உன் மேனிதான் பொன்வீணையோ
நான் மீட்ட வரவோ
நீ மீட்டவே என் மேனியை
உன் கையில் தரவோ
Is your body a golden Veena?
Should I come to play it?
Female: Will you play my body?
Should I place it in your hands?
நீ பொங்கி வரும் கங்கை நதி
என் மஞ்சம் வரும் சிந்து நதி
நீ மெல்ல வந்து என்னைத்தொட
என் சேலை கொஞ்சம் வெட்கம் விட
இதழ் வெளுக்கும் உடல் சிலிர்க்கும்
அந்த மயக்கம் நமை தினம் அழைக்கும்
You are the overflowing Ganges river
My bed-bound river is the Sindhu
Female: As you gently come and touch me
My saree sheds its shyness a little
Male: Lips turn pale, the body goosebumps
That intoxication summons us daily

பொன் மாலையில் பூச்சூடுவேன்
உன் தோளில் விழுவேன்
தாய் போலவே நாள்தோறுமே
தாலாட்ட வருவேன்
I will adorn flowers in the golden evening
I will fall onto your shoulders
Male: Like a mother, every single day
I will come to sing a lullaby
நீ சொல்லித்தரும் பள்ளியில் நான்
அதிகாலை வரை மாணவிதான்
நான் உன் மடியில் பிள்ளையடி
நீ அள்ளிதரும் வள்ளலடி
உயிர் உடலில் உள்ள வரைக்கும்
இந்த நெருக்கம் என்றும் தொடர்ந்திருக்கும்
In the school of love taught by you
I am a student until early dawn
Male: I am a child on your lap
You are the philanthropist who gives generously
Female: As long as soul remains in body
This closeness will continue forever
