Meaning of Thiruvempavai Munnai

Oh the Oldest thing of the oldest things! The recently named latest of the newest things! We, your disciplined slaves, who got yourself as our Lord, would bow down to the foot of your slaves; would become friends of them only; one like them only would become our husband; we would serve the way he likingly tells. If you, our King, bless us this way we are free from any unfulfilment.
