Fear has melted away and desire has taken over, pulling me close.

Female: Shall I give you a cozy blanket to warm you in this cold?
The bed that God spread out for us
has not been folded away yet.
The young man's heart and the young woman's heart
have not parted from each other at all.
Even after talking all night long until dawn,
our sweet daze has not faded away.
Where all our shyness vanished,
neither of us really knows.
It is so cold, it is so cold, shall I come with you?
Female: Shall I give you a cozy blanket to warm you in this cold?
Male: It is so cold, it is so cold, shall I come with you?

Overall song meaning
This playful and evocative romantic duet from Anandhi (1965) portrays lovers seeking warmth and closeness on a cold, dewy night. Using vivid natural imagery like cold mountain breezes, foliage, insects swooning in sweet nectar, and God's nature as an open bed, the song captures the tender shift from hesitation to passion.
