அவள் என்ன நினைத்தாள்
அடிக்கடி சிரித்தாள்
அவள் ஏதோ ஒரு மயக்கம் கொண்டாள்

அவள் காணாததை
அணைப்பில் கண்டாள்
ஓஹோ ஓஹோ

What will happen to my maiden heart today,

What will happen to my maiden heart today,
seeing you embrace and make love?
Is the flower garden a bedchamber?
Is the fresh green grass a soft cotton mattress?
Ohh ohh ohh aaha aahhhh
What was she thinking as she giggled repeatedly?
She was overcome by a strange intoxication.
நீ கிடைத்த இடத்திலே
பூப் பறிக்க நினைப்பதேன்
ஊர் சிரிக்கும் விதத்திலே
நீ இழுத்து அணைப்பதேன்
On your red lips,
why is there a paleness?
Though usually milk-white,
why are the eyes lying red?
என் கன்னி உள்ளம்
என்னவாகும் இன்று
நீ கட்டி கொண்டு
காதல் செய்யக் கண்டு
Shed your shyness,
come stand close beside me.
Tell me, what art have you learned?
What fine art is this, what sweet taste?
Is this a story that continues once touched?
What fine art is this, what sweet taste?

Why did she giggle repeatedly?
She was overcome by a strange intoxication.
Why was he trembling with desire?
Why did he hold her tight?

அவள் என்ன நினைத்தாள்
அடிக்கடி சிரித்தாள்
அவள் ஏதோ ஒரு மயக்கம் கொண்டாள்
உன் சிவந்த உதட்டிலே
ஓர் வெளுப்பு இருப்பதேன்
பால் நிறத்தில் இருக்குமே
கண் சிவந்து கிடப்பதேன்
நீ வெக்கம் விட்டு
பக்கம் வந்து நில்லு
நீ கற்று கொண்ட வித்தை
என்ன சொல்லு
என்ன கலையோ
என்ன சுவையோ
தொட்டு தொடங்க
தொடரும் கதையோ
ஓஹோ ஓஹோ
ஆஹாஹா ஆஹ்ஹா
அவள் என்ன நினைத்தாள்
அடிக்கடி சிரித்தாள்
அவள் ஏதோ ஒரு மயக்கம் கொண்டாள்
அவன் ஏன் துடித்தான்
