With a face like the moon,
This girl is by my side.
When the gentle breeze comes each day
And gives a kiss, it feels like heaven.
When this king of mine
Offers the bed and cuddles lovingly,
Cheek against cheek,
He softly pleads for love.
Even as you come close to me,
Even as you offer sweetness to sip,
Give me a poem on your lips!
Even as I come close to you,
Even as I give you all my beauty,
Give me a heart full of sweetness!
How can there be any separation now? Oh...

Oho... ooo
Oooo... ooooo...
Caressing me gently,
There is a loving heart,
In which, like precious gold,
Joy overflows endlessly.
Her body sparkles
Like pure gold,
And Sangam (classical Tamil literature),
Sangam Tamil flatters it with sweet poetry.
A lullaby upon the bed,
As you listen to it being sung,
As warmth rises and you embrace me, oh...
Your words falter and pause,
My breath longs eagerly,
My heart races and savors it all, oh...
How can there be any separation now? Oh...
Male: What obstacles can there be now? Oh...
