{பால் பழம் இருக்க பசிக்கவில்லை
என்று அவர் சொல்ல
ஏன் என்று கேட்க கன்னி பருவம்
என்று என்னை அள்ள} (2)
Though milk and fruit were available
He said he was not hungry
When asked why
He gathered me in his arms, speaking of my youthful maidenhood
நீ சொல்ல நான் துள்ள
இனி என்ன நீ சொல்லு
நீ சொல்ல நான் துள்ள
இனி என்ன நீ சொல்லு
உள்ளம் தவிக்க உடலும் துடிக்க
இதழ்கள் இரண்டும் இணைய இணைய...
As you speak, I leap in excitement
Tell me, what comes next?
As you speak, I leap in excitement
Tell me, what comes next?
As the heart yearns and the body quivers
As both pairs of lips join together... join together...
நெனச்சு நெனச்சு மனசு மயங்குது

{நான் வெட்கம் கொள்ள
நாலு கண்கள் மாறி மாறி பேச
தேன் மழை பெய்ய
அவரும் நானும் ஆடிப்பாடி நனைந்தோம்} (2)
As I felt bashful
Four eyes conversed back and forth with each other
As a shower of honey rain poured down
He and I sang, danced, and got drenched in it
நீ சொல்ல நான் துள்ள
இனி என்ன நீ சொல்லு
நீ சொல்ல நான் துள்ள
இனி என்ன நீ சொல்லு
கன்னம் சிவக்க எண்ணம் இனிக்க
கொஞ்சி குலவி விடிய விடிய விடிய.....
As you speak, I leap in excitement
Tell me, what comes next?
As you speak, I leap in excitement
Tell me, what comes next?
With cheeks turning red and thoughts turning sweet
Cooing and fondling until the break of dawn...
