அழகிய முகம் முழுமை நிலா
அது வருவது இனிமை உலா
அழகிய முகம் முழுமை நிலா
அது வருவது இனிமை உலா
இளகிய உடல் இனிய பலா
இடையினில் ஒரு மதன விழா
A beautiful face is like a full moon,
Its arrival is a sweet stroll.
A beautiful face is like a full moon,
Its arrival is a sweet stroll.
A tender body is a sweet stroll,
And at the waist lies a festival of love.
முத்துக்கள் செவ்வாயில் மூடி கிடக்கும்
முத்துக்கள் செவ்வாயில் மூடி கிடக்கும்
மோகத்தில் பெண் மான்கள் ஆடி களிக்கும்
மோகத்தில் பெண் மான்கள் ஆடி களிக்கும்
Pearls lie hidden in the red lips,
Pearls lie hidden in the red lips,
Female deer dance joyfully in desire,
Female deer dance joyfully in desire.
அழகிய முகம் முழுமை நிலா
அது வருவது இனிமை உலா
A beautiful face is like a full moon,
Its arrival is a sweet stroll.
வஞ்சிக் கொடிகள் கொஞ்சும் கிளிகள்
பாடி ஆடும் காதல் அரங்கமோ
விண் மீன்களோ கண் மீன்களோ
நீராடும் பெண் மீன்களோ
Vines of creepers and lisping parrots,
Is this a stage of love where they sing and dance?
Are these stars in the sky or star-like eyes?
Are these female fish bathing in water?
மரகதமணியென மதுரச இதழ்களில்
புதுவித இசை வருமோ
இளமையின் பிடியினில்
இடையிது இடையினில் தாளம் போடுமோ
Like an emerald gem, from lips filled with sweet nectar,
Will a new kind of music flow?
In the tight grip of youth,
Will this slender waist keep beat to the rhythm?
அழகிய முகம் முழுமை நிலா
அது வருவது இனிமை உலா
A beautiful face is like a full moon,
Its arrival is a sweet stroll.
முத்துக்கள் செவ்வாயில் மூடி கிடக்கும்
மோகத்தில் பெண் மான்கள் ஆடி களிக்கும்
ஆ....ஆ....ஆ....ஆ....ஆஹ்....ஆ....ஆ.....
Pearls lie hidden in the red lips,
Female deer dance joyfully in desire.
Aa….aa…aa….aa…aah…aa….aa….
அழகிய முகம் முழுமை நிலா
அது வருவது இனிமை உலா
A beautiful face is like a full moon,
Its arrival is a sweet stroll.

இந்த சிலைகள் அந்தி கலைகள்
காண வேண்டும் நாளும் உன்னோடுதான்
இங்கே சுகம் அங்கே மணம்
என்றாடும் என்னோடுதான்
These sculptured statues and evening arts,
I wish to behold every day only with you.
Pleasure is here, my heart is there,
Ever swaying along with me.
விழிகளும் விழிகளும் இணைகிற பொழுதினில்
மொழிகளும் அவசியமோ
விலகிய திரையினில் விடிகிற வரையினில்
நாளும் ஆடவோ.........
When eyes meet eyes in unity,
Are words even necessary?
Behind the drawn curtain, until dawn arrives,
Shall we dance every day?
அழகிய முகம் முழுமை நிலா
அது வருவது இனிமை உலா
A beautiful face is like a full moon,
Its arrival is a sweet stroll.
ஹா.......முத்துக்கள் செவ்வாயில் மூடி கிடக்கும்
மோகத்தில் பெண் மான்கள் ஆடி களிக்கும்
ஆ....ஆ....ஆ....ஆ....ஆஹ்....ஆ....ஆ.....
Haa…. pearls lie hidden in the red lips,
Female deer dance joyfully in desire.
Aa….aa…aa….aa…aah…aa….aa….
