The heart sings
Come, come, so a river of honey flows in my heart
நாணம் வந்து ஆசை மீது திரைப் போட்டபோது
சொல்லிக் கொள்ள அச்சம் கொண்டு துடித்தாளே மாது
மங்கை உந்தன் நாணம் தீர மலர்க் கோடி தந்தேன்
இளங்காதல் வானில் நீந்த ரதம் கொண்டு வந்தேன்
When modesty comes and veils desire
Fearing to express herself, she trembled with emotion
Male: To dispel your shyness, young woman, I gave a flowering creeper
I brought a chariot to float in the sky of young love
உறவுகள் உண்டாகுமே.....
இரவுகள் திண்டாடுமே
உறவுகள் உண்டாகுமே.....
இரவுகள் திண்டாடுமே
என் நெஞ்சிலே......
தேனாறுதான்...
பாய்ந்தோடவே...வா..வா..

Female: Come, come, to flow swiftly
தென்றல் தேடும் பூவைப் போலே உனைத் தேடி வந்தேன்
கண்ணே உன்னைக் காணும்போது சொர்க்கம் ஒன்று கண்டேன்
உந்தன் தோளில் ஆடும் சோலை மயிலாகி நின்றேன்
மன்னன் கைகள் வீணை மீட்ட மலர்மேனி தந்தேன்
Like a breeze seeking a flower, I came searching for you
My darling, when I see you, I behold a heaven
Female: I stood like a garden peacock dancing on your shoulder
I surrendered my flower-like body for the king's hands to play like a veena
கருவிழி பந்தாடட்டும்....
கனியுடல் ஒன்றாகட்டும்
கருவிழி பந்தாடட்டும்....
கனியுடல் ஒன்றாகட்டும்
