கண்களில் தூது விடு
என் கனி இதழ் மோத விடு
மின்னலில் மேடை இடு
இடை பின்னலில் ஆட விடு
Send a message through your eyes
Let my fruit-like lips collide
Male: Set up a stage in the lightning
Let the waist sway in an intertwined weave
கண்களில் தூது விடு
என் கனி இதழ் மோத விடு
மின்னலில் மேடை இடு
இடை பின்னலில் ஆட விடு
Send a message through your eyes
Let my fruit-like lips collide
Male: Set up a stage in the lightning
Let the waist sway in an intertwined weave
அம்மம்மா தேவதை போல் ஒரு
தேன் குடம் வந்தது அருகே என் அருகே
அடடா மாதுளம் பூவிதழ்
தேன் சுவை தந்தது உயிரே என் உயிரே
என் உயிரே
Oh my, like an angel, a...
...pot of honey has come close, close to you
Male: Wow, the pomegranate flower petal...
...gave the sweet taste of honey, my life, my life
My life...
கண்களில் தூது விடு
என் கனி இதழ் மோத விடு
மின்னலில் மேடை இடு
இடை பின்னலில் ஆட விடு
Send a message through your eyes
Let my fruit-like lips collide
Male: Set up a stage in the lightning
Let the waist sway in an intertwined weave
நூலோடு நூலுமே பின்ன
ஆடை விளைந்தாடும்
காலோடு காலுமே பின்ன
ஆசை விளைந்தாடும்
As thread intertwines with thread
The garment sways playfully
As leg intertwines with leg
Desire grows and blossoms
காவேரி யாருமே இங்கு
தோழில் வழிந்தோடும்
காதோரும் சேதியை சொல்லி
தேகம் விளையாடும்
Even the Kaveri river here
Flows cascading over the shoulders
Whispering news near the ears
The body plays along
காமன் தோட்ட முல்லை
இரவோடு காதல் பேரமா
காவல் தாண்டும் தொல்லை
உறவோடு நோயை தீர்க்குமோ
The jasmine touched by Lord Kama
Is it a bargain of love with the night?
Female: The trouble of crossing guard posts
Will it cure the longing ailment through intimacy?
தொட்டுத்தான் பட்டு தான்
முத்தாட வா இங்கே
இளம் சிட்டு தான் மொட்டு தான்
முத்தம் தாராதய்யா
Touching softly like silk
Shall we share kisses here?
Female: A young bird, a flower bud
Won't it grant a kiss, sir?
கண்களில் தூது விடு
என் கனி இதழ் மோத விடு
மின்னலில் மேடை இடு
இடை பின்னலில் ஆட விடு
Set up a stage in the lightning
Let the waist sway in an intertwined weave
Female: Send a message through your eyes
Let my fruit-like lips collide
நானாக நானுமே இல்லை
ஏனோ சொல்வாயோ
தானாக ஆசை பட்டேன்
கோபம் கொள்வாயோ
I am no longer myself
Will you tell me why?
I fell in love on my own
Will you get angry?
ஆளான பூவும் தன்னால்
வாசம் சிந்துதோ
ஆலோலம் பாடி நின்றால்
மோகம் துள்ளாதோ
Doesn't a fully bloomed flower
Scatter its fragrance on its own?
If one stands singing a sweet lullaby
Won't passion leap up?
தாளவில்லை தொல்லை
உருமாறி நானும் போகிறேன்
தீர்க்கும் இந்த பிள்ளை
இளைப்பாற தோழில் சாய்கிறேன்
The affliction is unbearable
I am transforming and leaving
Male: This young boy will resolve it
I lean on your shoulders to rest
உன்னை தான் எண்ணி தான்
கண் மூடும் மான் இங்கே
அட சொல்லி தான் அள்ளி தான்
சொர்கம் தந்தாடுவேன்
Thinking only of you
The doe closes its eyes here
Male: Ah, by speaking and gathering you close
I will bestow heaven upon you
கண்களில் தூது விடு
என் கனி இதழ் மோத விடு
மின்னலில் மேடை இடு
இடை பின்னலில் ஆட விடு
Send a message through your eyes
Let my fruit-like lips collide
Male: Set up a stage in the lightning
Let the waist sway in an intertwined weave
அம்மம்மா தேவதை போல் ஒரு
தேன் குடம் வந்தது அருகே என் அருகே

My life...
கண்களில் தூது விடு
கண்களில் தூது விடு
என் கனி இதழ் மோத விடு
என் கனி இதழ் மோத விடு
மின்னலில் மேடை இடு
மின்னலில் மேடை இடு
இடை பின்னலில் ஆட விடு
இடை பின்னலில் ஆட விடு
