One night's darkness
I am the moon giving light
A dream of many days
This is the memory of youth
ஒரு நாள் இரவு
நான் ஒளி தரும் நிலவு
பல நாள் கனவு
இது பருவத்தின் நினைவு
A new kind of intoxication
Let the message be understood
A state of ecstasy
The playfulness of a maiden
புது வித போதை
புரியட்டும் கீதை
பரவச நிலை
பாவையின் லீலை
A body blooming like a flower
You are the rain-bearing cloud
A woman's sweet fragrance
Wrafts through the evening air
மலர்ந்திடும் தேகம்
நீ மழை தரும் மேகம்
மங்கையின் வாசம்
மாலையினில் வீசும்
One night's darkness
I am the moon giving light
A dream of many days
This is the memory of youth
ஒரு நாள் இரவு
நான் ஒளி தரும் நிலவு
பல நாள் கனவு
இது பருவத்தின் நினைவு
A rented heaven
She belongs to the realm of angels
A wondrous physique
A queen of secrets
வாடகை சொர்கம்
இவள் தேவதை வர்க்கம்
அதிசய மேனி
ரகசிய ராணி
Happening upon the lap
A new cross-pollination of blossoms
Crawling within the mind
The intense desire of Cupid
மடியில் நிகழும்
புது மகரந்த சேர்க்கை
மனதினில் தவழும்
மன்மத வேட்க்கை
This too is a sacred ritual fire
A melody unlike any other
When both eyes get entranced
You become an exact equal half within me
இதுவும் ஒரு வித யாகம்
எதிலும் இல்லாத ராகம்
இரு விழி மயங்கிடும் போது
நீ எனக்குள் சரி ஒரு பாகம்
In the flower of the saree
Honey that seeps every day
The honeybee that tastes it
A wise one who offers bliss
சேலையின் பூவில்
தினம் ஊறிடும் தேனை
சுவைத்திடும் தேனி
சுகம் தரும் ஞானி
Penance that called out
A boon received right here
The peacock feathers have unfurled
The essence of sweet wine is needed
அழைத்தது தவம்
இங்கு கிடைத்தது வரம்
மலர்ந்தது தோகை
மது ரசம் தேவை
A thirst to drink only you
A passion to embrace the woman
Come, come, it is a time of pleasure
Let us go to the sky of happiness
உனையே பருகிட தாகம்
பெண்ணை தழுவிட மோகம்
வா வா உல்லாச நேரம்
போவோம் சந்தோஷ வானம்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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. Through metaphors of rain-bearing clouds, flower pollination, and divine rituals, the song celebrates physical closeness and emotional harmony as an exquisite, elevated experience. 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.
