காதலின் தேசம்
கதவுகள் திறக்கும்
ஆனந்த பறவை
வானத்தை அளக்கும்
In the land of love
The doors will open
A bird of joy
Will measure the vast sky
இதுபோல இன்பம் இல்லையடி
என்னில் உன்னை கண்டுபுடி
வெள்ளி நிலாவில்
கட்டிலைப் போடு
சுகம் எத்தனை வேண்டும்
ஆஹ்....ஆ....
சுகம் விட்டு விடாமல்
பட்டியல் போடு
There is no bliss like this, my dear
Find yourself within me
Oh silver moonlit girl
Female: Set up the bed
How much pleasure do you desire?
Male: Ah... aa...
Female: Without letting pleasure go
Make a list
முத்தமிடாமல்
ஓஹ்ஓ...
சுகம் மொட்டு விடாது
துளி சத்தமில்லாமல் ஜன்னலை மூடு
Without kissing
Male: Oh oo...
Female: Pleasure will not blossom into a bud
Close the window without a sound
ஆண் பெண் மற்றும் குழு :
காதல் என்பது இதுதானா
கண்ணீர் துளியும் சுவைதானா
மனதில் ஈரம் இதுதானா
மாற்றம் தந்தது நீதானா
There is no bliss like this, my dear
Find yourself within me
காதலின் தேசம்
கதவுகள் திறக்கும்
ஆனந்த பறவை
வானத்தை அளக்கும்
With my lips
I will measure your height
In the gleam of your nose-ring
I will pass the night
இதுபோல இன்பம் இல்லையடி
என்னில் உன்னை கண்டுபுடி
If you give me kisses
I will bathe in that moment
I arrived pleasantly
I will yearn throughout the week
உதடுகளால்
உன் உயரத்தை அளப்பேன்
மூக்குத்தி ஒளியில்
இரவினை கடப்பேன்
Without sleeping, in you
I will admire your slumber
In the beauty of your sleep
I will carry dreams
முத்தங்கள் தந்தால்
நேரத்தில் குளிப்பேன்
சுகமாக வந்தேன்
வாரத்தில் தவிப்பேன்
Solitude cannot end in love
Even if you try to wound it
The sky of love will not shatter
உறங்காமல் உன்னில்
உறக்கத்தை ரசிப்பேன்
நீ தூங்கும் அழகில்
கனவுகள் சுமப்பேன்
In the land of love
The doors will open
A bird of joy
Will measure the vast sky
காதலில் தனிமைகள் முடியாது
காயம் செய்து பார்த்தாலும்
காதல் வானம் உடையாது
There is no bliss like this, my dear
Find yourself within me
காதலின் தேசம்
கதவுகள் திறக்கும்
ஆனந்த பறவை
வானத்தை அளக்கும்
................
இதுபோல இன்பம் இல்லையடி
என்னில் உன்னை கண்டுபுடி
Shivering upon touching you
I will admire your womanhood
Yearning as it leaves me
I will admire your saree
....................................
Like the month of Chithirai
I will admire your shyness
Saying 'Chi' in protest
I will admire your playful sulk
உனை தொட்டு சிலிர்க்கும்
பெண்மையை ரசிப்பேன்
எனை விட்டு தவிக்கும்
சேலையை ரசிப்பேன்
Frequently in secrecy
I will admire the embrace
Searching for secrets
I will admire your fingers
சித்திரை மாதம்
வெட்கத்தை ரசிப்பேன்
ச்சீ என சொல்லும்
சினுங்களை ரசிப்பேன்
When both our eyes meet
Will the heart not blossom like a flower?
When both our hands join
Will blood not turn into sweet honey?
அடிக்கடி மறைவில்
அணைப்பதை ரசிப்பேன்
ரகசியம் தேடும்
விரல்களை ரசிப்பேன்
There is no bliss like this, my dear
Find yourself within me
கண்கள் ரெண்டும் சந்தித்தால்
இதயம் பூவாய் ஆகாதோ
கைகள் ரெண்டும்இணைந்தால்
ரத்தம் தேனாய் ஆகாதோ
காதலின் தேசம்
கதவுகள் திறக்கும்
ஆனந்த பறவை
வானத்தை அளக்கும்
இதுபோல இன்பம் இல்லையடி
என்னில் உன்னை கண்டுபுடி
