We can look face to face
முகத்தில் முகம் பார்க்கலாம்
விரல் நகத்தில் பவழத்தின் நிறம் பார்க்கலாம்
முகத்தில் முகம் பார்க்கலாம்
விரல் நகத்தில் பவழத்தின் நிறம் பார்க்கலாம்
We can look face to face
We can see the coral color on the fingernails
We can look face to face

வகுத்த கருங்குழலை
மழை முகில் எனச் சொன்னால்
ஆஹா......ஆஅ......ஆ....
வகுத்த கருங்குழலை
மழை முகில் எனச் சொன்னால்
மலரினை இதழோடு இணை சேர்க்கலாம்
என் முன் வளைந்து இளந் தென்றலில்
மிதந்து வரும் கைகளில்
வளையலின் இசை கேட்கலாம்
வளைந்து இளந் தென்றலில்
மிதந்து வரும் கைகளில்
வளையலின் இசை கேட்கலாம்
மானே உன் முகத்தில் முகம் பார்க்கலாம்
If one says the parted dark hair
Is like a rain cloud
Aaahaaaa....aaa...aa...
If one says the parted dark hair
Is like a rain cloud
A flower with her lips
Can be paired together
Swaying before me in the gentle breeze
On the hands floating towards me
We can hear the music of bangles
Swaying in the gentle breeze
On the hands floating towards me
We can hear the music of bangles
Oh deer-like one, we can look into your face
இகத்தில் இருக்கும் சுகம்
எத்தனையானாலும்
இருவர்க்கும் பொதுவாக்கலாம்
அன்பே இகத்தில் இருக்கும் சுகம்
எத்தனையானாலும்
இருவர்க்கும் பொதுவாக்கலாம்
அன்பே அதன் எண்ணிக்கை விரிவாக்கலாம்
காதல் அகத்தினில் அலைமோதும்
ஆசையிலே இன்பம்
அகத்தினில் அலைமோதும்
ஆசையிலே இன்பம்
ஆயிரம் உருவாக்கலாம்
இன்பம் ஆயிரம் உருவாக்கலாம்
The pleasures present in this world
No matter how many there are
Can be shared equally between us both
My love, the pleasures present in this world
No matter how many there are
Can be shared equally between us both
My love, we can expand their count
Love surges like waves within the heart
In desire lies happiness
Surges like waves within the heart
In desire lies happiness
We can create a thousand delights
We can create a thousand delights
இளமை பொங்கும் அங்கம் சிந்தும்
அழகில் தங்கம் மங்கும் நிலையில்
The beauty overflowing from youthful limbs
Reaches a state where even gold pales in comparison
இங்கு தன்னை மறந்து
எண்ணம் கலந்து
வண்ணத் தோகை மயிலென்னச் சோலைகளை
Here, forgetting oneself
Blending thoughts together
In gardens like colorful fan-tailed peacocks
உலவலாம்
We can stroll around
மகிழலாம்
We can rejoice
கலையலாம்
We can immerse in art
பழகலாம்
We can grow close together
சதங்கையது குலுங்கி நகைத்திட
வரம்பு கடந்திடும் குறும்பு படர்ந்திடும்
முகத்தில் முகம் பார்க்கலாம்
விரல் நகத்தில் பவழத்தின் நிறம் பார்க்கலாம்
முகத்தில் முகம் பார்க்கலாம்
