பட்டு வண்ண ரோஜா பூவில் செய்த தேகம்
தொட்டு தொட்டு லேசா கிள்ளி பார்க்க வேண்டும்
கண்கள் ரெண்டும் கண்கள் அல்ல காமசாஸ்திரம்
A body crafted like a silk-colored rose flower
One must touch it softly and pinch it gently to see
Both eyes are not just eyes, they are the treatise of love
பட்டு வண்ண ரோஜா பூவில் செய்த தேகம்
தொட்டு தொட்டு லேசா கிள்ளி பார்க்க வேண்டும்
கண்கள் ரெண்டும் கண்கள் அல்ல காமசாஸ்திரம்
A body crafted like a silk-colored rose flower
One must touch it softly and pinch it gently to see
Both eyes are not just eyes, they are the treatise of love
அங்கம் அல்ல தங்க மாளிகை
யாரும் இங்கு தங்கலாம்
இன்பம் என்னும் அன்பு வாடகை
தந்துவிட்டு செல்லலாம்
எங்கு எங்கு என்ன என்ன
இன்று பார்க்க வேண்டுமா
யாரும் என்னை பார்த்த பின்னே
கண்கள் மூட தோன்றுமா
Not just limbs, but a golden palace
Anyone can stay here
Paying affection called pleasure as the rent
They can pay it and leave
Where, where, what, what
Do you want to see today?
After anyone looks at me
Would they ever feel like closing their eyes?
என்னை தீண்டும் தென்றல் காத்து
அது தீயை மூட்டிப் போச்சு
இதழ் தேனை கொஞ்சம் ஊத்து
The gentle breeze touching me
It ignited a fire
Pour a little honey from your lips
பட்டு வண்ண ரோஜா பூவில் செய்த தேகம்
தொட்டு தொட்டு லேசா கிள்ளி பார்க்க வேண்டும்
கண்கள் ரெண்டும் கண்கள் அள்ள காமசாஸ்திரம்
A body crafted like a silk-colored rose flower
One must touch it softly and pinch it gently to see
Both eyes are not just eyes, they are the treatise of love
பட்டு வண்ண ரோஜா பூவில் செய்த தேகம்
தொட்டு தொட்டு லேசா கிள்ளி பார்க்க வேண்டும்
A body crafted like a silk-colored rose flower
One must touch it softly and pinch it gently to see
ஆடைக் கூட எந்தன் மேனியில்
மெல்ல ஒட்டிக்கொண்டது
நூலில் நெய்த ஆடைக்கென்னவோ
ஆசை வேகம் வந்தது
காமம் என்னும் பாவம் தீர்க்கும்
பொய்கை ஒன்று காணலாம்
ஏய் காலை மாலை ஏதும் இன்றி
ஆடும்போது ஆடலாம்
Even the dress on my body
Has slowly clung to me
I wonder why the dress woven from thread
Developed a rush of desire
Washing away the sin called lust
A lake can be seen
Hey, without any distinction of morning or evening
When it is time to dance, we can dance
என்னைப் பார்க்க கண்கள் ஏங்கும்
அதில் ஆசை மூச்சு வாங்கும்
இனி ஆண்மை எங்கு தூங்கும்
Eyes long to catch a glimpse of me
In that longing, desire pants for breath
Where can manhood sleep anymore?
பட்டு வண்ண ரோஜா பூவில் செய்த தேகம்
தொட்டு தொட்டு லேசா கிள்ளி பார்க்க வேண்டும்
