Oh springtime, oh springtime!
Youth is in full bloom,
Come closer, come closer!
O Kaveri of love, O blossoming garden,
Come here to let our desires unfold, ah...
Oh springtime, oh springtime!
Youth is in full bloom,
Come closer, come closer!
My body is your flower boat,
Come here to bathe in pleasure!
Oh springtime, oh springtime!
Youth is in full bloom,
Come closer, come closer!
...
Is it because with your eyes
You told me a story,
That this passion has awakened?
Female: Oh... oh...
For me to reach you, to touch my body,
Why this silence?
Isn't my very life meant only for you?
Female: Aren't your words my sacred truth?
Male: Like a shadow, every single day,
I will always follow you, my love.
Oh springtime, oh springtime!
Youth is in full bloom,
Come closer, come closer!
When touching these lips
Soft as fresh flowers,
Sweet honey spills over!
Male: Oh... oh...
To quench the thirst of our bodies,
The rain clouds pour down!
Shall I make a bed under the moonlight?
Male: Shall I rest and play upon your lap?
Female: Like a river joining the sea,
Our hearts have become one!
Oh springtime, oh springtime!
Youth is in full bloom,
Come closer, come closer!
O Kaveri of love, O blossoming garden,
Come here to let our desires unfold, ah...
Oh springtime, oh springtime!
Youth is in full bloom,
Come closer, come closer!

Each stanza expresses longing, devotion, and the joy of physical and spiritual togetherness.
