பக்கத்தில் உன்னைத் தேடி வந்தேனுங்க
வெட்கத்தில் வந்து நானும் நின்னேனுங்க
தேன் பொங்கும் கன்னம் மின்னும் வண்ணம்
கண்டால் என்ன வந்தால் என்ன
I came searching for you near me
Shyness overwhelmed me as I stood there
Cheeks overflowing with honey, glowing colors
What if you see it, what if you come?
பெண்ணிடம் என்ன இல்லை
பொன்னான ராகமுண்டு
உன்னிடம் என்ன இல்லை
கண்ணான தாளமுண்டு
பாடல் ஊடல் கூடல் உண்டு வா.......

Come, come, come, come...
மல்லிகை தோத்த முகம் பார்த்தானுங்க

பார் துள்ளும் பெண்மை அள்ளும் மென்மை
கள்ளும் நானே பூவும் நானே.....
He looked at a face like a cluster of jasmine flowers
Bestowing intoxication, he brought heavenly bliss
Look at the leaping womanhood and embracing gentleness
I am the firm stone, and I am the soft flower
பருவத்தில் மோகம் வைத்து
பழகாத தேகம் வைத்தான்
உருவத்தில் வேகம் வைத்து
உறங்காத தாகம் வைத்தான்
நீயும் நானும் கூடும் நேரம் வா......
Placing desire in the heart of youth
He gave a tender, inexperienced body
Placing passion in the physical form
