விழியே விளக்கொன்று ஏற்று
விழுந்தேன் உன் மார்பில் நேற்று
Light a lamp with your eyes,
Yesterday I fell onto your chest.
விளக்கேற்றும் மாலை
இது என்ன லீலை
It is an evening for lighting lamps,
What kind of divine play is this?
விளங்காததா இனிமேல்.....
Won't it be understood from now on?
விழியே விளக்கொன்று ஏற்று
விழுந்தேன் உன் மார்பில் நேற்று
Light a lamp with your eyes,
Yesterday I fell onto your chest.
பூங்கூந்தலோ கார்மேகமோ
பூங்காற்றிலே ஊர்கோலமோ
ஓய்வின்றிக் காண்கின்ற ஆலிங்கனம்
உன்னோடு வாழ்கின்ற காதல் வரம்
Is your flower-adorned hair a dark rain cloud?
Is it a grand procession riding the gentle breeze?
An unceasing, endless embrace,
The boon of love, living life with you.
என் கண்களில் உனை ரசித்தேன்
சிறை எடுத்தேன்
பொன் நெஞ்சிலே அனுதினமும்
இருக்க வைத்தேன்
I admired you through my eyes,
And held you captive there.
Within my golden heart, every single day,
I made you reside.
நான் உன் உடல்
உயிர் நீதான்
நெஞ்சம் இது எந்தன் மஞ்சம்
I am your body,
You are the soul itself.
This heart is my soft bed.
விழியே விளக்கொன்று ஏற்று
விழுந்தேன் உன் மார்பில் நேற்று
Light a lamp with your eyes,
Yesterday I fell onto your chest.
விளக்கேற்றும் மாலை
இது என்ன லீலை
It is an evening for lighting lamps,
What kind of divine play is this?
விளங்காததா இனிமேல்
Won't it be understood from now on?
நான் கேட்டது
தேன் பூ இதழ்
என் கண்மணி எங்கே பதில்
What I asked for,
Is your honey-sweet flower lips.
Oh my darling, where is your answer?
நான் கொண்ட யாவையும்
நீ சேரத்தான்
நீ தந்து என் பசி
நான் ஆறத்தான்
Everything that I possess,
Is only for you to join with me.
You grant it so that my hunger,
May be completely satiated.
தேகம் இது ஒரு விருந்து
திருமருந்து
மோகங்களை அருகிருந்து
கொடுத்து விடு
This body is a feast,
A divine, healing medicine.
By staying close, bestow upon me,
All the desires.
பரிமாறினேன் பதம் ஆனேன்
பாவங்களில் பண்பாடினேன்
I served myself, I became tender,
I sang melodies filled with emotional expressions.
விழியே விளக்கொன்று ஏற்று
விழுந்தேன் உன் மார்பில் நேற்று
Light a lamp with your eyes,
Female: Yesterday I fell onto your chest.

Female: What kind of divine play is this?
விளங்காததா
இனிமேல்
Won't it be understood
