என்னென்ன வேணுமின்னு கேளுங்க
எல்லாமே உங்களுக்கு தானுங்க
கண்ணல்ல என் கண்ணல்ல
கோபதாபம் ஏனுங்க......
Ask me whatever you want,
Everything is meant only for you.
My precious darling, my dear eyes,
Why all this anger and rage?
என்னென்ன வேணுமின்னு கேளுங்க
எல்லாமே உங்களுக்கு தானுங்க
கண்ணல்ல என் கண்ணல்ல
கோபதாபம் ஏனுங்க......
Ask me whatever you want,
Everything is meant only for you.
My precious darling, my dear eyes,
Why all this anger and rage?
பட்டு மெத்தை விரிச்சேன்
மல்லிகையை தெளிச்சேன்
பள்ளியறை மணமணக்க
பட்டு மெத்தை விரிச்சேன்
மல்லிகையை தெளிச்சேன்
பள்ளியறை மணமணக்க
I have spread a silk mattress,
I have scattered jasmine blossoms,
To make the bedchamber fragrant.
I have spread a silk mattress,
I have scattered jasmine blossoms,
To make the bedchamber fragrant.
பன்னீரும் ஜவ்வாதும்
ஒன்னோடு ஒண்ணாகும் நேரம்தான்
கோழி எழுப்பும் காலை வரைக்கும்
கூட இருக்கும் இந்த மயக்கம்
Rosewater and civet scent,
Now is the moment they blend as one,
Until the morning rooster crows,
This intoxication will remain with us.
என்னென்ன வேணுமின்னு கேளுங்க
எல்லாமே உங்களுக்கு தானுங்க
கண்ணல்ல என் கண்ணல்ல
கோபதாபம் ஏனுங்க......
Ask me whatever you want,
Everything is meant only for you.
My precious darling, my dear eyes,
Why all this anger and rage?
கட்டுப்பட்டு நடப்பேன் காலடியில் கிடப்பேன்
கண்ணன் மனம் கிளுகிளுக்க ஓஹோ ஓஹோ
கட்டுப்பட்டு நடப்பேன் காலடியில் கிடப்பேன்
கண்ணன் மனம் கிளுகிளுக்க
I will obey you and lie at your feet,
To make Kannan's heart jingle with joy, oho oho,
I will obey you and lie at your feet,
To make Kannan's heart jingle with joy.
சங்கீதம் சந்தோசம் சல்லாபம்
கொண்டாடும் ஆசைதான்
ஆசை வழியே ஓசை பிறக்கும்
ஓசை பிறந்தால் உள்ளம் சிலிர்க்கும்
Music, happiness, and intimate lovemaking,
It is a desire to celebrate all these;
Through desire, sweet sound is born,
When sound is born, the heart shivers with delight.
என்னென்ன வேணுமின்னு கேளுங்க
எல்லாமே உங்களுக்கு தானுங்க
கண்ணல்ல என் கண்ணல்ல
கோபதாபம் ஏனுங்க......
Ask me whatever you want,
Everything is meant only for you.
My precious darling, my dear eyes,
Why all this anger and rage?
சின்ன சின்ன மனசு ரொம்ப ரொம்ப இளசு
எண்ணி எண்ணி கொதிச்சிருக்கு
சின்ன சின்ன மனசு ரொம்ப ரொம்ப இளசு
எண்ணி எண்ணி கொதிச்சிருக்கு
My small heart is very young and tender,
It simmers constantly with thoughts of you;
My small heart is very young and tender,
It simmers constantly with thoughts of you.
தொட்டாலும் பட்டாலும்
தன்னாலே உண்டாகும் மோகம்தான்
பாலும் இருக்க தேனும் இருக்க
நாலும் கொடுக்க நானும் இருக்க.......
With a mere touch or feeling,
Passion arises all on its own.
When there is milk and honey,
And I am here to give it every day...
என்னென்ன வேணுமின்னு கேளுங்க
எல்லாமே உங்களுக்கு தானுங்க
கண்ணல்ல என் கண்ணல்ல
கோபதாபம் ஏனுங்க......
