நிலவு உருகுதே
குளிரும் எரியுதே
தினவு என்னைத் தீண்ட
இமைகள் மூடுதே
The moon is melting
Even the cold burns
An itch of desire touches me
My eyelids close
நிலவு உருகுதே
குளிரும் எரியுதே
தினவு என்னைத் தீண்ட
இமைகள் மூடுதே
The moon is melting
Even the cold burns
An itch of desire touches me
My eyelids close
அலை மோதி கரையேற
இது தான் இணைவின் சுகமே
விரல் தேட உடல் வேக
இது தான் இறையின் மடியோ
As waves crash to reach the shore
Is this the pleasure of union?
As fingers search and the body burns
Is this the lap of God?
நிலவு உருகுதே
குளிரும் எரியுதே
தினவு என்னைத் தீண்ட
இமைகள் மூடுதே
The moon is melting
Even the cold burns
An itch of desire touches me
My eyelids close
தேகம் வளைந்திட ஆடை நழுவிட
வெட்கத்தை தேடுகிறேன்
மோகம் வளர்ந்திட ஆசை அலைந்திட
முத்தத்தில் தோற்கிறேன்
As the body bends
As clothes slip away
I search for my shyness
As lust grows
As desires wander
I surrender in a kiss
என்ன ரோதனை சுக வேதனை
இந்த தீயை யார் வந்து அணைப்பார்
பட்டு மேனியில் மொட்டு விரிந்திட
இந்த பூவை யார் வந்து பறிப்பார்
What agony this is!
A sweet pain
This fire...
Who will come to extinguish it?
நிலவு உருகுதே
குளிரும் எரியுதே
தினவு என்னைத் தீண்ட
இமைகள் மூடுதே
On a silken body
As a bud blossoms
This flower...
Who will come to pluck it?
பச்சைமொழி என்னை
கிச்சுக்கிச்சு மூட்ட
சத்தத்தில் சிரிக்கிறேன்
இச்சை வழி தேடி மிச்சம் மிச்சமின்றி
உச்சத்தை அடைகிறேன்
The moon is melting
Even the cold burns
An itch of desire touches me
My eyelids close
இந்த காமம் என்ன ஆழ்கடலோ
யார் வந்து முத்துக் குளிப்பார்
இந்த காதல் என்ன பெரும் வனமோ
யார் நடந்து கடப்பார்
Raw words of romance
Tickling me softly
I laugh out loud
Seeking the path of longing
Without leaving anything behind
I reach the ultimate peak
நிலவு உருகுதே
குளிரும் எரியுதே
தினவு என்னைத் தீண்ட
இமைகள் மூடுதே
Is this lust...
A deep ocean?
Who will come to bathe in it?
Is this love...
A vast forest?
Who will walk across it?
அலை மோதி கரையேற
இது தான் இணைவின் சுகமே
விரல் தேட உடல் வேக
இது தான் இறையின் மடியோ
The moon is melting
Even the cold burns
An itch of desire touches me
My eyelids close
நிலவு உருகுதே
குளிரும் எரியுதே
தினவு என்னைத் தீண்ட
இமைகள் மூடுதே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Nilavu Uruguthae is a highly evocative and sensual song that explores the intoxicating power of physical intimacy and deep desire. The song captures the narrator's sensory experience during moments of passion, where paradoxes like burning coldness and sweet agony blend into a transcendent state of bliss. Physical love is elevated to a realm akin to divine union, comparing the intimacy of touch to finding rest in the lap of God. As the lyrics progress, the song ponders the boundless depth of lust and love, metaphorically describing them as a deep ocean and a vast forest. Through vivid imagery of slipping clothes, gentle tickles, and blooming flowers, the song captures both the vulnerability and the exhilarating peak of romance and physical surrender.
