To spread the mat
While the Punnai tree stands by
To gather and feed delicacies for the mouth to taste

வழிய கண்ணோடு மை
வழிய அத்தானுக்கு
முத்தாடத் தான் ஆசை
இருக்காதோ ஆசை
இருக்காதோ ஓ ஓ
With hands
Ghee dripping, with eyes
Kohl smearing, for my cousin/lover
Wouldn't there be a desire to kiss?
Wouldn't there be a desire? ... oh oh

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.

“Neer vayal pol”
