ஒரு ஆணும்
இட்டுக் கொள்ளும் முத்தம்
இது பூவும் பூவும்
மோதிக் கொள்ளும் சத்தம்
இது பட்டுப் போன்ற தேகம்
விரல் தொட்டுப் பார்க்க நோகும்
இவள் சிரித்ததும் சிவந்து விடும்
A man and a woman
Sharing a kiss
This is the sound of two flowers
Gently colliding together
This body is soft like silk
It hurts even if touched by a finger
She blushes as soon as she smiles
ஒரு ஆணும் பெண்ணும்
இட்டுக் கொள்ளும் முத்தம்
இது பூவும் பூவும்
மோதிக் கொள்ளும் சத்தம்
இவன் மஞ்சம் போடும் மன்னன்
இவன் கொஞ்சும் போது கண்ணன்
என் உயிர்வரை பருகியவன்
A man and a woman
Sharing a kiss
This is the sound of two flowers
Gently colliding together
He is the king who sets the marital bed
He is like Lord Krishna when he caresses me
He is the one who drank me to my very soul
உன்னை எண்ணித்தானே என் வீட்டில்
நந்தவனம் என்று செடி நட்டு வைக்கிறேன்
Thinking only of you in my house,
I plant saplings calling it a flower garden
உன்னை எண்ணித்தானே கண்ணாளா
படுக்கையில் பாதியிடம் விட்டுவைக்கிறேன்
Thinking only of you, my beloved,
I reserve half of my bed for you
என்னை உனக்குள் தொலைத்து விட்டேன்
இந்தக் கன்னியே எண்ணி எண்ணியே
இளைத்து விட்டேன்
I have lost myself within you
Constantly thinking of this young maiden,
I have grown thin and weak
என் கொம்புத்தேனே
உனை நம்பித்தானே
என் தங்கக் கூண்டைத் தாண்டி வந்தேனே
Oh my rare honey on the high branch,
Trusting only in you,
I stepped out beyond my golden cage
ஒரு ஆணும் பெண்ணும்
இட்டுக் கொள்ளும் முத்தம்
இது பூவும் பூவும்
மோதிக் கொள்ளும் சத்தம்
A man and a woman
Sharing a kiss
This is the sound of two flowers
Gently colliding together
Female: He is the king who sets the marital bed
He is like Lord Krishna when he caresses me
He is the one who drank me to my very soul
இவன் மஞ்சம் போடும் மன்னன்
இவன் கொஞ்சும் போது கண்ணன்
என் உயிர்வரை பருகியவன்
Whenever I speak your name,
Honey secretes within me as I pronounce it
உந்தன் பேரைச் சொன்னால் எந்நாளும்
உள்ளுக்குள்ளே தேன் சுரக்கும் உச்சரிக்கிறேன்
What about the kiss you gave me earlier?
I warn you to return it right now with interest!
தந்த முத்தம் என்ன இப்போதே
வட்டியிட்டுத் தந்துவிடு எச்சரிக்கிறேன்
I have stepped into the ocean of bliss
I got completely drenched and forgot to dive for pearls
இன்பக் கடலில் இறங்கி விட்டேன்
நனைந்து விட்டேன் முத்துக் குளிக்க மறந்து விட்டேன்
Oh my sweet maiden honey, I have forgiven you
Come pay your romantic tribute on my bed
என் கன்னித் தேனே உனை மன்னித்தேனே
என் கட்டில் மீது கப்பம் கட்ட வா
A man and a woman
Sharing a kiss
This is the sound of two flowers
Gently colliding together
ஒரு ஆணும் பெண்ணும்
இட்டுக் கொள்ளும் முத்தம்
இது பூவும் பூவும்
மோதிக் கொள்ளும் சத்தம்
Hahha..
ஹஹ்ஹ....
She blushes as soon as she smiles
இவள் சிரித்ததும் சிவந்து விடும்
