Ah ah ah ah ……
With the sound of wedding
bangles jingling,
oh breeze, go on ahead!
Telling him that
I am coming behind,
whisper it in my lover's ear!
My beloved, oh my beloved,
to serve you porridge,
I am waiting here,
my eyes tired from watching for you.
Tell him the news that this girl is coming,
and tell him the rest after I arrive!
With the sound of wedding
bangles jingling,
oh breeze, go on ahead!
Telling him that
I am coming behind,
whisper it in my lover's ear!
With a shade-giving punnai tree
to spread our mat beneath,
and me feeding you tasty morsels by hand,
with ghee dripping
from my fingers and kohl running
from my eyes, won't my man
long to kiss me with love?
Won't he desire that? Oh...
With the sound of wedding
bangles jingling,
like a graceful musk deer today,
she came, tender as a young plantain shoot,
a fresh bouquet of white jasmine!
While hands made to hold the plough
embrace your waist,
ah, embrace your waist,
and the heart softens
like a watered paddy field,
as the heart softens,
ah, as hands that hold the plough
embrace your waist,
and like a watered field
the heart softens,
like golden
grains of rice, my dear,
the pupils of your eyes,
like a red plantain in the stream,
won't they dance and laugh?
Won't they dance and laugh? Oh...
Oh oh oh...
With the sound of wedding
bangles jingling,
like a graceful musk deer today,
she came,
tender as a young plantain shoot,
a fresh bouquet of white jasmine!
Ah ah ah ah...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This classic romantic duet from Urimaikural (1974) depicts playful love and longing between lovers set against a rural, pastoral backdrop. The heroine asks the breeze to act as a messenger to carry the sound of her wedding bangles and convey her arrival to her beloved, while describing her eager wait to serve him and be close to him. The hero responds by admiring her beauty, comparing her grace to a musk deer, a tender banana plant, and sweet white jasmine, while expressing how her presence softens his heart like a well-irrigated field.

Poetic devices

Uvamai (Simile)

“Kasthuri maan polae indru”

The line 'Kasthuri maan polae indru' compares the heroine's graceful arrival to that of a musk deer using the explicit comparison word 'polae'.

Uvamai (Simile)

“Neer vayal pol”

The phrase 'Neer vayal pol' compares the softening of the lover's heart in affection to a field soaked with water.

Edhugai (Second Letter Rhyme)

“Ponnana / Nelmanigal kannae”

The second consonant 'n' (ன/ன்) in 'Ponnana' and 'Nelmanigal' creates an Edhugai rhyme structure across consecutive poetic phrases.
