நான் ஒத்தையில மெத்தையில
நித்திரையில் கெடக்கையில்
உன் நெனப்பு என்ன இழுக்கும்
உன் குசும்பு தொட்டு தொட்டு தூள் கெளப்பும்
When I lie alone on the bed
While resting in sleep
Your thought pulls me
Your playfulness touches me and creates excitement
உன் பத்து விரல் தொடவேணாம்
ஒத்த விரல் தொட்டா போதும்
செத்தவுடன் மோட்சம் கிடைக்கும்
ஹோய்
இல்லாட்டி செத்த பின்னும் காய்ச்சல் அடிக்கும்
No need for your ten fingers to touch me
It is enough if just one finger touches
Even upon death, salvation will be gained
Female: Hoi
Male: Otherwise, even after death, a fever will rage
இன்ப ராசா...
ஆஹ்.......
நெருப்பு நெருப்பு வந்து
நெத்தியில் கொதிக்குது
இதயம் இதயம் ரெண்டாய் வெடித்து சிதறுது
Sweet King...
Male: Aah...
Female: Fire upon fire comes
And boils on my forehead
The heart splits into two and shatters
பெண்ணே நீ சிற்றின்ப மானா
இல்லை நீ பேரின்ப தேனா
எங்கெங்கே தொட்டாலும்
அங்கங்கே பூப்பூக்கிறாய் ஹோய்...
Oh girl, are you a deer of worldly pleasure?
Or are you the honey of supreme bliss?
Wherever you touch
Flowers bloom right there... hoi
தினக்கு தீனா.....
Dhinakku dheena...

நான் காலை மாலை ஜாமம் என்று
மூன்று நேரம் உண்ட பின்னும்
இன்பத்துப்பால் சலிக்கவில்லை
என் கண்ணே இதழ் ரசம் புளிக்கவில்லை
Morning, evening, and midnight
Even after partaking thrice
The milk of pleasure does not tire me
My eyes, the nectar of lips does not sour
நான் முடி கொஞ்சம் திருத்தவும்
உடை மாற்றி உடுத்தவும்
இடைவெளி கிடைக்கவில்லை
ஹோய்
உன் கண்ணில் இன்ப வெறி குறையவில்லை
For me to trim my hair a little
Or to change and wear clothes
There is no time gap found
Male: Hoi
Male: The sweet madness in your eyes has not diminished
இன்ப ராணி......
தண்ணி அடித்த பிரம்மன் படைத்த சிலை இது
கன்னி வடிவில் வந்து கலக்கும் அழகிது
Sweet queen...
This is a statue created by a drunk Brahma
It is a striking beauty in the form of a maiden
மன்னா.... முத்தம் தந்தே கொல்வாயா,
என்னை நீ தேடல் செய்வாயா
உன் ஆனந்தம் தீராமல்
நான் தூங்க நாள் இல்லையா ஹோய்...
Oh King... will you kill me with kisses?
Will you search and explore me?
Without your joy coming to an end
Is there no day for me to sleep? Hoi...
தினக்கு தீனா.....
