The land of love
will open its doors.
The bird of joy
will soar across the sky.
There is no joy like this, my girl.
Find yourself in me.
In the silver moonlight,
Female: Lay out the bed.
How much pleasure do you want?
Male: Ah... ah...
Female: Without missing any pleasure,
make a list.
Without a kiss,
Male: Oh oo...
Female: pleasure will not blossom.
Close the window without making a sound.
There is no joy like this, my girl.
Find yourself in me.
With my lips,
I will measure your height.
In the glow of your nose stud,
I will cross through the night.
If you give me kisses,
I will bathe in that moment.
I arrived happily,
and I will yearn through the week.
Staying awake,
I will admire you as you sleep.
In the beauty of your sleep,
I will carry dreams.
In love, loneliness cannot remain.
Even if you try to wound it,
the sky of love will never break.
The land of love
will open its doors.
The bird of joy
will soar across the sky.
There is no joy like this, my girl.
Find yourself in me.
...
Shivering at my touch,
I will admire your soft charm.
Longing as it slips away from me,
I will admire your saree.
In the warm month of Chithirai (mid-April to mid-May),
I will admire your blushing shyness.
Saying "Chi!" in playful protest,
I will admire your cute teasing sulks.
Often in secret,
I will admire holding you close.
Searching for secrets,
I will admire your wandering fingers.
Now that our eyes have met,
won't the heart blossom like a flower?
When our hands join together,
won't our blood turn sweet like honey?
There is no joy like this, my girl.
Find yourself in me.
