ஏ காதல் பண்ண கத்துக் கொடுப்பேன்

Hey, I will teach you how to love
Without taking any salary
Without asking for your consent
A young maiden at night time
Is yearning without sleeping
தேகம் சூடாச்சு நெஞ்சம் எங்கும் தீயாச்சு
நீ அணைக்காட்டி என் கதி என்னாச்சு ஹே
The body has grown warm, the heart is all on fire
If you do not embrace me, what will become of my fate, hey
காதல் பண்ண கத்துக் கொடுப்பேன்

ஒளிவும் மறைவும் எனக்கில்ல
எனையே விருந்தா படைப்பேன்
This is not a commodity that diminishes when given
I will give as long as I have it
I have no secrets or concealment
I will serve myself as a feast
தனியா இருந்தா பிடிக்காது
அதுக்கா மலரா மலர்ந்தேன்
சுகமா உலகை மறந்தாத்தான்
அதுதான் எனக்கு நிறைவு
I do not like being alone
Is that why I blossomed like a flower?
Only when pleasantly forgetting the world
Does that bring me fulfillment
அந்தியில் பூக்குற பூந்தோட்டம்
என் நெஞ்சிலே எத்தனை போராட்டம்
ஏய் கண்ணுல ஊத்துற சாராயம்
காலுல ஆடுது ஆகாயம்
அம்மாடி பார்த்தாலே போதை ஏறுது தன்னாலே
A flower garden blooming at dusk
How many struggles are there in my heart!
Hey, liquor poured into the eyes
The sky is dancing beneath the feet
Oh my, intoxication rises on its own just by looking
காதல் பண்ண கத்துக் கொடுப்பேன்
சம்பளம் வாங்காமே
உன்னோட சம்மதம் கேட்காமே
கன்னிப் பொண்ணு ராத்திரி நேரம்
ஏங்குது தூங்காமே......

...
இரவும் பகலும் உறங்காமே
உனையே நெனச்சு துடிச்சேன்
இதமா பதமா தழுவாமே
தனியா கெடந்து தவிச்சேன்
Without sleeping day and night
Thinking of you, I throbbed with yearning
Without gently and tenderly embracing me
I lay alone and suffered
சிரிச்சே கதைய முடிக்காதே
நெருங்கு எனை நீ நெருக்கு
இதுக்கா எனை நீ அழைச்சே
தயக்கம் எதுக்கு உனக்கு
Do not end the story just by laughing
Come close to me, come close
Is this why you called me?
Why do you hesitate?
தீயில வேகுது என் மேனி
ஏனின்னும் காத்திரு சொன்னானே
மன்மத பூவிலே தேனூற
மார்பில சாஞ்சுக்க நீயாக
நானாச்சு நீயாச்சு வாடக் காத்துல தீயாச்சு
My body is burning in fire
Why did he tell me to wait longer?
As honey oozes in Cupid's flower
Lean on my chest on your own accord
It became me and it became you, a fire catching in the chill wind
காதல் பண்ண கத்துக் கொடுப்பேன்
சம்பளம் வாங்காமே
உன்னோட சம்மதம் கேட்காமே
