ஒரு சித்திரத்தில்
இதழ் செம்பவளம் அதன்
புன்னகையில் தேன் சிந்தி

The lips are like red coral,
And honey spills from its smile.

In a painting,
The lips are like red coral,
And honey spills from its smile.
செவ் இதழ்
பூத்த அழகில் நெஞ்சம்
உருகட்டுமே ஒவ்வொரு
நாளும் தலைவன் கொஞ்சம்
பருகட்டுமே
In the beauty of blooming red lips,
Let the heart melt.
Every day, let the beloved husband
Sip a little bit.
பருகும் அந்த
வேளையில் கண் மயங்கும்
சுகம் பெருகும் அந்த நேரத்தில்
பெண் மயங்கும்
At the moment of sipping,
The eyes swoon in ecstasy.
At that time when joy multiplies,
The woman swoons in love.
நான் நன்றி

கண்களுக்கு உன்னை
என் அருகே கொண்டு
வந்ததற்கு
I will express my gratitude
To my eyes
For bringing you close to me.

As I keep expressing my gratitude
Why do I slowly forget myself?
ஆண் & பெண் :
............................
A golden statue,
Is what I was.
A fine silver chariot,
Is what you were.
ஒரு தங்க சிலை
என்று நான் இருந்தேன்
நல்ல வெள்ளி ரதம்
என்று நீ இருந்தாய்
I existed all this time,
There is no loneliness anymore.
No matter how I lived back then,
There was never a sweetness like this.
இத்தனை காலம்
இருந்தேன் இனி
தனிமையில்லை எப்படி
வாழ்ந்த போதும் இந்த
இனிமை இல்லை
On the first day, with a single glance,
You summoned me.
Then on the next day, with a single word,
You hosted a feast for me.
முதல் நாள்
ஒரு பார்வையில்
வரவழைத்தாய் அன்று
மறுநாள் ஒரு வார்த்தையில்
விருந்து வைத்தாய்
I will express my gratitude
To my eyes
For bringing you close to me.
நான் நன்றி
சொல்வேன் என்
கண்களுக்கு உன்னை
என் அருகே கொண்டு
வந்ததற்கு
As I keep expressing my gratitude
Why do I slowly forget myself?
நான் நன்றி
சொல்ல சொல்ல
நானும் மெல்ல
மெல்ல என்னை
