My beloved, my beloved... I saw myself in your eyes.
கண் மூடினாள்
கண் மூடினாள் அந்நேரமும்
உன்னை கண்டேன்
When I close my eyes, when I close my eyes... I see you even then.
ஒரு விரல்
என்னை தொடுகையில்
உயிர் நிறைகிறேன் அழகா
When one finger touches me, I am filled with life, handsome one.
மறு விரல் வந்து
தொடுகையில் விட்டு
விலகுதல் அழகா
When another finger touches me, is stepping back a beauty in itself?
உயிர் கொண்டு
வாழும் நாள் வரை இந்த
உறவுகள் வேண்டும்
மன்னவா
My king, I desire this bond for as long as I live.

போனால் என்ன
What if my soul leaves my body right at this moment?
முத்தத்திலே
பலவகை உண்டு இன்று
சொல்லட்டுமா கணக்கு
There are many kinds of kisses; shall I count them for you today?
இப்படியே என்னை
கட்டி கொள்ளு மெல்ல
விடியட்டும் கிழக்கு
Hold me tight like this, while the east slowly dawns.
அச்சம் பட வேண்டாம்
பெண்மையே எந்தன்
ஆண்மையில் உண்டு
மென்மையே
Do not fear, oh womanhood; there is gentleness in my masculinity.
