வரலாமோ சுகம் பெறலாமோ
உந்தன் மஞ்சத்தில் இந்த மாங்கனி
இதழ் தன்னோடு மனம் கொண்டாடும்
முதல் தாம்பூலம் அன்றே நான் தந்தது
May I come in, may I experience bliss?
On your bed, this sweet mango fruit...
Celebrating in heart alongside the lips,
The first betel token of love was given by me that day.
நான் வரலாமோ சுகம் பெறலாமோ
May I come in, may I experience bliss?
எதிர் பார்த்த காலம் ஒன்று
எதற்காக.......இதற்காக
துயிலாத கண்ணில் இன்று
துயிலாத கண்ணில் இன்று
காதல் நேரம் துளிர் விடும்
A time that was eagerly awaited,
For what purpose?... For this very moment.
In eyes that stay awake today,
In eyes that stay awake today,
The season of love begins to sprout.
நான் வரலாமோ சுகம் பெறலாமோ
May I come in, may I experience bliss?
இடைவேளை கொஞ்ச நேரம்
இனி ஏது கிடையாது
இடையோடு தாங்கும் பாரம்
இடையோடு தாங்கும் பாரம்
கண்ணன்.......இரு கரம் வாங்க
The time of interlude has ended,
There is no separation or delay anymore.
The weight supported at the waist,
The weight supported at the waist,
May Lord Krishna take it with both hands.
நான் வரலாமோ சுகம் பெறலாமோ
May I come in, may I experience bliss?
பன்னீரில் நீந்திக் களித்து
களைப்பாற......கரை ஏற
பன்னீரில் நீந்திக் களித்து
களைப்பாற.......கரை ஏற
வெந்நீரில் காலைக் குளித்து
வெந்நீரில் காலைக் குளித்து
காணம் உறவுகள் வேண்டும்
Swimming in rose water and rejoicing,
To relieve weariness... and reach the shore,
Swimming in rose water and rejoicing,
To relieve weariness... and reach the shore,
Bathing in warm water in the morning,
Bathing in warm water in the morning,
I desire melodic music and intimate bonds.
நான் வரலாமோ சுகம் பெறலாமோ
உந்தன் மஞ்சத்தில் இந்த மாங்கனி

Trivia
The song is composed by M. S. Viswanathan with lyrics penned by Vaali for the 1977 film Aasai Manaivi. Vaali masterfully uses traditional cultural symbols like 'thaampoolam' (betel leaves offering) to metaphorically describe intimacy and commitment within marital bonds.
