My queen of love must come here,
என் காதல் மகராணி வர வேண்டும்
இங்கே இன்பங்கள் ஒரு கோடி தர வேண்டும்
பொன்மேனி என் கைகள்
பொன்மேனி என் கைகள் தொட வேண்டும்
அந்த புதிய சுகம் என்னுயிரை தழுவ வேண்டும்
She must grant ten million joys right here.
My hands upon her golden body,
My hands must touch her golden body,
That new bliss must embrace my soul.
My queen of love must come here,
என் காதல் மகராணி வர வேண்டும்
இங்கே இன்பங்கள் ஒரு கோடி தர வேண்டும்
பொன்மேனி என் கைகள் தொட வேண்டும்
அந்த புதிய சுகம் என்னுயிரை தழுவ வேண்டும்
She must grant ten million joys right here.
My hands must touch her golden body,
That new bliss must embrace my soul.
The goddess of time will come searching for me,
காலமகள் எனைத் தேடி வருவாள்
கனிவோடு எனதாவி தொடுவாள்
நாளையவள் தன்னோடு அழைப்பாள்
என்றுன்னை உறவாடி ரசிப்பேன்
With tenderness she will touch my life force,
Tomorrow she will call me along with her,
Yet today I shall cherish and unite with you.
Before this drama of life comes to an end,
ஜீவ நாடகம் தீர்ந்து போகும் முன்
பாவை உன்னிதழ் பருக துடிக்கிறேன்
என்றோடு என் தாகம் தணியும்
தணியும்.......தணியும்.......தணியும்...
Oh maiden, I yearn to sip from your lips.
When will my thirst be quenched?
Will it be quenched... quenched... quenched...
My queen of love must come here,
என் காதல் மகராணி வர வேண்டும்
இங்கே இன்பங்கள் ஒரு கோடி தர வேண்டும்
பொன்மேனி என் கைகள் தொட வேண்டும்
அந்த புதிய சுகம் என்னுயிரை தழுவ வேண்டும்
She must grant ten million joys right here.
My hands must touch her golden body,
That new bliss must embrace my soul.
The color of her waist sways upon my lap,
மடி மீது இடை வண்ணம் துவளும்
மலராத அரும்பொன்று மலரும்
முடியாத கதையொன்று தொடரும்
விடியாத பொழுதொன்று விடியும்
An unblossomed bud will bloom,
An unfinished story will continue,
A night that never dawns will break into day.
Should I embrace you? Should I forget myself?
உன்னை அணைக்கவா என்னை மறக்கவா
நெஞ்சம் கலக்கவா நினைவை இழக்கவா
Should I stir my heart? Should I lose my memory?
My queen of love must come here,
என் காதல் மகராணி வர வேண்டும்
இங்கே இன்பங்கள் ஒரு கோடி தர வேண்டும்
பொன்மேனி என் கைகள் தொட வேண்டும்
அந்த புதிய சுகம் என்னுயிரை தழுவ வேண்டும்
She must grant ten million joys right here.
My hands must touch her golden body,
That new bliss must embrace my soul.
