உல்லாச சொர்க்கமோ இதென்ன முத்தமோ
எப்போதும் கிட்டுமோ இப்போது மட்டுமோ
வயசு எட்டிப் பாக்கும் உன்னை
மனசு கட்டிப் போடும் என்னை...
வயசு எட்டிப் பாக்கும் உன்னை
மனசு கட்டிப் போடும் என்னை...
Is this a joyful heaven, or what kind of kiss is this?
Will I get this forever, or is it only for now?
Age peeps in at you,
My heart binds me tightly.
Age peeps in at you,
My heart binds me tightly.
கள்ளூறும் காவியம் கிள்ளாத மாதுளம்
கண்ணோடு பேசிடும் பெண்ணாசை ஆயிரம்
இளமை தீர்ந்துபோகும் நாளை
இதுவே சங்கமத்தின் வேளை...
இளமை தீர்ந்துபோகும் நாளை
இதுவே சங்கமத்தின் வேளை...
An epic carved in stone, an untouched pomegranate,
A thousand female desires that speak through the eyes.
Tomorrow youth will fade away,
This right now is the moment of our union.
Tomorrow youth will fade away,
This right now is the moment of our union.
மொட்டுக்குள்ளே வாசம் எத்தனை நாள் தூங்கும்
இப்பவே என் மனம் தொட்டுப் பாரு
தொட்டுக் கொள்ளும் நேரம் வாலிப மின்சாரம்
பாயுதே அம்மம்மா என்ன வேகம்
How many days will fragrance sleep inside the bud?
Touch and feel my heart right now.
Male: The moment we touch, youthful electricity
Surges through, oh my, with such speed!
உள்ளூர ஏங்கினேன் பொய்யாக தூங்கினேன்
ஆலோலம் பாடியே வா வா வா
கண்ணாடி மேனியில் கண்டேனே என் முகம்
ஆனந்த மோகமும் நீதானே
Deep inside I yearned while feigning sleep,
Sing a soothing lullaby and come to me, come!
Male: On your mirror-like body, I saw my own face,
You alone are my blissful state of supreme yoga.
பந்தாடும் மேடையில் வந்தாடும் நேரமே
சந்தோஷ ஊஞ்சலில் தள்ளாடும் நேரமே
ஆதாதி கேசம் என்னைத் தீண்டு
ஆதாரம் தேடி என்னை வேண்டு
On this playing stage, it is time to come and dance,
Male: It is the moment to sway on the swing of joy.
Female: Touch me from head to toe,
Male: Seeking support, win me over.
உல்லாச சொர்க்கமோ இதென்ன முத்தமோ
எப்போதும் கிட்டுமோ....
Is this a joyful heaven, or what kind of kiss is this?
Will I get this forever?
மின்னல் வந்து ஆடும் சின்னவிழி மூடும்
மேனியில் காவியம் அரங்கேறும்
திக்கி திக்கி பேசும் சின்ன இடை நோகும்
செவ்விதழ் மல்லிகை நிறமாகும்
Lightning comes and dances, little eyes close,
An epic unfolds across the body.
Female: Stammering speech and a aching slender waist,
Red lips take on the hue of jasmine.
அந்தரங்க வீணையில் சங்கீதம் தோன்றிடும்
செந்தாழம்பூவிலே தேனூறும்
அப்போது நீ தரும் சொர்க்கங்கள் ஆயிரம்
ஆகாய கங்கையில் நீரோடும்
Music emerges from the intimate veena,
Honey oozes from the fragrant screwpine flower.
Female: The thousands of heavens you grant then,
Bathes in the celestial river Ganges.
சிங்கார பெண் மயில் தந்தேனே என்னையே
நானே உன் கண்மணி நீயே என் பௌர்ணமி
எப்போதும் உன்னை நெஞ்சம் தேடும் ஹஹாஹ்
வற்றாத ஜீவ ராகம் டாட்டா... .
As a beautiful peahen, I have given myself to you.
Female: I am your darling eye, you are my full moon.
Male: My heart searches for you always, hahahaha.
Female: An unceasing lifelong melody...
கள்ளூறும் காவியம் கிள்ளாத மாதுளம்
கண்ணோடு பேசிடும் பெண்ணாசை ஆயிரம்
வயசு எட்டிப் பாக்கும் உன்னை
மனசு கட்டிப் போடும் என்னை
