மஞ்சத்தில் நான் கொஞ்சத்தான் நீ
மஞ்சத்தில் நான் கொஞ்சத்தான் நீ..
I am on the bed, and you are here to cuddle
I am on the bed, and you are here to cuddle...
ராத்திரி நேரம் காத்திருக்கு ரகசிய ஆசை பூத்திருக்கு
பஞ்சுடன் தீயை சேர்த்திடவா
பல நாள் கணக்கை தீர்த்திடவா
பூங்கொடி பாய மாங்கனி தேகம் ஏங்கிடும் நேரம்
The night time is waiting
A secret desire has blossomed
Shall I bring cotton and fire together?
Shall I settle the accounts of many days?
When the flower-creeper pounces, the mango-like body longs for love

பூங்கொடி பாய மாங்கனி தேடும் காளையின் வேகம்
I am on the bed, and you are here to cuddle...
The night time is waiting
A secret desire has blossomed
Shall I bring cotton and fire together?
Shall I settle the accounts of many days?
The speed of a bull seeking the mango fruit as the flower-creeper pounces
வஞ்சி இவள் சலவை நிலவின் பளிங்கு கலவை
என் விழியில் விழுந்த மனது உருகும் அனலில்
This slender maiden is a mixture of washed moonlight and marble
The heart that fell into my gaze melts in the burning heat
.......................
................
காமத்தில் மேனி கொதிக்க
பாவையின் தேகம் மூலிகையாகும்
மோகத்தை மூடி மறைக்க
காவலை மீறி ஆவலை தூண்டும்
When the body boils with passion
The damsel's body becomes a healing herb
To cover and conceal the infatuation
Overcoming all guards, it incites yearning
மேகத்தில் கிள்ளி எடுத்த
ஏழு நிறத்தின் வில்லை வளைத்து
தேகத்தின் புள்ளிகளுக்கு
கோடுகள் இட்டு கோலம் நடத்து
Pinch-plucked from the clouds
Bending the rainbow of seven colors
Connecting the dots on the body
Draw lines and perform the art of Kolam
மெஹபூபா...ஆஆஆஆ......
ஏ....ஏ.....ஏய்....ஏ.....ஏய்......ஏய்.....யா

வேங்கையிவன் விரலின்
அசைவில் புயலும் பதுங்கும்
நான் நினைத்தால் எழுந்த
கடலின் அலையும் அடங்கும்
At the movement of this tiger's finger
Even a storm ducking for cover retreats
If I wish, the ocean waves
That rose high will subside

All those who won through sheer valor
Were defeated by women in ancient times
Do not leap with such arrogance and speed
It is certain that you will fall today
வீரத்தில் வென்றவரெல்லாம்
வீழ்ந்தவர்தானே பெண்ணிடம் அன்று
வேகத்தில் துள்ளிட வேண்டாம்
வீழ்வது நீதான் நிச்சியம் இன்று
The depth in a maiden's heart
What limit does it have for a husband?
We caress danger itself
The child of lightning fears nothing
Dilruba...aaaaaaaa,,,,
Female: Yae...yae....yaei.....yae.....yaei yaei.....yaa
ஆழத்தை கன்னியர் நெஞ்சில்
கண்டவனுக்கு என்னடி எல்லை
