Paal konda annam en pasi theerkkum munnam

This cannot end in just one day; being close is so sweet.
This cannot end in just one day; being close is so sweet.
The joy this bed promises captivates the heart.
The joy this bed promises captivates the heart.
This beginning is golden...
This cannot end in just one day; being close is so sweet.
Before this fair swan satisfies my hunger,
Before this fair swan satisfies my hunger,
Let our lips paint a picture.
Across her slender waist, my hands will wander,
Across her slender waist, my hands will wander,
Let a new love story blossom.
The youth fluttering beneath the silk will win here,
The youth fluttering beneath the silk will win here,
Without turning the page, it cannot be understood...
This cannot end in just one day; being close is so sweet.
With hair like rain clouds and a body sweet as ripe fruit,
With hair like rain clouds and a body sweet as ripe fruit,
Let it embrace my body.
Look over here, at our heaven of supreme joy,
Look over here, at our heaven of supreme joy,
Let a shower of sweet honey pour down.
Shyness will leave, and passion will hold us tight,
Shyness will leave, and passion will hold us tight,
That first trial run is so pleasant...
This cannot end in just one day; being close is so sweet.
The joy this bed promises captivates the heart.
This beginning is golden...
This cannot end in just one day; being close is so sweet.
