என்னை பாராட்டு நான் ஏமாற...
Unable to resist this passion, I am changing,
Praise me, so that I may lose myself in love...

பூக்கள் தாலாட்டும் பொன்னான பாவை
என்னை சூடாக்கும் ஈரப்பார்வை
பாதி கண் கொண்டு பார்த்தாள் பூவை
உந்தன் நோய் தீர ஏதோ தேவை.....
A golden maiden whom even flowers rock to sleep,
Her moist, tender glance warms me up!

Something is needed to cure your affliction....
