{தித்திக்கும் தீயை
மூட்டிப்போனாய்
முத்தத்தில் போரை
மூட்டிப்போனாய்} (2)
{Sweet
You set fire and left
With a kiss
You ignited a war} (x2)
சுடச்சுடச்சுட
காய்ச்சல் அடிக்குது
தொடத்தொடத்தொட
கைகள் கொதிக்குது
உன்னாலே பெண்ணே உன்னாலே
Searing hot, hot
Fever strikes me
With every touch
My hands are boiling
Because of you, girl, because of you
படப்படப்பட
தேகம் கொதிக்குது
பலப்பலப்பல
விண்மீன் பறக்குது
உன்னாலே பெண்ணே உன்னாலே…
Pitter-patter fluttering
My body boils
Glittering and sparkling
Stars are flying
Because of you, girl, because of you
{தித்திக்கும் தீயை
மூட்டிப்போனாய்
முத்தத்தில் போரை
மூட்டிப்போனாய்} (2)
{Sweet
You set fire and left
With a kiss
You ignited a war} (x2)
முதன் முதலாய்
சறுக்க வைத்தாய்
தனிமையிலே சிரிக்க வைத்தாய்
பக்கத்திலே வந்து நின்றாய்
பஞ்சனையில் பங்குத்தந்தாய்
For the very first time
You made me slip
You made me laugh in loneliness
You came and stood near me
You shared the bed of cushions
புது உலகம் காட்டிவிட்டாய்
பெண் வெட்கம் போட்டுடைத்தாய்
உடல் கணிதம் பூட்டுடைத்தாய்
பூ உடலின் தாழ்த்திறந்தாய்
You showed me a new world
You broke a woman's shyness into pieces
You broke open the lock of bodily math
You unlocked the latch of the flower-like body
...................................................
...
இரண்டே இரண்டு
இதழைக் கொண்ட
அதிசயப்பூ நீ தானே
தேனைத்தேடும் வண்டாய் வந்து
தீயில் மாட்டிக்கொண்டேனே
Having only two petals
You are that miraculous flower
Coming as a beetle searching for honey
I got trapped in fire
தூரத்தில் தூரத்தில்
பூச்செண்டு நீதானே
பக்கத்தில் வந்தாலே
பூகம்பம் நீ தானே
From a distance, from a distance
You are a bouquet of flowers
If you come near
You are an earthquake
முக்கனி மூன்றும்
ஒன்றாய்க்காய்க்கும்
சர்க்கரை மரமும் நீதானே
கூடைக்கொண்டுப்
பறித்திட வந்தவன்
கூண்டுக்கிளியாய் ஆனேனே
Bearing the three royal fruits all at once
You are also a tree of sugar
I came with a basket to pluck
And became a caged parrot
பேரின்பம் எதுவென்றால்
பெண் என்று சொல்வேனே
பெரும் துன்பம் எதுவென்றால்
பெண் என்றே சொல்வேனே
If asked what supreme bliss is
I would say it is a woman
If asked what great sorrow is
I would say it is a woman
என் உடலை உருக வைத்தாய்
கண்ணெதிரே கரையவைத்தாய்
தொடும் போதே தொலையவைத்தாய்
தீ மழையில் நனைய வைத்தாய்
You melted my body
You made me dissolve before your eyes
You made me lose myself upon touching
You made me drench in a rain of fire

ஹோ… காதல் என்பது
கத்தியைப்போலே
குத்திக்குத்திக் கொன்றிடுமே
கண்கள் இரண்டும் கேடையமாக
தடுக்கும் போதும் வென்றிடுமே
Oh, love is like a knife
It stabs repeatedly and kills
Even if both eyes act as a shield
It conquers even when blocked
காயங்கள் இல்லாத
காமம் தான் இங்கேது
தீக்குச்சித் தீண்டாமல்
தீபங்கள் தோன்றாது
Without wounds
Where is lust/desire here?
Without a matchstick touching
Lamps do not light up
ஆண்களின் நெஞ்சம்
மிருகம் போலே
வேட்டையாட விரும்பிடுமே
பெண்கள் தேகம் அருகினில் வந்தால்
வெட்டுப்பட்டுத் திரும்பிடுமே
A man's heart is like a beast
It desires to hunt
When a woman's body comes near
It gets struck down and retreats
மோகங்கள் எப்போதும்
மின்சாரம் போல் ஆகும்
கை வைக்கும் போதெல்லாம்
நம் தேகம் தூலாகும்
Desires always
Become like electricity
Whenever hands touch
Our bodies turn into dust
இடைவெளிகள் தாண்டிவிட்டாய்
இடையினிலே தூண்டிவிட்டாய்
மகரந்த மழைக்கொடுத்தாய்
மறுஜென்மம் எடுக்கவைத்தாய்
You crossed all distances
You stirred passion at the waist
You gave a rain of pollen
You made me take another birth
{தித்திக்கும் தீயை
மூட்டிப்போனாய்
முத்தத்தில் போரை
மூட்டிப்போனாய்} (2)
{Sweet
You set fire and left
