காதல் ஒரு விழியில்
உன்னை காண என் நெஞ்சம் உறையும்
காமம் ஒரு விழியில்
உன்னை காண என் தேகம் கரையும்
Love in one eye,
To see you, my heart freezes.
Lust in the other eye,
To see you, my body melts.
காதில் இதழ் வைத்து
உன் ஆசை நீ கூறினாலே
பார்வை மழையாலே
என் மார்பில் நீ தூறவே
Placing your lips on my ear,
If you speak your desire,
With a shower of your gaze,
Drizzle upon my chest.
நெருப்பினில் நனைந்திடுவேனா
உன் அனைபினில் எரிந்திடுவேனா
சிறகுகள் விரிதிடுவேனா
அந்த வானில் காதல் புரிய
Shall I get drenched in fire?
Shall I burn up in your embrace?
Shall I spread my tiny wings,
To make love in that sky?
உரசலே உடல்களின் கோடை
உன் விரல் தொட விலகுது ஆடை
இரவிது விரகத்தின் மேடை
அதில் நீயும் நானும் எரிய
Friction is the summer of bodies,
As your finger touches, clothes slip away.
This night is a stage of longing,
For you and me to burn upon.
நடு முதுகினில் ஊர்ந்து போகும்
உனதொரு விரல் எங்கு நகரும்
உன் பயணத்தில் தொலைதேன் நானே
என்னை நானே தேடுகிறேன்
Crawling along the middle of my back,
Where is that single finger of yours moving?
I lost myself in your journey,
And now I am searching for myself.
உனதிதழ்களின் பாதங்கள்
என் மேனியில் நீ வைத்து செல்ல
வழி தொடர்ந்திட பார்க்கிறேன்
என் இதயத்தில் முடிந்ததே
The footsteps of your lips,
As you press them across my body,
I try to follow that path,
Only to find it ended in my heart.
நெருப்பினில் நனைதிடுவேனா
உன் அணைப்பினில் எரிந்துடுவேனா
சிறகுகள் விரித்திடுவேனா
அந்த வானில் காதல் புரிய
Shall I get drenched in fire?
Shall I burn up in your embrace?
Shall I spread my tiny wings,
To make love in that sky?
பாலில் விழும் தேனை போல
காற்றில் விழும் ஓசை போல
நீரில் விழும் வானம் போல
நீ என்னுள் விழுந்துவிடு
Like honey falling into milk,
Like sound falling into the air,
Like color falling into water,
Fall inside of me.
எதுவரை வழி தாங்குவேன்
உன் ஆண்மையயை
நான் கேள்வி கேட்க்க
விடையளித்திட போகிறாய்
நீ கூறினால் என்ன ஆகுவேன்
How long will I endure this path of pain?
As I question your masculinity,
You are about to provide the answer,
What will become of me if you speak?
உரசலே உடல்களின் கோடை
உன் விரல் தொட விலகுது ஆடை
இரவிது விரகத்தின் மேடை
அதில் நீயும் நானும் எரிய
Friction is the summer of bodies,
As your finger touches, clothes slip away.
This night is a stage of longing,
For you and me to burn upon.
காதல் ஒரு விழியில்
உன்னை காண என் நெஞ்சம் உறையும்
காமம் ஒரு விழியில்

Kaadhal oru vizhiyil
Love in one eye,
Unai kaana en nenjam uraiyum
To see you, my heart freezes.
Kaamam oru vizhiyil
Lust in the other eye,
Unai kaana en dhegam karaiyum
To see you, my body melts.
Kaadhil idhazhvaithu
Placing your lips on my ear,
Un aasai nee koorinaalae
If you speak your desire,
Paarvai mazhaiyaalae
With a shower of your gaze,
En maarbil nee thooravae
Drizzle upon my chest.
Neruppinil nanaindhiduvena
Shall I get drenched in fire?
Un anaippinil erindhiduvena
Shall I burn up in your embrace?
Sirugugal virithiduvena
Shall I spread my tiny wings,
Andha vaanil kaadhal puriya
To make love in that sky?
Urasalae udalgalin kodai
Friction is the summer of bodies,
Un viral thoda vilagudhu aadai
As your finger touches, clothes slip away.
Iravidhu viragathin medai
This night is a stage of longing,
Adhil neeyum naanum eriya
For you and me to burn upon.
Nadumudhuginil oorndhu pogum
Crawling along the middle of my back,
Unadhoru viral engu nagarum
Where is that single finger of yours moving?
Un payanathil tholaidhen naanae
I lost myself in your journey,
Ennai naanae thedugiren
And now I am searching for myself.
Unadhidhazhgalin paadhangal
The footsteps of your lips,
En meniyil nee vaithu chella
As you press them across my body,
Vazhi thodarnthida paarkkiren
I try to follow that path,
En idhayathil mudinthathae
Only to find it ended in my heart.
Neruppinil nanaindhiduvena
Shall I get drenched in fire?
Un anaippinil erindhiduvena
Shall I burn up in your embrace?
Sirugugal virithiduvena
Shall I spread my tiny wings,
Andha vaanil kaadhal puriya
To make love in that sky?
Paalil vizhum theanai pola
Like honey falling into milk,
Kaatril vizhum osai pola
Like sound falling into the air,
Neeril vizhum vannam pola
Like color falling into water,
Nee ennul vizhunthuvidu
Fall inside of me.
Edhuvarai vazhi thaanguven
How long will I endure this path of pain?
Un aanmaiyai naan kelvi ketka
As I question your masculinity,
Vidai alithida pogiraai
You are about to provide the answer,
Nee koorinaal ennaaguven
What will become of me if you speak?
Urasalae udalgalin kodai
Friction is the summer of bodies,
Un viral thoda vilagudhu aadai
As your finger touches, clothes slip away.
Iravidhu viragathin medai
This night is a stage of longing,
Adhil neeyum naanum eriya
For you and me to burn upon.
Kaadhal oru vizhiyil
Love in one eye,
Unai kaana en nenjam uraiyum
To see you, my heart freezes.
Kaamam oru vizhiyil
Lust in the other eye,
Unai kaana en dhegam karaiyum
To see you, my body melts.
