காதல் ஆசை போதையூட்டும் காதல்
காதல் ஆசை போதையூட்டும் காதல்
எங்கே இன்பம் சொல்லவோ
அது திராட்சை ரசத்திலே
பெண்ணே சொர்க்கம் அல்லவோ
இந்த வாழ்க்கை சுகத்திலே அனுபவி........
Love and desire bring intoxicating love
Love and desire bring intoxicating love
Shall I tell you where happiness lies?
It lies in the juice of grapes
Oh girl, isn't it heaven itself?
Enjoy this life in all its pleasure
காதல் ஆசை போதையூட்டும் காதல்
Love and desire bring intoxicating love
.............................
இனிய பாடல் உண்டு கையிலே
நான் பாடிடும் வானம்பாடி
இரவு நேரம் அந்த மார்பிலே
நான் ஆடுவேன் உன்னைத் தேடி
There is a sweet song in hand
I am a skylark that sings
During nighttime upon that chest
I will dance searching for you
கண்ணோட்டமா வெள்ளோட்டமா
பள்ளிப்பாடம் வேண்டுமா
அதை இங்கே பாருங்கள்
பாவை மேனி மோகமா
சுவை இங்கே காணுங்கள் அனுபவி.......
Is it a tender glance or a trial run?
Do you need a lesson from school?
Look at that right here
Is the maiden's body filled with passion?
Experience the taste right here, enjoy...
காதல் ஆசை போதையூட்டும் காதல்...
Love and desire bring intoxicating love
.............................
அழகு மீட்டும் இந்த ராகமே
நீ கேட்கலாம் கேள்வி இல்லை
அடிமைபோல என்னை எண்ணலாம்
நீ பார்க்கலாம் வேலி இல்லை
This melody played by beauty
You can listen, no questions asked
You can treat me like a slave
You can watch, there is no boundary
சம்சாரமா சன்யாசமா
முத்து தோட்டம் மோகனம்
அது முன்னால் வந்தாட
முள்ளில்லாத பூங்கொடி
அது கண்ணால் பந்தாட அனுபவி....
Is it domestic life or renunciation?
A beautiful pearl garden
When it comes before you to dance
A flowering creeper without thorns
When it plays ball with its eyes, enjoy...
காதல் ஆசை போதையூட்டும் காதல்...
காதல் ஆசை போதையூட்டும் காதல்...
Love and desire bring intoxicating love...
Love and desire bring intoxicating love...
Kadhal aasai bodhaiyoottum kadhal
Love and desire bring intoxicating love
Kadhal aasai bodhaiyoottum kadhal
Love and desire bring intoxicating love
Engae inbam sollavo
Shall I tell you where happiness lies?
