போதை ஏற்றும் பூவே
பாவம் பாரு பூவே
Flower
Oh flower, flower, flower
Oh flower that causes intoxication
Oh flower, take pity on me
உன்ன பார்த்ததும்
கண்ண கட்டுதே
ஏதோ செய்கிறாய் கிராதகி
மின்னல் போலவே
என்னுள் பாய்கிறாய்
உஷ்னம் ஆகிறேன் நானடி
As soon as I look at you
My eyes get blindfolded
You are doing something to me, cruel beauty
Like a flash of lightning
You rush into me
I am becoming warm, my dear

As soon as I look at you
My eyes get blindfolded
You are doing something to me, cruel beauty
Like a flash of lightning
You rush into me
I am becoming warm, my dear
I am, my dear, I am, my dear
உலகம் முழுதும் பறந்து
இரவும் பகலும் அலைந்து
தேடி பார்த்தேன் உனைபோல்
அழகி இல்லையே....ஏ....
Flying all across the world
Wandering day and night
I searched, but like you
There is no beauty...
உளவு துறையாய் நுழைந்து
உனது உடலில் இருந்து
புதிது புதிதாய் புதையல்
எடுக்க ஆசையே
Entering like a secret agent
From within your body
Brand new hidden treasures
I desire to unearth
இலை போல உன்னுடல் பெண்ணே
பரிமாற வேண்டும் என்னை
தேவி பிரசாதம் என திண்பேன்
உன் பாதம் பட்ட மண்ணை
அழகில் விழுந்தேன்
விழுந்தேன் நான் நான் நான்
Your body is like a plantain leaf, girl
You should serve me upon it
I will eat like divine offering
The soil touched by your feet
I fell for your beauty
I fell, I did, I did
உன்ன பார்த்ததும்
கண்ண கட்டுதே
ஏதோ செய்கிறாய் கிராதகி
மின்னல் போலவே
என்னுள் பாய்கிறாய்
உஷ்னம் ஆகிறேன் நானடி
As soon as I look at you
My eyes get blindfolded
You are doing something to me, cruel beauty
Like a flash of lightning
You rush into me
I am becoming warm, my dear

Flower
Oh flower, flower, flower
Oh flower that causes intoxication
Oh flower, take pity on me
உணர்வை தூண்டும் உதடு
உரசி பார்க்க உதவு
திறக்கும் இளமை கதவு
வாச முல்லையே
Lips that arouse feelings
Help me to press against them
The door of youth that opens
Oh fragrant jasmine flower
இடையில் அழகாய் வளைவு
மேலே பார்த்தேன் நிலவு
ரசித்து முடிக்கும் வரையில்
பொறுமை இல்லையே
A beautiful curve at the waist
Above, I saw the moon
Until I finish admiring it
I have no patience
ஒரு பார்வை வீசினால் போதும்
உயிர் தீயில் வெந்திடாதா
நீ போடும் ஆடையின் வாசம்
ஒரு மோட்சம் தந்திடாதா
உடலா கடலா
தொலைந்தேன் நான் நான் நான்
If you cast just one glance, is it enough?
Won't my soul burn in fire?
The fragrance of the dress you wear
Won't it grant eternal bliss?
Is it a body or an ocean?
I am lost, I am, I am
உன்ன பார்த்ததும்
கண்ண கட்டுதே
ஏதோ செய்கிறாய் கிராதகி
மின்னல் போலவே
என்னுள் பாய்கிறாய்
உஷ்னம் ஆகிறேன் நானடி
நானடி நானடி நானடி நானடி
