I will never forget you even for a single day, my restless heart remains sleepless.
ஒரு நாளும் உன்னை மறவேனே
உறங்காது எந்தன் மனம்தானே
ஒரு நாளும் உன்னை மறவேனே
உறங்காது எந்தன் மனம்தானே

A silken lotus asks for a kiss; [Female]: The moment your fingers touch, my flower-like body breaks into a sweat every day.
ஒரு பட்டு தாமரை
முத்தம் கேட்குது ஹொய்யா
விரல் பட்டு பூவுடல்
நித்தம் வேர்க்குது ஹொய்யா
When the earth gazes at the sky every day with longing, won't the rain pour down? [Female]: Now I am the earth, won't it cool down as our souls unite completely from start to end?
மழைதான் தினம்
வானம் பார்த்து
நிலம் ஏங்கும்போது பொழியாதா
இனி நான் நிலம்
ஆதி அந்தம் மனம் கூடும்
வண்ணம் குளிராதா

This is the peak of love, two matching fates unite. Why keep anything in reserve now? Whom should we fear anymore?
காதலில் இது உச்சம் உச்சம்
கூடுது இரு மச்சம் மச்சம்
ஏனடி இதில் மிச்சம் மிச்சம்
யாரிடம் இனி அச்சம் அச்சம்
The four traditional virtues of modesty have stepped aside. It feels like heaven on earth—just looking at it intoxicates the mind.
நால்வகை வரம் வெட்கம் வெட்கம்
போனது ஒரு பக்கம் பக்கம்
பூமியில் ஒரு சொர்க்கம் சொர்க்கம்
பார்க்கையில் மனம் சொக்கும் சொக்கும்
The upper garment woven of fine thread... the body's skin is like soft milk cream. [Female]: When the plantain flower blooms, does it call out to the cool breeze? Does the horizon seek permission from the sea?
நூலாடை என்னும் மேலாடை
மேலாடை எங்கம் பாலாடை
மடல் வாழை பூத்தவுடன்
குளிர் காற்றை கூப்பிடுமா
கடல் நீரின் சம்மதத்தை
தொடுவானம் கேட்டிடுமா
Lala laa lala laa... I will never forget you even for a day, my restless heart remains sleepless.

மாவிதழ் ரெண்டு தொத்தும் தொத்தும்
மோகத்தில் தலை சுத்தும் சுத்தும்
The flower maiden's eyes are plotting a plan; it binds me in desire, dripping with pure joy.
பூமகள் விழி வட்டம் வட்டம்
போடுது ஒரு திட்டம் திட்டம்
ஆசையில் எனை கட்டும் கட்டும்
ஆனந்த ரசம் சொட்டும் சொட்டும்
Won't this stream speak? Won't it come and embrace your shoulders? [Male]: Is this the temple of Lord Kama? Is this a spell of love? Is this body a drum to beat a rhythm upon?
கூறாதோ இந்த நீரோடை
சேராதோ வந்து உன் தோளை
இது காமன் மண்டபமா
