தேதி இல்லாத பஞ்சாங்கமா
ஆசை எனக்கில்லையா ஆ..ஆ.....
நிலவு இல்லாத பௌர்ணமியா
நேரம் அதுக்கில்லையா...ஆ.....
நேரம் அதுக்கில்லையா...
Is an almanac ever without dates?
Don't I have desires? Ah... ah...
Is a full moon night ever without the moon?
Isn't there a right time for that? Ah...
Isn't there a right time for that?
என் கையாலே பூப்பறிக்க
என் கண்ணாலே அளவெடுக்க
அம்மாடி வந்தாலென்ன
பேரானந்தம் தந்தாலென்ன
To pluck flowers with my own hands,
To measure you with my eyes,
Oh my, what if she comes?
What if she grants supreme bliss?
மேகம் மூடாத மலையில்லையே
மெல்ல நெருங்குங்களே
தாகம் இல்லாத தண்ணில்லையே
தொட்டு தழுவுங்களேன்....ஆ....
தொட்டு தழுவுங்களேன்.....
There is no mountain unclouded by mist,
So come closer gently,
There is no water that lacks thirst,
Touch and embrace me... ah...
Touch and embrace me...
ஏன் பேராசை வருகின்றது
உன் பெண்மைக்கு புரிகின்றது
என்னை நீராட சொல்கின்றது
இப்ப தானாக தருகின்றது
Why does great desire arise?
Your womanhood understands it,
It tells me to bathe in bliss,
Now it willingly gives itself to me,
கிக்கிக்கிக்கீ கிளியக்கோய்
கேட்டுச் சொல்லேன் ஒரு வழியக்கோய்
Kikkikkikee parrot-like sweet girl!
Ask around and tell me a solution!
போதை உண்டாகும் திராட்சை பழம்
பூஜை செய்வேனெம்மா.....ஆ.....
காதல் உண்டாக்கும் கன்னிக்கொடி
கட்டாயம் தேவையம்மா.....ஹா....
கட்டாயம் தேவையம்மா.....
Inebriating grape fruit,
I shall worship you, my lady... ah...
The maiden vine that creates love,
Is definitely needed, my lady... haa...
Is definitely needed, my lady...
உன் கைரெண்டும் பொல்லாதது
எந்த காவலும் இல்லாதது
அது எங்கெங்கோ செல்கின்றது
சும்மா ஏதேதோ சொல்கின்றது........
Your two hands are mischievous,
They are devoid of any restraint,
They wander wherever they please,
And speak all kinds of things needlessly,
கிக்கிக்கிக்கீ கிளியக்கோய்
கேட்டுச் சொல்லேன் ஒரு வழியக்கோய்
சக்கரைப் போல் இரண்டு இதழக்கோய்
தந்து விட்டால் என்ன குறையக்கோய்
