Ask me for whatever you want
Everything is only for you
Aren't you my darling, aren't you my dearest?
Why this anger and annoyance?
Ask me for whatever you want
Everything is only for you
Aren't you my darling, aren't you my dearest?
Why this anger and annoyance?
I have laid out a silk bed
I have sprinkled fresh jasmine flowers
So our bedroom smells sweet and fragrant
I have laid out a silk bed
I have sprinkled fresh jasmine flowers
So our bedroom smells sweet and fragrant
With rosewater and fragrant javvadhu (traditional herbal perfume)
This is the time for us to become one
Until the rooster wakes us in the morning
This sweet intoxication will stay with us
Ask me for whatever you want
Everything is only for you
Aren't you my darling, aren't you my dearest?
Why this anger and annoyance?
I will follow your word and stay by your feet
To thrill my beloved Kannan's heart, oh oh
I will follow your word and stay by your feet
To thrill my beloved Kannan's heart
Music, joy, and playful romance
All celebrate this deep desire
From this longing, sweet sounds will rise
And when those sounds rise, the heart will shiver in delight
Ask me for whatever you want
Everything is only for you
Aren't you my darling, aren't you my dearest?
Why this anger and annoyance?
This little heart is so young and tender
Thinking of you, it keeps burning with longing
This little heart is so young and tender
Thinking of you, it keeps burning with longing
Even with a gentle touch or a slight brush
Desire awakens all on its own
There is sweet milk and there is honey
And I am right here to give you all you desire...
Ask me for whatever you want
Everything is only for you
Aren't you my darling, aren't you my dearest?
Why this anger and annoyance?

Kannalla en kannalla

Trivia

Written by the iconic lyricist Vaali for the 1982 film 'Asthivaram', the song captures the classic early 80s Tamil cinema style of romantic bedchamber solos using traditional olfactory imagery like 'panneer' (rosewater) and 'javvaathu' (civet perfume).
