பழம் பல்லவ நாட்டு சிற்பங்கள் உயிர் கொண்டிட
புஷ்ப பல்லாக்கு மேனி தேடி குடி புகுந்திட
பாம்பு நடையாட்டம் நெளிந்திட்ட சடை போட்டவள்
பம்பை உடுக்காட்டம் மெலிந்திட்ட இடை கொண்டவள்
As if the ancient sculptures of the Pallava kingdom have come to life
Seeking her body like a flower palanquin to take residence
She who wears a braided hair that sways like a slithering snake
She who possesses a slender waist vibrating like a Mumbai udukku drum
அம்புலி போல் வஞ்சி ஜொலிக்கின்றவள்
அம்பாகியே நெஞ்சை தைக்கின்றவள்
இதுவே என் காதலி முகவரியாம்...ஹ்ஹ்ஹ
இதுவே என் காதலி முகவரியாம்....ஹஹ் ஹோய்.
She, the young maiden, shines bright like the full moon
Becoming an arrow that pierces straight through the heart

தேகத்தில் ஆடை தன்னின் எடை குறைக்க
தாவி விழும் முந்தான போட மறந்தோம்
லோகங்கள் ஏழென்று கிண்ணம் உரைக்க
சிறகேதும் இல்லாமல் வானில் பறப்போம்
As the weight of clothes on the body lightens
We forgot to wear sweat drops that leap like pearls
Male: As the seven worlds clash together like clinking glasses
We fly across the sky without needing any wings
பார்வை என்றிடும் நிலவு தன்னை
போதை என்றிடும் மேகம் மறைக்க
சொர்க்கத்தின் கதவுகள் மதுவென்கிறோம்
சொர்க்கத்தின் கதவுகள் மதுவென்கிறோம்.....
The moon known as vision

Their heavy eyelids and unsteady feet reflect an intoxicating mix of passionate romance and joyous abandon. Throughout the track, rich visual imagery connects classical beauty with passionate romantic freedom. The lovers feel as if wings are unnecessary to float into the heavens, describing their emotional togetherness as opening the very gates of paradise.
