................
The nights will lengthen
This is the play of desire
Without any rules
An arena of love
இரவுகள் நீளும்
இது காமன் ஆட்டம்
விதிமுறை இல்லா
ஒரு காதல் கோட்டம்
That melts the soul
Your sharp, mischievous glance
That crushes the body
The heat of your physical form
உயிரை உருக்கும்
உன் குறு குறு பார்வை
உடம்பை நொறுக்கும்
உன் தேகத்தின் வேட்க்கை
Hey, stimulating the senses
The sweat of your body
Buried within you
Is my beautiful masculinity
ஏய் உணர்வை தூண்டும்
உன் மேனியின் வேர்வை
உனக்குள் புதையும்
என் அழகிய ஆண்மை
O Fire, won't your heat diminish?
O Stream, won't your flood recede?
O Ocean, won't your waves grow calm?
O Life, won't this continue?
கனலே வெப்பம் குறையாதா
புனலே வெள்ளம் வடியாதா
கடலே அலைகள் ஓயாதா
உயிரே இதுவே தொடராதா
Drifting in the breeze
The fragrance of your hair
Tells me to caress you
Tells me to steal you away
காற்றில் அலையும்
உன் கேசத்தின் வாசம்
வருட சொல்லுதடி
உனை திருட சொல்லுதடி
Embracing my chest
The affection of your hands
Does something to me
My shyness loses its battle
மார்பில் அணைக்கும்
உன் கைகளின் நேசம்
ஏதோ செய்கிறதே
என் வெட்கம் தோற்கிறதே
You alone, you alone are
The essence of my life
You gave to my heart
The moisture of your lips
நீயே நீயே எந்தன்
வாழ்வின் சாரம்
தந்தாய் நெஞ்சில்
உன் இதழின் ஈரம்
I myself, I myself
Have gotten lost within you
Why, oh why?
You tell me, my love
நானே நானே
உன்னில் தொலைந்தே போனேன்
ஏனோ ஏனோ
நீ சொல்வாய் அன்பே
O Heart, won't this thrill settle?
O Eyes, won't sleep come?
O Dreams, O Memories, won't you return?
O Destiny, won't this yearning end?
மனமே சிலிர்ப்பே அடங்காதா
விழியே தூக்கம் வாராதா
கனவே நினைவே திரும்பாதா
விதியே ஏக்கம் தீராதா
The nights will lengthen
This is the play of desire
Without any rules
An arena of love
இரவுகள் நீளும்
இது காமன் ஆட்டம்
விதிமுறை இல்லா
ஒரு காதல் கோட்டம்
That melts the soul
Your sharp, mischievous glance
That crushes the body
The heat of your physical form

உன் குறு குறு பார்வை

Ho, stimulating the senses
The sweat of your body
Buried within you
Is my beautiful masculinity
ஹோ உணர்வை தூண்டும்
உன் மேனியின் வேர்வை
உனக்குள் புதையும்
என் அழகிய ஆண்மை
O Fire, won't your heat diminish?
O Stream, won't your flood recede?
O Ocean, won't your waves grow calm?
O Life, won't this continue?
