Haan….rajaththi needhaan roja poovae
Vandaaga vanthaen naan ingae
You are the queen, my lovely rose
I have come here like a honeybee
I am your queen, touch me gently
Caress this rose-like body of mine
My heart is torn, my body has grown slender as a thread
My heart is torn, my body has grown slender as a thread
I saw a tender vine
I saw it in your waist
I saw your graceful walk
And gave my heart away to it
A sweet dizziness overcomes me
Why do you still hesitate?
I am your queen, touch me gently
Caress this rose-like body of mine
My heart is torn, my body has grown slender as a thread
Won't the sky put up a canopy of flowers today?
Won't golden clouds come here to bless us?
Won't the sky put up a canopy of flowers today?
Won't golden clouds come here to bless us?
When the clouds arrive, an endless thirst awakens
When passion rises, my body can hardly bear it
When the clouds arrive, an endless thirst awakens
When passion rises, my body can hardly bear it
I have youth on my side
I will give you pure joy
You are the queen, my lovely rose
I have come here like a honeybee
When you blow the white conch of love
Let the wedding tune play in my ears
When you blow the white conch of love
Let the wedding tune play in my ears
As the golden moon shines its light here
Let a garden of joy sway in our hearts
As the golden moon shines its light here
Let a garden of joy sway in our hearts
A sweet dizziness overcomes me
Why do you still hesitate?
I am your queen, touch me gently
Caress this rose-like body of mine
My heart is torn, my body has grown slender as a thread
My heart is torn, my body has grown slender as a thread
I saw a tender vine
I saw it in your waist
I saw your graceful walk
And gave my heart away to it
A sweet dizziness overcomes me
Why do you still hesitate?
Ah... you are the queen, my lovely rose
I have come here like a honeybee
