இது வரையில் முதல் இரவு கனவுகளில்தான்
இனி மலரும் பல இரவு உறவுகளில்தான்
ஆசைக்கு அர்த்தம் சொல்லும் நாள் வந்தது
நான் கேட்ட மாலை இன்று தோள் வந்தது
கல்யாணப் பாடல் சொல்ல வா.....

ஆகாய மேகமே நீர் விட்டது
ஆனந்தம் பூமியில் வேர் விட்டது

கொடியோடு யாவும் மடி கண்டது
The sky's cloud has showered its rain
Female: Happiness has taken root deep in the earth
Male: The vine has borne fruit alongside the flowers
Female: Everything has found solace in the warmth of the lap
மடியில் வரவும் ஒரு மின்னல் பாய்ந்தது

ஆரம்பமானது ஆலிங்கனம்
அது இந்தக் காதலில் ஆலாபனம்
ஏகாந்த நேரம் ராஜாங்கமோ
ஏன் இந்த நாணம் பூர்வாங்கமோ
An embrace has commenced
Male: That is an musical elaboration in this love
Female: Is this secluded moment a royal kingdom?
Male: Why this shyness, is it the overture?
உதடும் உதடும் ஒரு சந்தம் பாடுது
ஆண் : லலலா லலலா லல லலா
உற்சாக கங்கை ஒன்று பாயாதோ
Lips joining lips are singing a poetic rhythm
Male: Lalala lalala lalalala laalaalala
Is a river Ganges of excitement flowing?
இது வரையில் முதல் இரவு கனவுகளில்தான்
இனி மலரும் பல இரவு உறவுகளில்தான்
ஆசைக்கு அர்த்தம் சொல்லும் நாள் வந்தது
நான் கேட்ட மாலை இன்று தோள் வந்தது
