சொர்க்கம் தெரிகிறது அதிலே
சொர்க்கம் தெரிகிறது அதிலே
சுகமும் இருக்கிறது
Heaven can be seen in it

There is pleasure in it too
வெட்கம் வருகிறது அதையே
விடவும் சொல்கிறது.....

Shyness comes over me
Yet it asks me to leave shyness behind

Yet it asks me to leave shyness behind
செவ்வாய்க்கிழமை உறவு வச்சா
நல்லா இருக்குமா
செவ்வாய்க்கிழமை உறவு வச்சா

செவந்து கிடக்கும் உடம்பு
எங்கும் பறந்து போகுமா...ஆ....
If we share intimacy on a Tuesday
Will it be good?
If we share intimacy on a Tuesday
Will it be good?
Will this reddened body of mine
Fly away everywhere into ecstasy?
கோவை இதழில் ஊறும்
தேனை குடிக்க வேண்டுமா......ஆ.....
டிக்கும் டிக்கும் டிக்கும்
குடிக்க குடிக்க மயக்கம் பிறக்கும்
உனக்குத் தெரியுமா
ஏய்...குடிக்க குடிக்க மயக்கம் பிறக்கும்
உனக்குத் தெரியுமா
From lips like the red ivy-gourd fruit
Do you want to drink the dripping honey?
Thump thump thump
As you drink and drink, intoxication is born
Do you know that?
Hey... as you drink and drink, intoxication is born

Shyness comes over me
Yet it asks me to leave shyness behind
ஹேய் பெரிய வீடு வேணும்னு
பார்த்து பிடிச்சியா
பேசி பேசி பொழுது போக்க
மெத்தை விரிச்சியா
Hey, did you look for and pick
A big house because you wanted one?
Just to talk and talk and pass the time
Did you lay out the bed?
மயக்கத்திலே உருண்டு புரள
மருந்து கொடுத்தியா
மாத்தி மாத்தி நானும் குடிப்பேன்
ஊத்திக் கொடுப்பியா......
சும்மா சும்மா நானும் குடிப்பேன்
ஊத்திக் கொடுப்பியா......
To roll and toss in a spellbound trance
Did you give me a magic potion?
I will drink again and again in turns
Will you pour it for me?
I will keep drinking just like that
Will you pour it for me?
சொர்க்கம் தெரிகிறது அதிலே
சுகமும் இருக்கிறது

Shyness comes over me
Yet it asks me to leave shyness behind
பெங்களூரில் அடைச்ச பாட்டில்
இங்கே உடையுது
எங்களூரில் இருந்த பொண்ணு
இங்கே வளையுது
The bottle sealed in Bangalore
Is being opened here
The girl who belonged to our town
Is swaying gracefully here
பெங்களூரில் அடைச்ச பாட்டில்
இங்கே உடையுது
எங்களூரில் இருந்த பொண்ணு
இங்கே வளையுது
In the world created by drinking wine
What comes to light?
Thump thump thump
That no human remains truly human
I understand now
That no human remains truly human
I understand now
மது குடிச்ச உலகத்திலே
என்ன தெரியுது....ஊ....ஊ...
டிக்கும் டிக்கும் டிக்கும்
மனுஷன் இல்லே என்பதுதான்
எனக்குப் புரியுது......
மனுஷன் இல்லே என்பதுதான்
எனக்குப் புரியுது......
Heaven can be seen in it
There is pleasure in it too
சொர்க்கம் தெரிகிறது அதிலே
சுகமும் இருக்கிறது
