It is dancing, girl, it is dancing,
the pot balanced on the head!
It is dancing, girl, it is dancing,
the pot balanced on the head!
It is singing, girl, it is singing,
this string of Tuticorin pearls!
It is dancing, mister, it is dancing,
the pot balanced on the head!
It is singing, mister, it is singing,
this string of Tuticorin pearls!
It is dancing, girl, it is dancing,
the pot balanced on the head!
Thanana thana nana thanana
Thanana thana nana thanana
Arms and legs tender as plantain stems,
and two eyes round as glass marbles!
Her whole body is a purple blossom dripping with honey,
a purple blossom untouched by any bee!
A smiling rose plant,
a flashing streak of lightning!
Hey, who am I, what is my name? A flower chariot!
Come watch, just look at this karakattam dance!
It is dancing, girl, it is dancing,
the pot balanced on the head!
It is singing, mister, it is singing,
this string of Tuticorin pearls!
It is dancing, girl, it is dancing,
the pot balanced on the head!
A golden field untouched by the plough,
a little well untouched by the water-lift,
I remain all alone, like an unplucked fruit,
and with you as my partner, sweet to my heart,
pure happiness will be born,
and romance will bring our hands together!
Ah, it is the month of Thai, sweet with the scent of flowers,
and your eyes speak only with me!
It is dancing, mister, it is dancing,
the pot balanced on the head!
It is singing, mister, it is singing,
this string of Tuticorin pearls!
It is dancing, girl, it is dancing,
the pot balanced on the head!
It is singing, girl, it is singing,
this string of Tuticorin pearls!
It is dancing, girl, it is dancing,
the pot balanced on the head!
