பகலின் ஒரு தாகம் இரவில் அது தீரும்

A thirst of the day will be quenched at night

பகலின் ஒரு தாகம் இரவில் அது தீரும்...
A thirst of the day will be quenched at night
வந்த தாகம் இன்ப தாகம்

வந்த தாகம் இன்ப தாகம்
இங்கு வா தாகம் தீரும்

எப்போதுதான் மாறும்
The thirst that came is a thirst of pleasure
Come here, the thirst will be quenched
The thirst that came is a thirst of pleasure
Come here, the thirst will be quenched
That desire that comes crashing in
When will it ever change?
வளர்வதோ சுகம்தனில்
வளைவதோ மனங்களை
வரும்வரை பொறுங்களேன்
வனத்திலே இணைந்து பாருங்களேன்........
Growing in pleasure,
Bending the minds,
Please wait until it arrives
Come and experience joining together!

பஞ்சு பூவில் பட்டுப் பூச்சி
தொட்டதும் ஆசை வரும்
கொஞ்சம் நீயும் வஞ்சியோடு
கொஞ்சினால் இன்பமாகும்
Like silk soft upon a cotton flower
Desire awakens upon a single touch
If you snuggle a little with the maiden
It becomes pure bliss
குளிரிலே வியர்த்ததா
கோடையில் குளிர்ந்ததா
இரண்டுமே கிடைத்தது
இரவிலே இணையும் தாலாட்டிலே
Did it sweat in the cold?
Did it feel cool in the summer?
Both sensations were obtained
In the night's uniting lullaby
தங்கமேனி இந்த ராணி
அங்கமோ நூறு பாவம்
பொங்கும் மோகம் எந்தநாளும்
பொங்கினால் எனைத்தேடும்
This queen with a golden body
Her body exhibits a hundred expressions
Overflowing passion every day
When it overflows, it searches for me
தங்கமேனி இந்த ராணி
அங்கமோ நூறு பாவம்
பொங்கும் மோகம் எந்தநாளும்
பொங்கினால் எனைத்தேடும்
This queen with a golden body
Her body exhibits a hundred expressions
Overflowing passion every day
When it overflows, it searches for me
குறுகுறு பார்வையில் குளுகுளு அறையில்
முழுதுமே பழக வா பருவ நீராட வா......
With a sharp gaze inside a cool room
Come to know completely, come to bathe in youth!
பகலின் ஒரு தாகம் இரவில் அது தீரும்
பாவைகள் என்னும்
பன்னீரில் ஆடும் நேரம் இதுதானே
