Just to see you for a little while,
for such a long time,
on this narrow dirt path,
I have been waiting for you!

Do women have the freedom and ease like you men do?
Is it possible to just come the moment you think of it?

If you get angry like this,
can we ever be together?

Carrying a bundle of grass, there walks the girl!
For two days, you haven't even looked at me!
Ha, carrying a bundle of grass, there walks the girl!
For two days, you haven't even looked at me!
Look, I have been standing and waiting
in the coconut grove,
yet you ignore me and walk away
along that direction!
Female: Ha!
Look, I have been standing and waiting
in the coconut grove,
yet you ignore me and walk away
along that direction!
You came here looking to tease and tussle, mister!
There are people all around this grove right now!
You came here looking to tease and tussle, mister!
There are people all around this grove right now!
You come looking to pick a quarrel
on this excuse, but for your cunning

dark clouds are gathering!
With a loud roar and thunder,
the rain is pouring down!
Female: Ho ooh...
Hey, toward the south, over the rocky hill,
dark clouds are gathering!
With a loud roar and thunder,
the rain is pouring down!
Come inside the little hut, girl,
and take some shelter!
Once the rain stops, we can head close to the village!
Female: In your dreams!
Ah, come inside the little hut, girl,
and take some shelter!
Once the rain stops, we can head close to the village!
Mister driving that flat cart,
give me a lift and drop me at my house!
Mister driving that flat cart,
give me a lift and drop me at my house!
I will not go alone
in these woods, and I will not put
any trust in your words anymore!
What time did you tell me to come, girl?
And what time did you actually show up?
Just to see you for a little while,
for such a long time,
on this narrow dirt path,
I have been waiting for you!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song is a playful rural duet structured as a banter between a male and female lover set in the countryside. The male lover complains about waiting for a long time along a secluded path and in a coconut grove, teasingly scolding her for coming late and ignoring him. The female lover retorts sharply, highlighting her domestic chores, societal restrictions, and the presence of onlookers nearby to playfully dismiss his romantic advances and warnings of rain.
