Aalapol velapol aazham vizhuthu pol
Maman nenjil naan irupenae
Naalapol rendapol naazhum pozhuthu pol
Nanum angu nindrirupenae
Bathil kelu adi kannammaa … aa aa aaah
Nalla naazhu konjam sollamma ennamma kannamma hoi
Aalapol velapol aazham vizhuthu pol
Maman nenjil naan irupenae
Thumthum thumthum thumthum thumthum
Thumthum thumthum thumthum thumthum thumthum thum
Em manasu mamanuku bathiramaa kondu sellu
Innum enna venumunnu utharavu poda chollu
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Kothu manjal thaan arachi nithamum neeraada chollu
Meenakshi kungumatha nethiyila sooda chollu
Sonnatha naanum kekuren sornamae anga poi kooridu
Anjala maala poduren annathin kaathula othidu
Maman nenaputhaan maasa kanakilae
Paadaa paduthudhennaiyae puthu poovaa vedicha pennaiyae
Aalapol velapol aazham vizhuthu pol aasai nenjil naan irupenae
Naalapol rendapol naazhum pozhuthu pol naanum angu nindrirupenae
Velangkuchi naan valaichu villu vandi senjithaaren
Vandiyila vanji vanthaa valachi katti konja vaaren
Aalangkuchi naan valaichu pallakonnu senju thaaren
Pallakula maman vanthaa pagal mudinju konja varen
Vattamaai kaayum vennila kolludhae kolludhae raathiri
Kattilil podum paayumthaan kuthudhae kuthoosi maathiri
Oorum orangatum osai adangatum
Kaathaa paranthu varuven puthu paataa padichi tharuven
Aalapol velapol aazham vizhuthu pol
Maman nenjil naan irupenae
Naalapol rendapol naazhum pozhuthu pol
Nanum angu nindrirupenae
Bathil kelu adi kannammaa aa aa aah
Nalla naazhu konjam sollamma ennamma kannamma hoi
Aalapol velapol aazham vizhuthu pol
Aasai nenjil naan irupenae
Naalapol rendapol naazhum pozhuthu pol
Nanum angu nindrirupenae
Like the banyan, like the neem, like deep hanging roots,
I will dwell forever in my beloved's heart!
Through all directions, like day and night,
I will remain standing right there!
Ask him for a reply, my dear Kannamma... ah ah aah,
Tell me a good wedding day, tell me, Kannamma, hey!
Like the banyan, like the neem, like deep hanging roots,
I will dwell forever in my beloved's heart!
Dhum-dhum dhum-dhum dhum-dhum dhum-dhum,
Dhum-dhum dhum-dhum dhum-dhum dhum-dhum dhum-dhum dhum!
Carry my heart safely to my man,
And tell him to command whatever else he desires!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Tell her to grind fresh turmeric and bathe every single day,
Tell her to adorn Goddess Meenakshi's kumkum (sacred red mark) on her forehead!
I will heed his words; my golden friend, go tell him so!
I send a garland of love; whisper it into that gentle swan's ear!
Thoughts of my beloved, for months on end,
Torment me so, a girl blooming like a fresh flower!
Like the banyan, like the neem, like deep hanging roots, I will dwell in his loving heart!
Through all directions, like day and night, I will remain standing right there!
I will bend slender twigs and craft a shaded cart for you,
And when my sweet girl arrives in it, I will hold her close and cherish her!
I will bend banyan branches and build a palanquin for you,
And if my man arrives in that palanquin, I will come hold him close after nightfall!
The round white moon torments me all through the night,
Even the woven mat on my bed pricks me like a sharp needle!
Let the village fall asleep, let all the noises fade,
I will fly to you like the wind and sing a brand new song!
Like the banyan, like the neem, like deep hanging roots,
I will dwell forever in my beloved's heart!
Through all directions, like day and night,
I will remain standing right there!
Ask him for a reply, my dear Kannamma, ah ah aah,
Tell me a good wedding day, tell me, Kannamma, hey!
Like the banyan, like the neem, like deep hanging roots,
I will dwell in his longing heart!
Through all directions, like day and night,
I will remain standing right there!
