She came searching for you,
the queen of Tamil!
A youthful beauty that sparks your desire!
She came searching for you, the queen of Tamil!
A youthful beauty that sparks your desire!
Touching gently and talking softly,
dancing around in circles,
and when we embrace tight,
a hundred pleasures overflow!
She came searching for you,
the queen of Tamil!
Giving a thousand pleasures,
the taste of sweet lips is a melody of its own!
Shooting a hundred thousand flower arrows,
those dark eyes enchant like an epic of the god of love!
She came searching for me,
the queen of Tamil!
A youthful beauty that sparks my desire!
O summer flower! O rising moon!
You are here and I am here, so why any delay?
O summer flower! O rising moon!
You are here and I am here, so why any delay?
O summer flower! O rising moon!
You are here and I am here, so why any delay?
O young girl who runs and hides,
tell me softly, why do you run away?
I will come, I will come close to you,
I will give, I will give myself to you!
O lord of love, king of poetry!
Here is the flower and here is the honey, so why any questions?
O lord of love, king of poetry!
Here is the flower and here is the honey, so why any questions?
As loving eyes swirl with longing,
let our playful romance begin!
You may come, you can come right here,
you can receive, receive my love!
Touching gently and talking softly,
dancing around in circles,
and when we embrace tight,
a hundred pleasures overflow!
She came searching for you,
the queen of Tamil!
A youthful beauty that sparks your desire!
Looking at the statue-like beauty
draped in fine clothes,
let the great king sing a Kavadi Sindhu (folk melody)!
A lovely woman blessed with the charm of countless flowers,
I am as tender and sweet as a ripe mango!
My heart softened and merged with yours,
I blossomed and followed you!
Giving a thousand pleasures,
the taste of sweet lips is a melody of its own!
Shooting a hundred thousand flower arrows,
those dark eyes enchant like an epic of the god of love!
Touching gently and talking softly,
dancing around in circles,
and when we embrace tight,
a hundred pleasures overflow!
She came searching for me,
the queen of Tamil!
A youthful beauty that sparks my desire!
