For a short while, I forgot myself
Why are your eyes framed like the blue ocean?

Is that gaze directed at me?

With lips as red as ruby and honey,
I came to offer them as a tribute.
காணிக்கை ஏது நான் தரும் போது
காணிக்கை ஏது நான் தரும் போது
காதலில் சுவை ஏது நான் வழங்காது
What gift is needed when I offer myself?
What gift is needed when I offer myself?
Where is the sweetness in love if I do not grant it?

வாங்கிய நிலம் போலே
Like the earth receiving
The water brought by heaven's rain,
நான் ஒரு சுகம் காண
நேர்ந்தது உன்னாலே
For me to experience delight,
It came to be because of you.
