சுகவாசி சுகவாசி
விடியிற வரையிலும் சுகவாசி
Pleasantly live a life of comfort
A pleasure seeker until dawn arrives
எனைவாசி எனைவாசி
அழகிய விழிகளில் எனைவாசி
Play me like an instrument, play me
Play me through your beautiful eyes
உறங்காத கண்களினாலே
மோதி வந்து தொலை யோசி
With sleepless eyes
Bump into me and think long-term
இதுபோல இன்பமும் ஏது
எந்திகொள்ளு விலைபேசி
What pleasure compares to this?
Embrace me and negotiate the price
சுகவாசி சுகவாசி
விடியிற வரையிலும் சுகவாசி
Pleasantly live a life of comfort
A pleasure seeker until dawn arrives
எனைவாசி எனைவாசி
அழகிய விழிகளில் எனைவாசி
Play me like an instrument, play me
Play me through your beautiful eyes

ஒரே கண்களை மூடும்
நல் இரவோடு
நாமோ கண்ணுறங்காமல்
கற்பனையோடு
When the whole town closes its eyes
In the good deep night
While we stay awake without sleep
With our imaginations
வாசம் தென்றலை சேரும்
முப்பது நாளும்
ஆசை சொல்வதை கேட்டால்
தேய்ந்துபோகாது தேகம்
Fragrance joins the gentle breeze
All thirty days of the month
If you listen to what desire says
The body will never wear away
டுவ

நிலவோடு பழகாத
ராத்திரி பொழுதில் சுகமெது
அழகோடு கரைவோமே
ஒவ்வொரு நொடியும் தொலைந்திடாது
Without befriending the moon
What bliss is there in the night time?
Let us dissolve into beauty
So that every second isn't lost in vain
தள்ளி இருக்காமல்
ஆஹ் ஆஹ்
தன்னை மறக்காமல்
ஆஅ ஆ
விலகாத போதை
விலையாகிப்போக நேசம் கொள்வோமா வா....

Come, let us love before it turns into play...

With sleepless eyes
Bump into me and think long-term

நேற்றை எண்ணுவதாலே
நிம்மதி இல்லை
By constantly dwelling on yesterday
There is no peace of mind
நாளை என்பதும்கூட
நிச்சியமில்லை
Even tomorrow
Is never guaranteed
வாழு இப்பொழுதே
நீ புன்னகையோடு
Live right in this present moment
With a smile on your face
யாவும் கைகளில் சேரும்
தேங்கிப்போகாமல் ஓடு
Everything will reach your hands
Keep running without stalling

பூமியில் எதுவும் தவறே இல்லை
Shall we dare to indulge in secret passion?
Nothing on this earth is wrong
எல்லைகள் மீறு
ஆ ஹா ஹா ஹா
