Oh little white moon
Touch my chest, embrace me

நிலாவே நீங்கிடாதே
அழகு மகள் மேனியில் கண்டேன்
வாச தாமரை அங்கம் அங்கம்
தாமரையே தலையணை ஆனால்
சாய்ந்து கொள்ளுவேன் நான் கொஞ்சம்
உன் பாதம் பரவிய பாதையில் எல்லாம்
எந்தன் ஆவியே தங்கும் தங்கும்
Oh moon... do not leave
I beheld on the form of this beautiful maiden
Fragrant lotus blossoms in every limb
If the lotus becomes my pillow
I shall lean and rest for a while
On every path where your feet have walked
My very soul shall linger and abide

Doesn't the flood waters know
Where the lowlands lie?
Don't the hands know
Where pleasure lies?
பள்ளம் எங்கே உள்ளது என்று
வெள்ளம் அறியாதா
இன்பம் எங்கே உள்ளது என்று
கைகள் அறியாதா
Oh my, what has come over this girl?
Does she have no desires?
Even while embracing
Won't she gather and blossom?
ஹையோ இந்த பெண்ணுக்கு என்ன
ஆசை கிடையாதா
ஆளிங்கனம் செய்திடும் போதே
அள்ளி உடையாதா
Aren't you my stage?
Aren't I your garment?
Female: Electricity surges through the heart
Closing my eyes and leaning in
Isn't this the day our hands join?
Male: Today, you and I become one, dear girl
Come, object of my solitude
நீ எந்தன் மேடை அல்லவா
நான் உந்தன் ஆடை அல்லவா
நெஞ்சோடு மின்சாரம் பாய்ந்து
கண்மூடி சாய்ந்து
கை சேரும் நாள் அல்லவா
நீயும் நானும் இன்று அடி ஒன்று

My love, unless you provoke me
I will not touch you
If a single wick lights inside me, that is enough
I will not let you go
அன்பே என்னை தூண்டினால் அன்றி
உன்னை தொடமாட்டேன்
என்னுள் ஒரு திரி பற்றினால் போதும்
உன்னை விடமாட்டேன்
I will hold you in the palm of my hand
I will not leave you on the ground
Even if the moon falls from the sky
I will not let you go
உள்ளங்கையில் உன்னை எடுப்பேன்
மண்ணில் விடமாட்டேன்
விண்ணில் நிலா விழுந்திடும் போதும்
உன்னை விடமாட்டேன்
At your touch, I freeze
In your kiss, I melt away
Male: My love, for me to play traditional word-games
And swing on a golden swing
Will you lend me your long tresses?
Female: Every day with your lips
Would you refuse to play?
தொட்டாலே உறைந்து போகிறேன்
முத்தத்தில் கரைந்து போகிறேன்
அன்பே நான் அம்மானை பாட

ஆடிட மறுப்பாயா
