சொர்க்கமா வேண்டுமா
அள்ளி அள்ளி தந்திடுவேன் போதுமா

கண்ணிரெண்டில் மின்னுவது போதையா
உன்னை தள்ளி விட நானும் என்ன சீதையா.....ஆ....

என்னை பாரு கொஞ்சம் காமனாடும் மஞ்சம்
சிங்கார சல்லாப கூடம்
என்னை பாரு கொஞ்சம் காமனாடும் மஞ்சம்

காதல் தேரோட்டம் போகும் வெள்ளோட்டம்
என்றும் காணாத இன்பக் கொண்டாட்டம்
Look at me a little, a bed where Cupid plays
A hall of decorative intimacy
Look at me a little, a bed where Cupid plays
A hall of decorative intimacy
Love's chariot procession goes on a trial run
A celebration of bliss never seen before
நாளை நாளை என்று நீயும் தள்ளாதே
நாளும் போனால் காலம் இங்கு நில்லாதே
Do not postpone it saying tomorrow and tomorrow
As days pass, time will not stand still here

தங்கமேனி பாவை இன்னுமென்ன பார்வை
தேன் கூட்டில் உல்லாசம் தேடு
தங்கமேனி பாவை இன்னுமென்ன பார்வை
தேன் கூட்டில் உல்லாசம் தேடு
ஆறு என்றாலும் நூறு என்றாலும்
ஆசை போகாது நேரம் போதாது......
Golden-bodied maiden, what is that look still?
Seek pleasure in the honeycomb

Seek pleasure in the honeycomb
Whether it is six or a hundred
Desire grows, time is never enough

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Sorkkamaa Vendumaa is a seductive dance song from the 1982 film Kadavulukku Oru Kaditham, composed by Shankar-Ganesh and rendered by Vani Jairam. The song features a woman tempting her companion to embrace passion and sensory joy without hesitation, promising to grant him heaven-like bliss in abundance. Through imagery of Cupid's bed, honeycombs, and chariot trials, lyricist Muthulingam emphasizes the concept of seizing the moment (carpe diem). She urges her lover not to delay love for tomorrow, reminding him that life is fleeting and time waits for no one.
