இதோ மழைத்துளி
இதோ மலர்க்கொடி
வான் மேகம்
வான் மேகம் நான்தானே
பருவ தாகம்... தணியலாம்
விரகதாபம் கொஞ்சம் குறையலாம்...
Here is a raindrop
Here is a flowering creeper
Sky cloud...
I am indeed the sky cloud
Youthful thirst... can be quenched
The agony of longing can be reduced a little
இதோ மலர்க்கொடி
இதோ மழைத்துளி....
Here is a flowering creeper
Here is a raindrop
ஆடை சூடும்....
குக்குக்குக்கூ
ஆசை மேனி.....
குக்குக்குக்கூ
மேலும் கீழும்.....
தித்தித்திட
மீண்டும் மீண்டும்
தேவைப்படும்
Wearing clothes...
Female: Cuckoo call
Male: Desirous body...
Female: Cuckoo call
Male: Top to bottom
Female: To become sweet
Male: Again and again
Female: Will be needed
தேன் தரும் பாத்திரம்
நான் தொட மாத்திரம்
A vessel offering honey
Just as I touch
ஏனிந்த ஆத்திரம்
நான் தரும் நாள் வரும்
Why this urgency?
The day I offer will come
தனியறையில் அள்ளி தரும் வரையில்
உள்ளம் தவிக்குது துடிக்கிது கிளியே...
Until it is gathered and given in a private room
My heart yearns and throbs, my dear parrot
இதோ மலர்க்கொடி
இதோ மழைத்துளி...
Here is a flowering creeper
Here is a raindrop
மூங்கில் மேலே.....
குக்குக்குக்கூ
வாடைக் காற்று......
குக்குக்குக்கூ
மோதும் போது
ஓசை வரும்
போகப் போக
ஆசை வரும்
Upon the bamboo
Male: Cuckoo call
Female: The chilly northern wind
Male: Cuckoo call
Female: When it blows against
Male: A sound emanates
Female: As time progresses
Male: Desire arises
நீ தொட நான் தொட
பூவுடல் தான் சுட
As you touch and I touch
The flower-like body heats up
ஆதியும் அந்தமும்
ஆடவன் கைப்பட
From beginning to end
Touched by the man's hands
அதிசயமோ புது அனுபவமோ
இது முதல் முதல் அறிந்திடும் சுகமோ
Is it a wonder or a new experience?
Is this the pleasure experienced for the very first time?
இதோ மழைத்துளி

Here is a raindrop
Here is a flowering creeper
Female: Sky cloud...
You are indeed the sky cloud
Youthful thirst... can be quenched

Metaphor (Uruvam)
“Idho mazhai thuli / Idho malar kodi”
'Malar kodi' (flowering creeper) and 'Mazhai thuli' (raindrop) metaphorically symbolize the woman and man respectively, while 'Thaen tharum paathiram' (vessel offering honey) represents the woman's sweet embrace.
Onomatopoeia / Nature Echoes
“Female :Kukukooo”
'Kukukooo' imitates the sound of a cuckoo, enhancing the lush, natural, and sensory atmosphere of the duet.
Rhyme and Alliteration (Monai / Edhugai)
“Nee thoda naan thoda”
The repetition of 'thoda' and parallel phrasing ('Nee thoda naan thoda', 'Poovudal thaan suda') creates rhythmic, euphonic melody characteristic of Vaali's lyricism.
