In the evening, in the southern corner,
A cuckoo sings a sweet melody of Mohanam.
In the evening, in the southern corner,
A cuckoo sings a sweet melody of Mohanam.
Listening to that song of the female cuckoo,
The male cuckoo searches for joy.
As gentle drizzles and cool sprays
Are showered by the winter clouds of Margazhi,
Female: As fresh desire and passion
Spread across this tender young body,
Listening to that song of the female cuckoo,
The male cuckoo searches for joy.
Like a temple that never closes its doors,
Doesn't it witness worship every single day?
Female: The epic of love unspoken in words,
Won't our lips chant and recite it?
Are our never-ending desires
Like the flowing waterfalls of Courtallam?
Female: In these playful, romantic moments,
Why this mischievous questioning?
Set aside your shyness and come to me, my darling!
Female: This delicate body is like an ocean of milk,
Male: For me to dive into today,
While waves of honey surge and play!
In the evening, in the southern corner,
A cuckoo sings a sweet melody of Mohanam.
Krishna of Gokulam plays his flute,
Searching for the shadow of Radha.
Male: What music can exist without the seven notes?
Which direction is left untouched by the gentle breeze?
When our bodies touch,
Millions of lightning bolts flash through!
Male: When our hands meet, a hundred thousand
New melodies blossom like flowers!
With you giving and me giving, will any sweetness be left behind?
Male: Why should anything be kept back, my girl?
Female: As you touch and I touch, pure pleasure
Springs up like fresh water in a village pond.
Listening to that song of the female cuckoo,
The male cuckoo searches for joy.
Male: In the evening, in the southern corner,
A cuckoo sings a sweet melody of Mohanam.
As fresh desire and passion
Spread across this tender young body,
Male: As gentle drizzles and cool sprays
Are showered by the winter clouds of Margazhi,
In the evening, in the southern corner,
A cuckoo sings a sweet melody of Mohanam.
