Carrying milk and carrying fruit
Will the youthful girl arrive?
With a waist thread fine as string
Will she offer a new remedy?
Will she take steps and walk forward?
Will she open her arms and embrace?
பாலெடுத்து பழமெடுத்து

Once the jasmine plant blossoms
Is there any delay for its fragrance?
When the turmeric river overflows
Does it not rush into the field?
There is no art left to be taught
There is no barrier to lean on a shoulder
மல்லிச்செடி பூத்த பின்னே
வாசனைக்கு தாமதமா
மஞ்சள் நதி பெருக்கெடுத்தா
வயலில் வந்து பாயாதா
சொல்லித் தரும் கலை இல்லையே
தோள் கொடுக்க தடையில்லையே
Once the jasmine plant blossoms
Is there any delay for its fragrance?
When the turmeric river overflows
Does it not rush into the field?
There is no art left to be taught
There is no barrier to lean on a shoulder
To refuse and say no
My age is not too young anymore
மல்லிச்செடி பூத்த பின்னே
வாசனைக்கு தாமதமா
மஞ்சள் நதி பெருக்கெடுத்தா
வயலில் வந்து பாயாதா
சொல்லித் தரும் கலை இல்லையே
தோள் கொடுக்க தடையில்லையே
இல்லையென்று சொல்வதற்கு
என் வயசு சிறுசில்லையே
For the groom filled with desire
There is no one to send a message
I am here, my heart is ready
What obstacle is there in between?
Why, why, why?
ஆசையுள்ள மாப்பிள்ளைக்கு
தூது செல்ல யாருமில்லை
நான் இருக்கேன் மனம் இருக்கு
நடுவில் என்ன தடை இதுக்கு
எதுக்கு........... எதுக்கு........... எதுக்கு...........
If a block of jaggery is kept on top
And an ant is placed down below
Even a tiny ant
Will it not scale Mount Everest?
வெல்லக்கட்டி மேலே வச்சி
எறும்பை கொஞ்சம் கீழே வச்சா
சின்ன சின்ன எறும்பு கூட
இமயமலை ஏறாதோ
The surge of flood is waiting here
Is the momentum still not enough?
If we just talk and stay apart
Neither of us will taste bliss
வெள்ளம் இங்கே காத்திருக்கு
வேகம் இன்னும் போதலையே
சொல்லிக்கொண்டே தனித்திருந்தால்
இருவருக்கும் சுகமில்லையே
For the groom filled with desire
There is no one to send a message
I am here, my heart is ready
What obstacle is there in between?
Why, why, why?
ஆசையுள்ள மாப்பிள்ளைக்கு
தூது செல்ல யாருமில்லை
நான் இருக்கேன் மனம் இருக்கு
நடுவில் என்ன தடை இதுக்கு
எதுக்கு........... எதுக்கு........... எதுக்கு...........

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful duet features a lovers' dialogue expressing intense romance, passion, and impatience for union. The lovers question why there should be any messenger or hesitation between two hearts that are already willing and eager. Through vivid natural imagery—like overflowing streams, blooming jasmine, and ants drawn to sweetness—they convey that attraction is an irresistible law of nature that cannot be delayed.
