Pana mara kuruthula
Panaiya katturen
Padhani thaan nirambudhu
Paadhaiyum maarudhu
Adi raasathi adi raasathi
Adi raasathi
En udambil nee paadhi
Porayavum kooru kathi
Kannala ena theetti
Viratti viratti vaarandi
Thalli vittu pogaadha
Mutta mutta kannala
Mutti enna saaikkadha
Adi raasathi
En udambil nee paadhi
Porayavum kooru kathi
Kannala ena theetti
Thoralum podudhu
Mayilum aadudhu
Karumegam merkka soozhudhu
Padaadavena nenjam thudikkudhu
Rasathi azhaga kandathum
Poluthu vidinja kilambi pora
Vazhianuppa naanum vaaren
Poluthu maranjum kaathu kidanthen
Soru thanni ninappa marandhen
Vaasa thelikka vandha neram
Rombha azhaga maari pogum
Thoodhu onnu naanum solla
Badhila neeyum sonna podhum
Namma kadhala nee sonna podhum
Adi raasathi
En udambil nee paadhi
Porayavum kooru kathi
Kannala ena theetti
Hae raasathi
En udambil nee paadhi
Porayavum kooru kathi
Kannala ena theetti
Kanavu kanda kaalam ottuuren
Unna ninachi vekkappattu sirikkiren
Natta naduvil nilavidam pesuren
Unnala polambhi kidakkiren
Karisakattu karumba irukkura
Parisam poda thaviya thavikkiren
Pakkam vandha vilagi nikkira
Unnoda sera thudikkiren
Pottal kaattu puludhi pola
Enna thooki veesi pora
Ponnu kettu naanum vaaren
Enna erinji pesidatha pulla
Enna erinji pesidatha
Adi raasathi
En udambil nee paadhi
Porayavum kooru kathi
Kannala ena theetti
Adi raasathi
En udambil nee paadhi
Porayavum kooru kathi
Kannala ena theetti
High up in the tender crown of the palm tree,
I tie the pot to tap the sweet sap,
The sweet palm sap fills right up,
And my steps begin to sway.
Hey my princess, oh my princess,
Hey my princess,
You are half of my very being,
With a razor-sharp blade,
Sharpened by your piercing eyes,
You keep chasing after me, girl!
Don't push me away and leave.
With those wide, round eyes of yours,
Don't strike and knock me down.
Hey my princess,
You are half of my very being,
With a razor-sharp blade,
Sharpened by your piercing eyes...
A gentle drizzle falls,
The peacock begins to dance,
Dark clouds gather in the west,
My heart thumps wildly without rest,
The moment I see my princess's beauty.
At dawn, you get ready and leave,
And I come along to see you off.
Even after sunset, I waited longing for you,
Forgetting all thoughts of food and water.
That hour when you sprinkle water at your doorstep,
Turns everything so wonderfully beautiful.
When I send you a message of love,
If only you would give me a reply,
If only you would speak of our love.
Hey my princess,
You are half of my very being,
With a razor-sharp blade,
Sharpened by your piercing eyes...
Hey my princess,
You are half of my very being,
With a razor-sharp blade,
Sharpened by your piercing eyes...
I spend my days lost in dreams,
Thinking of you, I blush and smile.
In the dead of night, I talk to the moon,
Pining away restlessly because of you.
You are sweet as sugarcane in the black soil,
I yearn desperately to offer Parisam (traditional bridal gift) to marry you.
When I come near, you step away,
Yet I ache to be with you.
Like dust swirling across the barren fields,
You sweep me up and throw me aside.
I will come asking your family for your hand,
So don't snap at me in anger, girl,
Don't snap at me in anger.
Hey my princess,
You are half of my very being,
With a razor-sharp blade,
Sharpened by your piercing eyes...
Hey my princess,
You are half of my very being,
With a razor-sharp blade,
Sharpened by your piercing eyes...
