Searching for a place to rest on your lap

தொட்டுக் கொள்ள கட்டிக் கொள்ள
ஆசைக்கொண்ணும் பஞ்சமில்ல
அடங்காத ஒரு தாகம் எனக்கு
நீ வைக்கிற பொட்டுல வாசனை பூவுல
நானும் இருக்கேன் பக்கத்தில
From the touch of ten fingers
The pleasure derived was immense
To touch and to embrace
There is no shortage of desires
An unquenchable thirst within me
Male: In the bindi you wear and in the fragrant flower
I am also right there beside you
புள்ள புள்ள வயசு புள்ள
