As I touch you here and there,
Your limbs grow warm and passionate,
As your flower-like body wilts in my embrace,
அம்மம்மா ஓஹ் சிலிர்க்குது
எங்கெங்கேயோ இனிக்குது
ஆசை தேனாறு ஊறுமோ....
Oh my, a shudder of excitement runs through!
Sweetness trickles in unknown ways,
Will a river of desire honey flow?
அன்னம் கொஞ்சம் பக்கம் வந்தால்
இன்னும் இன்னும் தித்திக்கும்
மன்னன் இன்னும் சொல்லி தந்தால்
இன்பமெல்லாம் சந்திக்கும்.....
If the swan comes a little closer,
It will grow sweeter and sweeter!

What solitude or intimacy could excel this?
எல்லாம் இன்று புரிந்தது
சொர்க்கம் ஒன்று தெரிந்தது
மேலும் நான் கூற வேண்டுமோ
Everything became clear today,
A realm of heaven was revealed,
Should I join with you even further?
கட்டிக் கொண்டும் ஒட்டிக் கொண்டும்
கற்றுக் கொண்ட பாடங்கள்
கன்னிப் பெண்ணின் நெஞ்சில் நிற்கும்
காதல் தேவன் வேதங்கள்...
Hugging tightly and sticking close,
These are the lessons learned,
Female: Remaining in the heart of a young maiden,
They are the sacred scriptures of the God of Love!
