காதலில் நானொரு காவியம்} (2)
Consent, mm mm mm
Expressing it through gestures is my nature
Knock, and it shall be opened

ஆடுவது அத்தை மகளென்று
தேடுவது மெத்தை சுகமென்று
கூடுவதில் கொண்டாட்டம் உண்டாகலாம்

காதலில் நானொரு காவியம்
Thinking that the one dancing is a cousin
Searching for the comfort of the bed
Joining together may bring celebration

நில்லுங்கள் முன்னே இன்று
சொல்லுங்கள் பின்னே என்று
கேளுங்கள் ஒன்றே ஒன்று
பின்னுங்கள் பிறக்கட்டும்
பெண்மையில் நானொரு ஓவியம்
It gives a sweet taste with tenderness
This gives a sweet taste with tenderness
It gives a sweet taste with tenderness
This gives a sweet taste with tenderness
Stand before me today
Address me as a woman

எதுவரை மனமது வரும்
அதுவரை உடன் இது வரும்
எதுவரை மனமது வரும்
அதுவரை உடன் இது வரும்
சந்தித்தால் அந்த சொர்க்கம்
சிந்தித்தால் கொஞ்சம் வெட்கம்
தேனூறும் திங்கள் வண்ணம்
பாவங்கள் குலுங்கட்டும்.......
பார்வையின் லீலைகள் ஆயிரம்
As far as the mind reaches, it will go
Until then, this body will follow
As far as, oh, the mind reaches, it will go
Until then, this body will follow
If we meet, that is paradise
If we reflect, a little shyness appears
A honeyed moon-like complexion
Let graceful expressions ripple
A thousand playful glances of the eyes
