Pattu MugathuWith a silken face,
Chuti Penne KattiMischievous girl, I’ll hold you tight,
Anaikum Indha KaigalThese hands are meant for an embrace.
Vattam AdikumSpinning around,
Vandu Kangal PithamBeetle-like eyes are full of madness,
Anaithum Inba KadhaigalAll of these are tales of bliss.
Thulluvatho IlamaiIt’s youth that’s leaping high,
Theduvatho ThanimaiIt’s solitude that it’s seeking,
Thulluvatho IlamaiIt’s the spring of life that’s jumping,
Theduvatho ThanimaiIt’s looking for a place to be alone,
Alluvadhe ThiramaiGathering it all is the true skill,
Athanaiyum PuthumaiAnd every bit of it is brand new.
Mel Adai NeenthumGliding over your clothes,
Pal Adai MeniYour skin is smooth as cream,
Mel Adai NeenthumFloating above the garments,
Pal Adai MeniYour body’s soft like a milky film,
Neer Ada OdivaCome running to bathe in the water,
Neer Ada OdivaHurry over to splash in the stream.
Vel Adum ParvaiA gaze as sharp as a spear,
Thalatha PothuWhen it refuses to look away,
Vel Adum ParvaiA vision that dances like a blade,
Thalatha PothuWhen it won’t back down for a moment,
Nogamal AdavaShall we dance without any hurt,
Nogamal AdavaShall we sway so gently today?
Thulluvatho IlamaiIt’s youth that’s leaping high,
Theduvatho ThanimaiIt’s solitude that it’s seeking,

Then Oorum PavaiA maiden dripping with honey,
Poo Medai ThevaiWho needs a stage made of flowers,
Then Oorum PavaiA lady as sweet as nectar,
Poo Medai ThevaiWho requires a floral bed,
Nanaga AllavaIsn’t it supposed to be me,
Nanaga AllavaShouldn’t it just be me?
Theeratha ThagamAn unquenchable thirst,
Padatha RagamA melody that’s never been sung,
Theeratha ThagamA longing that never ends,
Padatha RagamA tune that hasn’t been played,
Nalellam SollavaShould I tell you all day long,
Nalellam SollavaShall I sing it while we’re young?
Thulluvatho IlamaiIt’s youth that’s leaping high,
Theduvatho ThanimaiIt’s solitude that it’s seeking,
Alluvadhe ThiramaiGathering it all is the true skill,
Athanaiyum PuthumaiAnd every bit of it is brand new.
Kanatha KolamA vision you’ve never witnessed,
Nee Kanum NeramIn the moment that you see it,
Vai Pesa ThondrumaWould you even want to speak,
Vai Pesa ThondrumaCould you even find the words?
Aanodu PenmaiWhen a man and a woman,
Aaragum PothuFlow together like a river,
Ver Inbam VendumaDo you need any other joy,
Ver Inbam VendumaIs there any greater pleasure?
Thulluvatho IlamaiIt’s youth that’s leaping high,
Theduvatho ThanimaiIt’s solitude that it’s seeking,
