திறந்தேன் திறந்தேன்
நீ முட்டி திறந்தேன்
என்னுள்ளே நீ வந்து
தீ முட்ட திறந்தேன்
I opened up, I opened up
Because you knocked, I opened up
For you to enter inside me
And light a fire, I opened up
Frozen and asleep
Every cell inside me
Recites your name
For you to hear, I opened up
உறைந்தே உறங்கும்
என் உள்ளே செல் எல்லாம்
ஒப்பிக்கும் உன் பேரை
நீ கேட்க திறந்தேன்..
Is it a beehive
With no holes?
Is it your forest with no entry?
Is it a conference producing no result?
I thought it was your heart
Was it all a lie...?
தொலை தொலை என என்னை
நானே கேட்டு கொண்டேனே
என் மமதையிலே
நுழை நுழை உன்னை என
நானே மாற்றிகொண்டேனே..
என் சரியதயிலே
I opened up, I opened up
Because you knocked, I opened up
For you to enter inside me
And light a fire, I opened up
Frozen and asleep
Every cell inside me
Recites your name
For you to hear, I opened up
துளை ஏதும் இல்லாத
தேன் கூடோ
நுழை வேதும் இல்லாத
உன் காடோ
விளைவேதும் இல்லாத மனதோ
உன் இதயம் என
நினைத்திருந்தேன் பொய்தானோ....ஆ....
திறந்தேன் திறந்தேன்
நீ முட்டி திறந்தேன்
என்னுள்ளே நீ வந்து
தீ முட்ட திறந்தேன்
You stole my face
As per the screenplay...
You caressed my inner soul
Follow that till the end
உறைந்தே உறங்கும்
என் உள்ளே செல் எல்லாம்
ஒப்பிக்கும் உன் பேரை
நீ கேட்க திறந்தேன்
O woman, believing you were a recluse
Only like that
I was confused until today
...................
I renounce my asceticism...
முகத்தினை திருடினாய்
திரைகதை படி......
அகத்திணை வருடினாய்
அதை கடை பிடி..
Is it a beehive
With no holes?
Is it your forest with no entry?
Is it a conference producing no result?
I thought it was your heart
Was it all a lie...?
பெண்ணே உன்னை
துறவி என்றுதான்
இந்நாள் வரை குழம்பி போயினேன்..
துறவரம்.....துறக்கிறேன்..
I opened up, I opened up
Because you knocked, I opened up
For you to enter inside me
And light a fire, I opened up
Frozen and asleep
Every cell inside me
Recites your name
For you to hear, I opened up
துளை ஏதும் இல்லாத
தேன் கூடோ
நுழை வேதும் இல்லாத
உன் காடோ
விளைவேதும் இல்லாத மனதோ
உன் இதயம் என
நினைத்திருந்தேன் பொய்தானோ....ஆ....
Hearts saying hi

Kisses saying bye to lips
Kisses that pleasantly warm up
As two languages caress
Minimize the distance between us
திறந்தேன் திறந்தேன்
நீ முட்டி திறந்தேன்
என்னுள்ளே நீ வந்து

I granted you rights
Touch up to the clothes
Crossing boundaries
Break open the floodgates
உறைந்தே உறங்கும்
என் உள்ளே செல் எல்லாம்
ஒப்பிக்கும் உன் பேரை
நீ கேட்க திறந்தேன்...ஏ....
What was gathered across a thousand nights
You ask to borrow in just a second or two
Female: O peak of patience!

Is it a beehive
With no holes?
Is it your forest with no entry?
Is it a conference producing no result?

இதயங்கள் ஹாய் சொல்லும் சத்தங்கள்
இதழோடு பை சொல்லும் முத்தங்கள்
இதமாக சூடேறும் முத்தங்கள்
இரு மொழி வருட இடைவெளியை
கூறுங்கள்
I opened up, I opened up
Because you knocked, I opened up
For you to enter inside me
And light a fire, I opened up
Frozen and asleep
Every cell inside me
Recites your name
For you to hear, I opened up
உரிமைகள் வழங்கினேன்
உடை வரை தொடு
மறுங்குகள் மீறியே மடை உடைத்திடு
ஓராயிரம் இரவில் சேர்த்ததை
ஒர் ஈர் நொடி இரவல் கேட்கிறாய்..
பொறுமையின்....சிகரமே..
துளை ஏதும் இல்லாத
தேன் கூடோ
நுழை வேதும் இல்லாத
உன் காடோ
விளைவேதும் இல்லாத மனதோ
உன் இதயம் என
நினைத்திருந்தேன் பொய்தானோ....ஆ....
Drop by drop
As your glance descends into me
In smooth silk-like layers
My two wings begin to sprout
Patch by patch
As your love settles upon me
Set by set
Shower a rain of kisses
திறந்தேன் திறந்தேன்
நீ முட்டி திறந்தேன்
என்னுள்ளே நீ வந்து
தீ முட்ட திறந்தேன்
உறைந்தே உறங்கும்
என் உள்ளே செல் எல்லாம்
ஒப்பிக்கும் உன் பேரை
நீ கேட்க திறந்தேன்...ஏ....

சொட்டு சொட்டாக
உன் பார்வை என்னுள் இறங்க
பட்டு பட்டாக
என் ரெக்கை ரெண்டும் துளிர்க்க
திட்டு திட்டாக
உன் காதல் என்மேல் படிய
செட்டு செட்டாக
ஒரு முத்தத்தினை பொழிய
விசில் :
