என் அங்கம் எந்த நாளும் உங்கள் சொந்தம்
வேண்டும் போது கேட்கலாமே
தேவலோகமா பூமியா போகலாம் வாருங்கள்
My body belongs to you at all times,
You can claim or ask for it whenever you wish.
Is it heaven or earth? Come, let us go!
பொன் மஞ்சம் அழகு பொங்க
போட்டு வைத்தேன்
என்னை வாழ்வில் ஏங்க வைத்தாய்
ஜாடை போதுமா வேண்டுமா
வேதனைக் காதலா...........
The golden couch overflows with beauty,
I have set it ready with decorative marks.
You made me yearn throughout my life,
Is a gesture enough, or do you want more?
Is this pain, or is it love?
நாடினேன்.............

I sought you...
There is never any justice for love in your heart.
I have seen a hundred lovers,

தேன் வெள்ளம் பெருகி ஓடும்
பெண்ணின் உள்ளம்
இன்பமாக நீந்தச் சொல்லும்
மேடை நாடகம் தீர்ந்ததும்
வாருங்கள் கேட்கலாம்
A flood of honey flows endlessly,
In a woman's heart,
Inviting one to swim in pure bliss.
Once the stage play comes to an end,
Come, let us talk and listen.
முள் மேலே படுக்கை போட்ட சின்ன ராஜா
பாவை போகும் பாதை கண்டு
வாட்டம் வந்ததா நீங்களும் மனிதரா
ஹே.......வேடிக்கை........
O little king who laid a bed over thorns,
Seeing the path where the maiden walks,
Did you wilt with sorrow? Are you human too?
Ha... what a spectacle!
நாடினேன்.............
காதலுக்கு நியாமில்லை என்றுமே உன்னிடம்
காதலர்கள் நூறு கண்டேன்
ரசிக்கின்றார் என்னிடம்
ஆஅ......ஆஅ......ஆ.....ஆ....ஆ.....
