ஆசை நெருப்பென எரிய ஏய்
ஆடை இடுப்பினில் நழுவ ஏய்
மொத்தத்திலே நிக்குதொரு செப்புச் சிலை
எப்ப வந்து கொட்டும் இந்த கோடை மழை
ஏதோ ஏதோ தண்ணீர் தாகம் உன்னால் தீரும்

Garments slip away from the waist, hey!
Standing completely uncovered like a bronze statue,
When will this summer rain pour down and cool me?

மானம் எனக்கில்லை உனக்கேன் வா
நானும் இருப்பதை கொடுப்பேன் வா
பள்ளியறை கொண்டிருக்கு பஞ்சு மெத்தை
நள்ளிரவு சொல்லித் தரும் தத்துவத்தை
பார்த்தேன் கேட்டேன் உன்னால்தானே கண்டேன்
I have shed my inhibitions, why hold back? Come!
I will give you everything I have, come!
The bedchamber holds a soft cotton mattress,
The dark midnight will teach us life's philosophy.
I saw, I heard, and only through you did I discover it!
