Midnight mister,
Shall we compose a tune?
Without saying goodnight,
Shall we stay up all night together?
Midnight mister,
Shall we compose a tune?
Without saying goodnight,
Shall we stay up all night together?
It is only teenage,
yet you are testing it.
Reaching deep within,
you are touching my heart.
Hey, so much has happened,
everything has gone topsy-turvy, hey!
It is midnight, yes!
Shall we compose a tune?
Without saying goodnight,
Shall we stay up all night together?
It is midnight, yes!
Shall we compose a tune?
Without saying goodnight,
Shall we stay up all night together?
When the breeze comes and touches it,
which tree wouldn't sway?
Afterwards, you must not
put the blame on me!
Stumbling as if drunk,
do not preach philosophy!
Like a lotus leaf in water,
do not stay so detached!
The god of love has raised his flag
and winks with his eyes!
Female: Aaha... aa!
Male: With his hands on his sugarcane bow,
he tunes the notes of desire!
From the love-arrows
fired by the god of love,
is it ever possible to escape?
It is midnight, yes!
Shall we compose a tune?
Without saying goodnight,
Shall we stay up all night together?
Midnight mister,
Shall we compose a tune?

It is only teenage,
yet you are testing it.

you are touching my heart.

Midnight mister,
Shall we compose a tune?
Without saying goodnight,
Shall we stay up all night together?
It is midnight, yes!
Shall we compose a tune?
Without saying goodnight,
Shall we stay up all night together?
Look up above at the silver moon,
look down here at the lovely maiden moon!
Shining bright in the dark,
is your front-facing beauty!
To sip the honey from the flower,
just give me your permission!
The stars are winking,
on this shy midnight!
The wind that blew cold
has now turned warm!
Male: Haha ha!
Female: Comfortably stirring up the heat,
it slipped away without a word!
When the mood strikes
and passion is born,
will I get a kiss, will I get one?
Midnight mister,
Shall we compose a tune?
Without saying goodnight,
Shall we stay up all night together?
It is midnight, yes!

yet you are testing it.
Reaching deep within,
you are touching my heart.
Hey, so much has happened,
everything has gone topsy-turvy, hey!

Thaa thaarinnaara naana,
Thatharinna naana,
Thaa thaarinnaara naana,
Thatharinna naana,
Thaa thaarinnaara naana.

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This playful duet features a young couple engaging in romantic nocturnal banter. The female lead mischievously teases her lover during midnight, inviting him to stay up, sing tunes, and indulge in romantic passion rather than going to sleep. They exchange flirtatious metaphors involving Lord Kamadeva (the god of love), lotus flowers, sugarcane bows, and the midnight moon.
