Is this the enchanting twilight hour?
Come, come, let us join hands.
Is this a hunt played out by two pairs of eyes?
Come, come, so our bodies can unite.
Will lips speak to eyes?
Will youthful romance unite in my hands?
Will a heart singing ghazals yearn like this?
Can the heart sleep even for a second?
O fire, O fire, gorgeous Rathi (goddess of beauty), sweet one!
With every touch, you melt away completely!
O fire, O fire, goddess of beauty, you twin fire!
Endlessly, endlessly, you unite with me!
Hey Rangani, Rangani, Rangani!
Soak me in rum!
From now on, seductive beauty, Kamini!
Dance close to me without quite touching!
Ripe sweet mango, mango, mango!
The heat given off by your two cheeks!
Taking my breath away, you take it, you take it!
This is a forest of the night, go hunt for your prey!
O fire, O fire, gorgeous Rathi (goddess of beauty), sweet one!
With every touch, you melt away completely!
O fire, O fire, goddess of beauty, you twin fire!
Endlessly, endlessly, you unite with me!
Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh!
If you are a beautiful word,
then your shyness is the full stop.
If I slowly begin to describe you,
even my eyes will stand transfixed in a trance.
Electricity surges through a woman without atomic decay,
and the beauty of her lips shines like a two-line poem.
Ah, when the upper lip and the lower lip
are made wet with desire,
the soul rushes down from top to bottom,
feeling sensations beyond words!
This is the passion that lingers
between a gentle touch and temptation.
Moving forward to drown in the honey of a kiss!
O fire, O fire... never-ending!
O fire, O fire, gorgeous Rathi (goddess of beauty), sweet one!
With every touch, you melt away completely!
O fire, O fire, goddess of beauty, you twin fire!
Endlessly, endlessly, you unite with me!
Hara hara harasara
Hara hara hammarey
Hara hara harasara
Hara hara hamme
This is how we like to do it
This is how we like to do it
Perfect, flawless limbs
press closely against the chest.
Sins committed without holding back
tell us to flirt and play.
You have plenty of swaying charms,
and I have an abundance of dazzling tricks.
A rainbow that sprouted on one leg,
I saw by the roadside.
In that walking garden of flowers,
I saw a gentle drizzle fall.
Smiling like a sprinkle of snow,
I saw a bird!
I saw eyes where fire and honey meet!
O fire, O fire, gorgeous Rathi (goddess of beauty), sweet one!
With every touch, you melt away completely!
O fire, O fire, goddess of beauty, you twin fire!
Endlessly, endlessly, you unite with me!
Hey Rangani, Rangani, Rangani!
Soak me in rum!
From now on, seductive beauty, Kamini!
Dance close to me without quite touching!
Ripe sweet mango, mango, mango!
The heat given off by your two cheeks!
Taking my breath away, you take it, you take it!
This is a forest of the night, go hunt for your prey!
O fire, O fire, gorgeous Rathi (goddess of beauty), sweet one!
Female: With every touch, you melt away completely!
Male: O fire, O fire, goddess of beauty, you twin fire!
Female: Endlessly, endlessly, you unite with me!
Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh!
Female: With every touch, you melt away completely!
Male: Oh, oh, oh!
Oh, oh, oh!
Female: Endlessly, endlessly, you unite with me!

Poetic devices
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Theeye theeye ratheeye inithiyae / Theenda theenda theernthiyae”
Repetition of the initial 'Th' sound across adjacent words creates a rhythmic and melodic flow.
Metaphor (Uruvagamm)
“Oru kaal mulaitha vaanavillai saalaiyoram kanden”
The lover is poetically visualized as a rainbow that grew a leg and walked on the roadside.
Edhukai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Uraiyamal seidha angangal / Kuraiyamal seidha paavangal”
The second consonant 'rai' matches in consecutive lines, adding structural harmony.
