மழை மேகம் நீயடா
உன் தேசம் நானடா
மடி மேலே சேர்கிறாய்
நீ தூறலா
You are a rain cloud, my dear
I am your land, my dear
You gather on my lap
Are you a gentle drizzle...
புல்லாங்குழல் நானடா
புயல் போலவே நீயடா
இசையே இசையாய்
இசைவேனடா .....
I am a flute, my dear
You are like a storm, my dear
As music turns into pure harmony
I shall yield to you
மோகம் நான் கொண்டாலுமே
தாகம் நீ எந்நாளுமே
தேடும் விரல்கள்
உன் மேனி தான்
Even if I feel intense desire
You are always my thirst
The searching fingers
Seek only your body
அது போதுமே போதுமே
இதழ் சேரும் நேரமே
உண்டாகும் தீயில் காயவா
உன் மீது தேனாய் உருகவா
That alone is enough, enough
When lips meet
Shall I warm myself in the fire that kindles?
Shall I melt on you like honey?
இது நீளுமே நீளுமே
உறங்காமலே போகுமே
நாம் காதல் செய்வோம் இரவெல்லாம்
உன் தேகம் தா
This will stretch on and on
Sleep will disappear
We shall make love all night
Give me your body, ahhh
ம்ம் ...ம்ம் .........
Hmm... hey... hmmm
அசைந்தால் இசைந்தால் களிப்பேனே
அசையும் விசையில் துடிப்பேனே
படர்ந்தால் தொடர்ந்தால் களிப்பேனே
If you move and yield
I shall be overjoyed
I will throb in the moving force
If it spreads and continues
I will be exhausted, hey
இதழ் வேர்க்கும் பூவடி
தொடர்ந்திடும் முத்தங்கள்
பறந்திடும் பித்தங்கள்
குளிர்ந்திடும் தீ
நீ தா மேனி
The flower with sweating lips
Continuous kisses
Soaring frenzy
The fire that cools down
Give me your body...
இதழ் வழி குற்றங்கள்
இலக்கண மிச்சங்கள்
புரிவோம் இனிதான் நாமே
Sins committed through lips
Remnants of grammar and rules
We shall indulge in them sweetly from now on...
ஹேய் ..அது போதுமே போதுமே
இதழ் சேரும் நேரமே
உண்டாகும் தீயில் காயவா
உன் மீது நானும் படரவா
Hey... that is enough, enough
When lips meet
Shall I warm myself in the fire that kindles?
Shall I spread over you?
இது நீளுமே நீளுமே
உறங்காமலே போகுமே
நாம் காதல் செய்வோம் இரவெல்லாம்
என்னோடு நீ வா ..ஆஆ ....
This will stretch on and on
Sleep will disappear
We shall make love all night
Come with me, ahhh...
ஹேய் ...ம்ம் ...ம்ம் .........
ஆஹா..ஆஆ ...
ஹேய் ..................................
Hey... hmmm... hmmm...
