கண்ணே......
கதவு திறந்திடும் முன்னே.....
கதைகள் படிக்கணும் பெண்ணே.....
தனிமைதான்.......இனிமைதான்......
காதலென்னும் புத்தகத்தில்
முத்தமென்னும் பக்கம் எடு.....
My darling...
Before the door opens,
We must read stories, my girl.
Solitude is indeed sweet.
In the book called love,
Turn to the page named kiss.
கண்ணா.......
கதவு திறக்கட்டும் கண்ணா.....
மனசு நடுங்குது மன்னா.....
தனிமையோ.......இனிமையோ......
புத்தனவன் சொல்லி வைத்த
புத்தகத்தை மெல்ல எடு....
My beloved...
Let the door be opened, my beloved.
My heart is trembling, my king.
Is solitude truly sweet?
The book that Lord Buddha taught,
Take that out gently.
இன்பமென்னும் புத்தகம்
இங்கு எங்கு உள்ளதோ
தேடு.....கொஞ்சம் தேடு......
காமன் சொன்ன சூத்திரம்
உன்னிடத்தில் உள்ளது
பாடு......அளவோடு.......
The book called joy,
Search where it is located here.
Search a little bit.
Female: The formulas taught by Kamadeva,
Are with you; sing within bounds.
பள்ளி இது பிறர்க்கு
பள்ளியறை நமக்கு
இன்பமிது உனக்கு
துன்பமிது எனக்கு
அடி பட்டிமன்ற
வாதமிங்கு கூடாது
This is a school for others,
A bedroom for us.
Female: This is pleasure for you,
This is suffering for me.
Male: Hey, a debate-like,
Argument is not allowed here.

Male: Solitude is indeed sweet.

உண்மையில்லை என்பதால்
ஊருலகம் நம்புமா
நாளை......அதிகாலை.......
உண்மையென்று சொல்லுவேன்
மாலைக் கட்டிக் கொள்ளுவேன்
நாளை......இந்த வேளை......
Since it is not the truth,
Will the world believe it?
Tomorrow early morning,
Male: I will declare it as true,
And adorn you with a garland,
Tomorrow at this time.
தப்பு இந்த நெருக்கம்
தாங்கவில்லை எனக்கும்
காலை வரும் வரைக்கும்
காதலுக்கு வணக்கம்
அட கட்டழகன்
தொட்ட இடம் பூப்பூக்கும்
This intimacy is wrong,
Even I cannot endure it.
Male: Until the morning arrives,
A temporary goodbye to love.
Female: Oh handsome man,
Every spot you touch blooms into a flower.
