Oh lover who stole my heart
You must teach me
Oh hero, by touching again and again

It is inside, ho
Your memory, ho oo
Laying down a mattress
You must come close
கள்ளத்தனமாக
கன்னம் வைத்த காதலியே
கிள்ளி தர வேணும்
உள்ளம் என்னும் தாமரையே

You must give a playful touch

காமனுக்கும் மோகம் ஆனதே
The time spent waiting
Has passed away
Even the god of love feels passionate desire
கண்ட கனவோ காதலா
காதல் தலைவா தூவலா
Was it a dream I saw, my lover?
Oh lord of love, soft feather?
