காதலிக்க கற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள்
என் அழகினிலே என் விழிகளிலே
Learn to love
In my beauty, in my eyes
காதலிக்க சொல்லும் வண்ணங்கள்
உன் மலர்களிலே உன் இதழ்களிலே
Colors that tell how to love
In your flowers, in your lips
காதலிக்க கற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள்
என் அழகினிலே என் விழிகளிலே
Learn to love
In my beauty, in my eyes
வைரம் போலும் நட்சத்திரங்கள்
வாரி வைத்த கன்னம் ரெண்டும்
கண்ணாடி போல் ஆடுது
Stars like diamonds
Both cheeks gathered and placed
Dances like a mirror
வட்டம் போடும் மொட்டு பூவை
திட்டம் போட்டு தொட்டுப் பார்த்தால்
ஏன் என்று யார் கேட்பது
The budding flower making circles
If touched with a plan
Who is there to ask why?
உன் மலர்களிலே உன் இதழ்களிலே
என் அழகினிலே என் விழிகளிலே
In your flowers, in your lips
Female: In my beauty, in my eyes
காதலிக்க சொல்லும் வண்ணங்கள்
உன் மலர்களிலே உன் இதழ்களிலே
Colors that tell how to love
In your flowers, in your lips
காதலிக்க கற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள்
என் அழகினிலே என் விழிகளிலே
Learn to love
In my beauty, in my eyes
வெட்கம் அங்கே வேகம் இங்கே
கட்டிக் கொண்டால் அச்சம் எங்கே
அறியாத முகமா இது
Shyness is there, urgency is here
If we embrace, where is the fear?
Is this an unknown face?
எங்கே எந்தன் நெஞ்சம் உண்டோ
அங்கே உந்தன் மஞ்சம் உண்டு
கனியாத உறவா இது
Wherever my heart is
There your bed is
Is this an unripe relationship?
உன் மலர்களிலே உன் இதழ்களிலே
என் அழகினிலே என் விழிகளிலே
In your flowers, in your lips
Female: In my beauty, in my eyes
காதலிக்க கற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள்
என் அழகினிலே என் விழிகளிலே
காதலிக்க சொல்லும் வண்ணங்கள்
உன் மலர்களிலே உன் இதழ்களிலே
Colors that tell how to love
In your flowers, in your lips
Learn to love
In my beauty, in my eyes
கண்கள் என்னும் பள்ளிக்கூடம்
பெண்மை சொல்லும் இன்ப பாடம்
எனக்காக உருவானதோ....
Male: Colors that tell how to love
In your flowers, in your lips
The school called eyes
கட்டித் தங்கம் மின்னும் அங்கம்
காலம் யாவும் காதல் சங்கம்
பிரிவேது நம் வாழ்விலே
The pleasant lesson taught by womanhood
Was it created just for me?
Body shining like solid gold
உன் மலர்களிலே உன் இதழ்களிலே
என் அழகினிலே என் விழிகளிலே
A union of love for all time
Where is separation in our lives?
காதலிக்க சொல்லும் வண்ணங்கள்
உன் மலர்களிலே உன் இதழ்களிலே
காதலிக்க கற்றுக்கொள்ளுங்கள்
என் அழகினிலே என் விழிகளிலே
In your flowers, in your lips
Female: In my beauty, in my eyes
Colors that tell how to love
In your flowers, in your lips
