யாருமில்லாத மாமலை மீது
என்னோடு நீ
ஆடையில்லாத முழு நிலா
ஒளியில் நனைகின்ற நான்
On a great deserted mountain
You are with me
Under the bare full moon's
Light, I am getting drenched
மேனி மேல் மோதும் காற்றினை
உடைத்து தடுக்கின்ற நீ
பூமியின் மொத்த காதலை
குடிக்க துடிக்கின்ற நான்
The breeze that hits my body
You break and shield me from it
All the love in this world
I am yearning to drink
உயிர் முழுதும் திரட்டி
இதழ் மீது தீ மூட்டியே
அணைத்திடவே அழைத்தேன்
உன் இதழில் தேன் கொட்டியே
Gathering my entire life force
Lighting a fire upon the lips
I called out to embrace you
Pouring honey on your lips
முத்தம் முதல் முத்தம்
அது இதயம் திறக்கின்ற வழியென அறிந்திடு
முத்தம் முதல் முத்தம்
அது உயிரை பரிமாறும் குழலென புரிந்திடு
Kiss, the very first kiss
Know that it is the pathway that unlocks the heart
Kiss, the very first kiss
Understand that it is the conduit exchanging life
முத்தம் முதல் முத்தம்
அது எல்லை இல்லாத பரவசம் என உணர்ந்திடு
முத்தம் முதல் முத்தம்
தரும் நாள் திருநாளடா
Kiss, the very first kiss
Realize that it is boundless ecstasy
Kiss, the very first kiss
The day it is given is a sacred day, my man
ஏஏ…
யாருமில்லாத மாமலை மீது
என்னோடு நீ
பூமியின் மொத்த காதலை
குடிக்க துடிக்கின்ற நான்
Hey, on a great deserted mountain

ஓர் வானம் ஓர் பூமி
ஓர் வாழ்க்கை தான் நம்முன்னே
வாய் சேர்க்க நாள் பார்த்தால்
நாள் போதாது பெண்ணே
One sky, one earth
Only one life stands before us
If we wait for an auspicious day to join lips
Time won't be enough, my girl
நீ கேட்டால் ஓர் நாளில்
கொட்டும் முத்தங்கள் ஒரு கோடி
முதல் முத்தம் அது மட்டும்
நான் கேட்கும்படி
Hey, if you ask, in a single day
A crore kisses will shower down
The very first kiss alone
Is what I ask of you
நாற்பத்து மூன்று வகை முத்தம்
கலைகளில் மொத்தம்
நீ அதை கேட்கிறாய்
அளித்திடும் வன்மை வகை முத்தம்
வெண்மை வகை முத்தம்
என்ன எதிர் பார்க்கிறாய்
Forty-three types of kisses
In total across the arts
Which one are you asking for?
The intense style of kiss
The gentle style of kiss
What are you expecting?
இரெல்லாம் நொடி நாளெனாவிலே
மனப்பாடம் செய்யலாம்
இதழ் கோர்க்கும் நீரின் நூலில்
ஆடை நெய்யலாம்
All night, every second, on the tongue
We can memorize them all
With the thread of moisture linking our lips
We can weave a garment
முத்தம் முதல் முத்தம்
அது இதயம் திறக்கின்ற வழியென அறிந்திடு
முத்தம் முதல் முத்தம்
அது உயிரை பரிமாறும் குழலென புரிந்திடு

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deeply romantic and sensual duet expressing the overwhelming emotion and longing attached to a first kiss. Set against a secluded, atmospheric backdrop of a moonlit mountain, the lovers explore their desire and deep spiritual connection, viewing intimacy not merely as physical affection but as a transcendent exchange of soul and life force. The lyrics by Madhan Karky blend poetic metaphors—referencing classic erotic arts, fire on lips, and clothing woven from lip moisture—with Yuvan Shankar Raja's soulful vocals to elevate the idea of the first kiss into a sacred, unrepeatable milestone in a relationship.
