கன்னம் அதில் வண்ணம்
புது எண்ணம் கண் காட்டுதே
வெண்ணம் இதழ்
பெண்ணம் வர காதல் தாலாட்டுதே
Color on those cheeks
New thoughts signal through the eyes
Female: Soft bright lips
As womanhood arrives, love lulls to sleep
மிதக்கும் மேகம்
பறக்க சொல்லுதே
துடைக்கும் ஆசை
அருகில் தள்ளுதே
The floating cloud
Tells me to fly
Female: The lingering desire
Pushes me closer
உன் கரங்கள் கோர்த்ததும்
நானும் வீரன் ஆகிறேன்
உன் தோளிலே சாயவே
நான் கரைந்து போகிறேன்
The moment our hands intertwine
I too become a warrior
Female: Just to lean on your shoulder
I melt away
நம் காதலை சொல்லவே
வார்த்தை தீர்ந்து போகுதே
Naanaa nana naanaa tharaa
Naanaa nannaararaa
நானா நனா நானா தரா
நானா நன்னாரரா
That passionate infatuation
The intensity sets fire to both our bodies
Male: Running together to unite
Desire wags its playful tail
மோகம் அது
வேகம் இரு தேகம் தீமூட்டுதே
சேரும் நொடி கூடி வர
காமம் வாலாட்டுதே
The floating cloud
Tells me to fly
Male: The desire to hold
Embraces tightly
மிதக்கும் மேகம்
பறக்க சொல்லவே
பிடிக்கும் ஆசை
அணைத்து கொள்ளுதே
Just to unite with you
I adorn myself beautifully
Male: What resides within my heart
I proclaim out loud
உன்னோடுதான் சேரவே
நான் சிங்காரி ஆகிறேன்
என் உள்ளத்தில் உள்ளதை
நான் உரக்க சொல்கிறேன்
நாம் சேரவே நாணமும்
கண்கள் மூடிக் கொள்ளுதே
Kannam athil vannam
Color on those cheeks
Puthu ennam kan kaattuthae
New thoughts signal through the eyes
Female :Vennam idhazh
Female: Soft bright lips
Pennam vara kadhal thaalaattuthae
As womanhood arrives, love lulls to sleep
