உன் மீது ஆட
என் விரல் உன் நெஞ்சில் ஓட
மிட்டாய் கடைக்குள் வந்த
எறும்பை போல
நானும் இங்கு உன்னில் ஊர்கிறேன்
ஓட்டு மொத்தமாய்
தித்திக்குறாய் நீ
பூவின் ரத்தமாய்
ஜமூனில் மூனாய்
ஜாமாத்தில் ஆனாய்
To play Candy Crush on you
To let my fingers run on your chest
Like an ant that entered a sweet shop
I too am crawling here on you
Altogether
You are so sweet
Like the nectar of a flower
Dipped deep in gulab jamun
You became my midnight magic...

Sweet hormones surge
Just thinking of you

A chocolate sculpture
Standing and asking for a kiss
சாக்லேட்யில் சிற்பம் ஒன்று
முத்தம் கேட்டு நிற்க்குதென்று
நீ இப்ப என் மீது மொய்க்க
அய்யம் கொள்ளும் ஈயை போல
என்னை பார்க்கிறாய்
என்ன நிற்கிறாய்
வாயை வைக்கத்தான்
நீ துடிக்குறாய்
பால்கோவா லாவா...
ஆஅ....
