள்
பூக் கோலம் பூசிடுதே
With your dimple
You sowed a seed in me
Female: Along the eight shores
You threw me into waves
கண்ண குளியோடு தான்
என்ன வெத போட்டுட்டா
எட்டு கரையோடு தான்
என்ன அலை போட்டுட்டான்

The hair on your forehead, like a coiling snake
Teases and provokes me, my girl
Female: Ah... like a little child's stubborn act
Your hand reaches out to touch me, my boy
நெத்தி முடி சுத்தும் பாம்ப போல்

Like a cloud showering saffron flowers
Soft cotton-like mist sprinkles down, my girl
Female: Ah... like an arrow ignited by Cupid's fire
Your face shoots passion at me, my boy
குங்குமபூ கொட்டும் மேகமா
பஞ்சி வாகம் தூவுதடி

உன் மோகம் ஏவுதடா
Crossing many lifetimes
I have come; do not block my way
Female: Just to caress and bond with you
Don't cast a net around me
