O chariots of nature!
O minds that forget the world!
Towards a place that is sweet every day,
Let us fly... why...
Let us mingle, let us relish!
இயற்க்கை ரதங்களே
உலகை மறக்கும் மனங்களே
தினம் இனிப்பதான இடத்தை நோக்கி
பறக்க விடுங்களேன்......ஏன்
கலக்க விடுங்களேன் சுவைக்க விடுங்களேன்
O chariots of nature!
O minds that forget the world!
Towards a place that is sweet every day,
Let us fly... why...
Let us mingle, let us relish!
இயற்க்கை ரதங்களே
உலகை மறக்கும் மனங்களே
தினம் இனிப்பதான இடத்தை நோக்கி
பறக்க விடுங்களேன்......ஏன்
கலக்க விடுங்களேன் சுவைக்க விடுங்களேன்
Beautiful flower bed,
A confluence of gems upon it,
A decorative pattern of bliss,
Playing in the ocean of wine,
Singing the music of Cupid,
This swooning world belongs to us.
அழகான மலர் மஞ்சமே
அதன் மீது மணிச்சங்கமே
ஆனந்த திருக்கோலமே
மதுக்கடல் விளையாடி
மாறனின் இசை பாடி
மயங்கும் உலகம் நமது சொந்தம்
O chariots of nature!
O minds that forget the world!
Towards a place that is sweet every day,
Let us fly... why...
Let us mingle, let us relish!
இயற்க்கை ரதங்களே
உலகை மறக்கும் மனங்களே
தினம் இனிப்பதான இடத்தை நோக்கி

Small canopy of red banana leaves,
Gentle breeze pampering us,
Honey from sweet red fruit-like lips,
Swimming through the night, absolute peaceful bliss,
We will unite, we will yield, we will never part.
செவ்வாழை திருப்பந்தலே
சீராட்டும் இளந்தென்றலே
செங்கனி வாய் தேனிலே
இரவினிலே நீந்தி ஏகமும் சுக சாந்தி
இணைவோம் கனிவோம் பிரிவதில்லை
O chariots of nature!
O minds that forget the world!
Towards a place that is sweet every day,
Let us fly... why...
Let us mingle, let us relish!
இயற்க்கை ரதங்களே
உலகை மறக்கும் மனங்களே
தினம் இனிப்பதான இடத்தை நோக்கி
பறக்க விடுங்களேன்......ஏன்
கலக்க விடுங்களேன் சுவைக்க விடுங்களேன்
Auspicious and pleasing musical melody,
A silent drama played through eyes,
A thousand moments until the morning comes,
Male: Merging into one from two,
As pleasures shower like rain,
கல்யாண சுக மோகனம்
கண்ணாடி அறை நாடகம்
காலை வரை ஆயிரம்.....
இரண்டினில் ஒன்றாக
இன்பங்கள் மழையாக
My beloved,
Male: My darling,
Both: Let us read our story!
