இஷ்க்......இஷ்க்.....இஷ்க்......இஷ்க்......
The gentleman has the desire in his heart,
The lady has the age of youth,
The beginning is taking place now,
Love... love... love... love...
அங்கே கொஞ்சம் இடமிருக்கு
அதை நெனச்சா சொகமிருக்கு
அச்சாரம் கேட்கின்றது
இஷ்க்......இஷ்க்.....இஷ்க்......இஷ்க்......
There is a little room over there,
Thinking of that brings a sweet aching feeling,
An advance token of love is being asked,
Love... love... love... love...

நெனச்சா போதும் இனிப்பா மாறும்
நேரம் இதுதானம்மா
அணைச்சேன் உன்னை அதிலே என்னை
நானே மறந்தேனம்மா
Just a thought is enough to turn everything sweet,
This is the perfect time, my lady,
I embraced you, and within that,
I completely forgot myself, my lady,
எனக்கும் ஆசை அதிகம் ஆனால்
நாணம் விடவில்லை
இருந்தும் கூட அருகில் வந்து
நீயும் விடவில்லையே........
I too have immense desire, but,
My shyness refuses to leave me,
Even so, coming close to me,
You too did not let me go...

இரவே போதும் பகலே வேண்டாம்
இன்பம் அதுதானய்யா
இடையே தென்றல் நுழைந்தால் கூட
ஏக்கம் வருமேயய்யா
The night alone is enough, no need for the day,
That true pleasure lies right there, my sir,
Even if a gentle breeze passes between us,
A deep longing arises within, my sir,
மலர்கள் தூவி படுக்கை போட்டு
மஞ்சம் அமைப்போமடி
மயக்கம் பாதி மௌனம் பாதி
கொஞ்சி மகிழ்வோமடி.....
Let us shower flowers and make a bed,
We shall set up a soft floral bed, my dear,
Half filled with intoxication, half with silence,
Let us cuddle and rejoice together, my dear,
