{Hey, our Tamil song echoes across the world!
When the moon itself sways and dances to it, what is the fuss?
Western style is just child's play to us, no problem!} (2)

Male: If I forget to shave...
Female: No problem, no problem!
Male: If I roam around wearing a veshti (traditional wrap)...
Female: No problem, no problem!
In the days gone by,
The Western world ruled over the East;
Today, the East leads the West!
No problem!
Even if you bury us inside a seed,
We will burst right out before long,
And rise to colossal heights!
No problem!
No problem, no problem
No problem, no problem
No problem, no problem
Male: What if I am older than you?
Female: No problem, no problem!
Male: What if I am younger than you?

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song 'No Problem' from Love Birds (1996) is a energetic fusion of UK Bhangra/Raggamuffin and Tamil pop music, featuring Apache Indian alongside A. R. Rahman's musical composition. It promotes Indian national pride, unity across different cultures and cities (Madras, Bombay, Hyderabad, Ajmer, Cochin), and mutual respect between generations, genders, and diaspora communities across the world.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Rhyme / Iyaipu
“Be a chachi and your chacha / Be the rani and the raja / Be a machi and your macha”
End rhymes across lines in Hindi/Tamil terms (chacha, raja, macha) create a rhythmic, catchy cadence.
Muran (Antithesis)
“Kizhakku ulagathai annaalil indha merku ulagangal aandanavae / Indru kizhakku merkaaga maariyadhae”
Contrasts the historical domination of the East by the West with the modern cultural rise of the East.
Metaphor
“Oru vidhaikkul emmai vaithaalum... Vishwaroobangal kolvoamae”
Compares resilience to a seed that, even when buried underground, breaks out and grows into a giant form (Vishwaroopam).
Did you know?
Trivia
'No Problem' brought international ragga/reggae artist Apache Indian (Steven Kapur) together with A. R. Rahman in 1996. It was a pioneering collaboration blending reggae, Tamil film music, and Hindi/Punjabi colloquialisms, marking one of the earliest cross-continental Asian hip-hop crossovers in mainstream South Indian cinema.
