What should I do, oh what should I do,
as we slowly make love?
Female: As your eyes move and my eyes flutter,
you have arrived to take me captive.
With your eyes, you mark a dot and gather me in,
you push me away, tease me playfully, and pinch me.
Female: Right now, at this very moment,
you and I will become one.
...
Inside the eyes, inside the eyes,
steps of love are built... oh!
On the cheeks, on the cheeks,
kisses are carved like stone inscriptions.
Deep in the heart, hey, deep in the heart,
explorations of desire, hoo!
Inside this girl, inside this girl,
colorful exhibitions unfold.
We merged as one—whose shadow is this?
We made sweet music—whose lips are these?
Male: My wandering fingers,
your toes trace and draw upon.
O wonderful man,
the one who became my very desire!
From you, only from you,
will I learn it all.
What should I do, oh what should I do,
as we slowly make love?
Female: As your eyes move and my eyes flutter,
you have arrived to take me captive.
Wonderfully, so wonderfully,
you wage a battle of desire.
And then, and then,
why do you make a sound?
Like a painting, like a painting,
you created me... oh!
Carefully and gently,
you lit a fire inside this girl.
Softly, you drifted in and collided,
tenderly, you stroked my eyelashes.
Female: You covered me with your body,
you hungered for me like a feast.
My love, your heart
danced like Kathakali (expressive classical dance).
Is the reason, could the reason be
my youthful age?
What should I do, oh what should I do,
as we slowly make love?
Female: As your eyes move and my eyes flutter,
you have arrived to take me captive.
With your eyes, you mark a dot and gather me in,
you push me away, tease me playfully, and pinch me.
Female: Right now, at this very moment,
you and I will become one.

“Muththa kalvettugal”

Kisses are metaphorically described as 'kalvettugal' (ancient stone inscriptions), implying that the affection leaves an indelible, permanent mark.

Metaphor (Uruvagam)

“Aasai por seigiraai”

Desire is compared to a 'por' (war), expressing the intense and overwhelming playfulness between the lovers.

Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)

“Udalaal enai moodinaai / Unavaai enai thedinaai”

The initial letter 'U' in both 'Udalaal' and 'Unavaai' forms a Monai, adding musical structure to the stanza.
