முதல் முறையாய் நான்
ஒரு கனவு கண்டேனே
கனவினிலே ஓர் மதன் உருவம் கண்டேனே
அவன் சிரிப்பினில் நவரசம் மனதுக்குள் பரவசம்
For the very first time, I
I saw a dream
In my dream, I saw the figure of Lord Kama
In his smile were nine emotions, and ecstasy filled my heart
முதல் முறையாய் நான்
ஒரு கனவு கண்டேனே
கனவினிலே ஓர் ரதி உருவம் கண்டேனே
அவள் சிரிப்பினில் நவரசம் மனதுக்குள் பரவசம்
For the very first time, I
I saw a dream
In my dream, I saw the figure of Lord Kama
In his smile were nine emotions, and ecstasy filled my heart
முதல் முறையாய் நான்
ஒரு கனவு கண்டேனே...
For the very first time, I
I saw a dream...
முகவரி தேடி அலைந்திருந்தேன்
முகம் தனை காண துடித்திருந்தேன்
கனவுகளை நகலெடுத்து
இதழ்களில் நான் எழுத வந்தேன்
I wandered around searching for an address
I yearned eagerly to see your face
Male: Making a copy of my dreams
I came to write them upon your lips
இமைகளுக்குள் உனைப் பிடித்து
விழித் திறக்காமல் நடந்து வந்தேன்
வன மயிலே என் வளர் நிலவே
உனைப் பிரிந்தால் உயிரில்லையே
ஒரு பதில் கொடு அணைத்திடு
Capturing you inside my eyelids
I walked without opening my eyes
Male: Oh forest peacock, my waxing crescent moon
Female: If I am separated from you, my life ceases to exist
Male: Give me an answer and embrace me
முதல் முறையாய் நான்
ஒரு கனவு கண்டேனே...
கனவினிலே ஓர்
ரதி உருவம் கண்டேனே
For the very first time, I
I saw a dream
Male: In my dream, a
Form of Goddess Rathi I saw
இரவுகள் தோறும் விழித்திருந்தேன்
இளமையும் எனைக் கொல்ல தவித்திருந்தேன்
ஒரு மனமாய் இணைந்து விட்டோம்
திருமணந்தான் நடக்கட்டுமே
Every night I stayed awake
My youth tormented me with yearning
Female: We have united with one single heart
Let the wedding take place now
அதுவரை நான் பொறுப்பதில்லை
தனிமையில்தான் விருப்பம் இல்லை
முகவுரை இல்லை முடிவெதற்கு.....
முயன்று விட்டால் சுகம் இருக்கு
இங்கு தடையுண்டு விடை கொடு...
Until then, I cannot endure it
I have no desire to stay alone
Female: There is no prelude to reach a conclusion...
Male: If we make an effort, there is pleasure ahead
Female: There are obstacles here, bid me farewell...
முதல் முறையாய் நான்
