I read a new poem in your eyes, oh
I drank sweet nectar from your lips, oh
I held you in my arms, soaking my body in pleasure
I held you in my arms, soaking my body in pleasure
I dreamed of the day we exchange wedding garlands
Sweet honey of a blooming vine
I read a new poem in your eyes, oh
I drank sweet nectar from your lips, oh
I held you in my arms, soaking my body in pleasure
I held you in my arms, soaking my body in pleasure
I dreamed of the day we exchange wedding garlands
Sweet honey of a blooming vine
I read a new poem in your eyes, oh
I drank sweet nectar from your lips

Neither here nor there... ha... ah... ah...
Ha... aah... ah...
Not just here or there,
Your thoughts follow me everywhere and will not leave me
Without my woman's touch,
My heart will not overflow, and no sweet trance will come
Singing a lullaby, uniting without hesitation,
Seeking you like a mother, singing in Tamil and dancing,
My dear,
Female: For your dreams to arrive,
Male: My girl,
Female: For your memories to arise,
Male: Love,
Female: For this golden bond to begin,
Male: In my hands,
Female: For you to come into my embrace,
Male: Staying together without ever parting,
Feast and enjoy this bliss
Mmm... mm... mmm... mmm...
Mmm... mm... mmm... mmm...
I read a new poem in your eyes, oh
I drank sweet nectar from your lips, oh
I held you in my arms, soaking my body in pleasure
I held you in my arms, soaking my body in pleasure
I dreamed of the day we exchange wedding garlands
Sweet honey of a blooming vine
I read a new poem in your eyes, oh
I drank sweet nectar from your lips
Without my Kannan coming...
Aah... aah... ha
Without my Kannan coming,
This bride cannot find joy today
Sleep will not come
Until you hold me close against your shoulder, this longing will not fade
A body like a book with unwritten pages,
An untouched longing,
Will hide behind a veil
Intoxicating sweetness
Male: Even with sweet lips ready,
Female: Left untasted,
Male: A feast!
Female: Oh Kannan,
Male: Being right beside me,
Female: You must offer,
Male: The sacred cure!
Female: Resting with the flower,
Like honey blending into honey
I read a new poem in your eyes, oh
I drank sweet nectar from your lips, oh
Female: I held you in my arms, soaking my body in pleasure
Male: I held you in my arms, soaking my body in pleasure
Female: I dreamed of the day we exchange wedding garlands
Sweet honey of a blooming vine
I read a new poem in your eyes, oh
Female: I drank sweet nectar from your lips
Mmm... mm... mmm... mmm...
Mmm... mm... mmm... mmm...
