Tell me a story, my darling
Female: ...
What story is better than me, my love?
Male: ...
A young girl's gentle melody sings
Female: My eyes too will sing a line
Tell me a story, my darling
Female: ...
What story is better than me, my love?
Male: ...
The way this saree pallu sways in the wind,
isn't it really searching for me?
Aaha oho la la
A blooming body rejoices,
only when the honeybee hovers over it!
Aaha hehe ahha
All over a woman's body
lie hidden secret treasures
And the games her lover plays
are stages of pure joy
Tell me a story, my love
Male: ...
What story is better than me, my darling?
Female: ...
My slender waist and radiant face,
come here and place your hands on them!
Aaha hehe aaha
Like milk flowing over ripe red pomegranates,
give me your rosy lips here!
Aaha eho lalala
If what I gave feels like too little,
hold me close as much as your heart desires!
Without missing a single beat,
sing along in sweet Tamil...
Tell me a story, my darling
Female: ...
What story is better than me, my love?
Male: ...
You are my swan, and your soft cheeks
are bowls of honey for me to enjoy!
Aaha oho la la
All my beauty belongs to you,
for you to play with just as you wish!
Aaha hehe aaha
Like the pleasure of a woman's embrace,
no other joy can ever compare
Let youthful sixteen seek all its joys,
and let history witness it!
Tell me a story, my darling
Female: ...
What story is better than me, my love?

A young girl's gentle melody sings
Female: My eyes too will sing a line
