Ah, the rainy wind blows in bursts!
Male: Hey, what is it?
Female: Hit by the drops, the tender sprout shivers!
Male: Is that so?
The rainy wind blows in bursts!
Hit by the drops, the tender sprout shivers!
I am sweet jaggery, should you stand so far away?
You are the black ant, come stick close to me, darling!
Shall we bathe together dripping wet? Aaaah...
The rainy wind blows in bursts!
The tender sprout can go on shivering as it gets hit!
The block of jaggery will just dissolve in vain, don't do it!
Step aside, aren't you a sensible girl?
Why do you struggle and yearn like this? Oh oh oh oh...
This dripping wet saree feels so heavy!
All this wetness will dry once my darling holds me tight!
Male: You tease and you whine, why all this fuss, girl?
I beg of you, step away, I'm not in the mood!
Will you only warm up slowly?
Will it take you that long?
Male: If I get heated up, your body won't be able to take it!
If I get in the mood, desire will race at top speed!
Female: Oh come strike this girl like an arrow of flowers!
Oh no!
The rainy wind blows in bursts!
Female: Mmh!
Male: The tender sprout can go on shivering as it gets hit!
Female: Oho oh!
I am sweet jaggery, should you stand so far away?
You are the black ant, come stick close to me, darling!
Shall we bathe together dripping wet?
Male: Ayyayyayo!
Ever since this flower bud bloomed,
how many months have passed?
Longing for you with so much desire,
my body has grown so thin!
Male: To get any thinner than this,
what is even left of you, girl?
Do you even have a waist or not?
Check and tell me!
My tiny waist is like a single thread!
Just touch gently and feel for yourself!
Male: Don't do that investigation,
it will only lead to big trouble!
Just like a waterfall,
new desires will come rushing, new desires will come rushing!
Female: Come on, let's come together and satisfy our desires!
Ah, the rainy wind blows in bursts!
Male: Aaha!
Female: Hit by the drops, the tender sprout shivers!
Male: Oho!
I am sweet jaggery, should you stand so far away?
You are the black ant, come stick close to me, darling!
Shall we bathe together dripping wet? Aaaah...
The rainy wind blows in bursts!
Female: Oho!
Male: The tender sprout can go on shivering as it gets hit!
Female: Ahaan!
The block of jaggery will just dissolve in vain, don't do it!
Step aside, aren't you a sensible girl?
Why do you struggle and yearn like this? Oh oh oh oh...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This playful rural duet set against a rainstorm captures a romantic banter between two lovers. The heroine eagerly tempts her partner using vivid metaphors of nature, rainwater, sweet jaggery, and ants, urging him to embrace her. The hero playfully resists her advances at first, warning her that if he gives in to his desires, his passion will rush forth uncontrollably like a waterfall. Eventually, the banter escalates into mutual expression of longing and affection.
