How many total kisses are there?
Will you teach me?
Until the Guinness Book wears out
Will you shower them generously?
ஒரு வெட்கம் இல்லை
இனி விதிகள் இல்லை
நம் முத்தம் சொர்க்கம் தொடுமே.....ஏ....ஏ....
வெள்ளை மேகம் எடுத்து
தன் கண்கள் மறைத்து
அந்த வானம் மூடி கொள்ளுமே....ஏ.....ஏ....
There is no shame
There are no rules anymore
Our kiss will reach heaven
Taking a white cloud
Covering its eyes
That sky will cover itself up

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Kannam Sivakka' (also known as 'Mutham Moththam') from the 2003 film 'Aasai Aasaiyai' is a playful, romantic duet centered entirely around the concept and types of kisses. The lead couple lightheartedly explores different categories of kisses—ranging from a quick stealthy kiss ('lightning kiss') to a loud passionate one ('DTS kiss'), a comforting tender kiss ('motherly kiss'), an intense reunion kiss ('demonic kiss'), a poetic kiss on the eyes, and an erotic kiss.
