Oru naal iravu
Naan oli tharum nilavu
Pala naal kanavu
Idhu paruvathin ninaivu
Pudhu vidha bodhai
Puriyattum geethai
Paravasa nilai
Paavaiyin leelai
Malarnthidum dhegam
Nee mazhai tharum megam
Mangaiyin vaasam
Maalaiyinil veesum
Oru naal iravu
Naan oli tharum nilavu
Pala naal kanavu
Idhu paruvathin ninaivu
Vaadagai sorgam
Ival dhevathai vargam
Adhisaya maeni
Ragasiya raani
Madiyil nigazhum
Pudhu magarandha serkai
Manadhinil thavalum
Manmadha vetkai
Idhuvum oru vidha yaagam
Yedhilum illadha raagam
Iru vizhi mayangidum bothu
Nee enakkul sari oru baagam

Humming……
One single night,
I am the glowing moon.
A dream of many days,
this is a memory of youth.
A new kind of intoxication,
let the Gita (sacred song of wisdom) be understood.
A state of ecstasy,
the playful game of this beauty.
A body blossoming,
you are a cloud bringing rain.
A woman's fragrance
drifts in the evening breeze.
One single night,
I am the glowing moon.
A dream of many days,
this is a memory of youth.
A heaven for rent,
she belongs to an angelic kind.
A wondrous body,
a queen of secrets.
Happening on the lap,
a fresh pollination.
Crawling softly in the heart,
the desire of Manmatha (the god of love).
This too is a sacred ritual,
a melody unlike any other.
When both eyes are dazed with passion,
you become an equal half of me.
From the flowers on the saree,
the honey that gathers every day,
a honeybee that tastes it,
a wise master granting pleasure.
What was sought through penance,
what is received here is a boon.
The peacock feathers have unfolded,
sweet wine is needed now.
A thirst to drink only you,
a longing to embrace this woman.
Come, come, it is time for pleasure,
let us reach the sky of joy.
One single night,
I am the glowing moon.
A dream of many days,
this is a memory of youth.
A new kind of intoxication,
let the Gita (sacred song of wisdom) be understood.
A state of ecstasy,
the playful game of this beauty.
A body blossoming,
you are a cloud bringing rain.
A woman's fragrance
drifts in the evening breeze.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song is a sultry, poetic exploration of romance, intimate desire, and the intoxicating rush of youth. The female speaker compares herself to the shining moon brightening a dark night, fulfilling a dream held for days.

Throughout the track, romantic imagery such as honeybees, peacock feathers blooming, and a 'rented paradise' convey a dreamlike encounter between two lovers. It frames their passion not merely as physical attraction, but as a harmonious union of equal halves reaching a sky of pure bliss.
