இதயம் இதயம் முழுதும் மோகங்கள்
விடியும் வரையில் எரியும் தீபங்கள்
பூமேனி அஞ்சுமோ மயிலிறகில் மஞ்சமோ
சுடுகின்ற பூங்காற்று தேன் சிந்துமோ
The entire heart is filled with intense desire
Lamps that continue to burn until dawn breaks
Will the flower-like tender body fear? Is the bed as soft as peacock feathers?
Will the warm gentle breeze spill sweet nectar?
இதயம் இதயம் முழுதும் மோகங்கள்
விடியும் வரையில் எரியும் தீபங்கள்
பூமேனி அஞ்சுமோ மயிலிறகில் மஞ்சமோ

The entire heart is filled with intense desire
Lamps that continue to burn until dawn breaks
Will the flower-like tender body fear? Is the bed as soft as peacock feathers?
Will the warm gentle breeze spill sweet nectar?
தொட்டவுடன் தோள்களில் சுற்றுகின்ற பூங்கொடி
தேகம் முழுதும் தேமாங்கனி
பத்து விரல் போதுமா பத்து கைகள் வேணுமோ
கரும்பு கரும்பை ருசி பார்க்குமோ
Upon touch, the flowering vine winds around the shoulders
The entire body is a sweet mango fruit
Female: Are ten fingers enough, or are ten hands needed?
Will it taste sugarcane after sugarcane?
நெருக்கம் இருந்து இருட்டில் கிடந்து விளையாடுமே
சுக நினைவினில் பஞ்சணை சூடாகுமே
கனவே தீண்டாதே
லல ஆஅ......ஆ....
கதையை தூண்டாதே
ஆஆ......ஆ......ஆஆ.....

The entire heart is filled with intense desire
Female: Lamps that continue to burn until dawn breaks
Male: Will the flower-like tender body fear?
Female: Is the bed as soft as peacock feathers?
Male: Will the warm gentle breeze spill sweet nectar?
முத்தங்களின் ராகங்கள் சத்தமின்றி கேளுங்கள்
வியர்வை நதியில் நீராடுங்கள்
உன் இதழின் ஓரங்கள் இன்ப மதுச்சாரல்கள்
இரவை நனைக்கும் தேன் மேகங்கள்
Listen silently to the melodies of kisses
Bathe in the river of sweat
The corners of your lips are showers of blissful wine
Honeyed clouds that drench the night
குமுத வண்டுகள் அமுதம் குடிக்கும் சுக ராத்திரி
விடி விளக்குகள் தூங்குமோ என் காதலி
இரவே போகாதே.......
லல லல லா
பகலே வாராதே...
லல லல லா
