அடிடா நையாண்டிய
தெக்கு தெச அதிர தெக்கு தெச
ஒசர ஊர் குலுங்கனும் பம்பைய
தட்டிக்கிட்டு பாட்டெடுத்து படிச்சா
பாறையிலும் பாலு விடியும்
Play the Naiyaandi music!
So that the southern direction trembles,
So that the southern direction rises,
The whole village should shake with joy!
Tapping the drum,
If we take up a song and sing,
Even a rock will yield sweet milk!
நமக்கு சாமி துணை
எப்போதுந்தான் இருக்கு
தப்பாதுடா கணக்கு பேர்
விளங்கிடும் வலது கால்
எடுத்து வச்ச இடம் செழிக்கும்
வேர்வையில வெற்றி
முளைக்கும்
God's grace and support
Is always with us,
Our calculations won't go wrong,
Our name will shine bright!
Stepping forward with the right foot,
The place stepped on will flourish,
Success will sprout from sweat!
மஞ்ச நீர் அள்ளி
மாமன் மேல் தெளிச்சு
வயசு பொண்ணுங்க
வம்பிழுக்கும்
Gathering turmeric water,
Splashing it over the maternal uncle,
The young girls
Will playfully tease!
ஓரக்கண்ணால உன்ன
ஒன்னு திட்டிக்கிட்டு உள்ள
ஆசையில வசை இழுக்கும்
Glancing at you sideways,
Scolding you softly,
With inner desire,
They playfully hurl mild insults!
சிறுசு சிறுசுதான்
இளசு இளசுதான் கிழிச்ச
எல்லையில்ல காத்து
நிக்காது ஹே
The young ones are young,
The fresh ones are fresh,
They won't stand quietly
Within drawn boundaries, hey!
அடிடா நையாண்டிய
தெக்கு தெச அதிர தெக்கு தெச
ஒசர ஊர் குலுங்கனும் பம்பைய

So that the southern direction trembles,
So that the southern direction rises,
The whole village should shake with joy!
Tapping the drum,
If we take up a song and sing,

உசுருக்கு உசுரா
ஒரு மரப்பறவையா
பகலோடு இரவா பழகிய
பசங்கதான்
As life to life itself,
Like woodpecker birds,
Day and night together,
Boys who bonded together,
பரம்பர பகையில
பதுங்குது ஒதுங்குது
இருப்பினும் நீர்த்துளி
இமையில வழியிது
Due to ancestral feud,
Are now hiding and stepping aside,
Yet a drop of tear
Flows down their eyelashes!
நேத்து ஓயாம
வாயாடி கிடக்க இன்று
போட்டாச்சு வாய்ப்பூட்டே
இருக்கு நாளை இதுக்கு
மாற்றம் இருக்கு எல்லாம்
நல்ல இடம் ஆத்தா கண்
பாத்தா
Yesterday continuously,
Being chatterboxes,
Today it has been put,
A padlock on the mouth!
Tomorrow for this,
There will be a change,
Everything will turn out well,
If Goddess Mother bestows her look!
அடடா பண்ணபுர
தெய்வமகன் இவன் தான்
தெய்வமகன் இவன் தான்
ஊர் வணங்குது நம்ம ஊரு
அம்மனுக்கு இஷ்டமகன்
இவன் தான் நீந்திக்கிட்டு
விட்ட மகன் தான்
Oh look at Pannabura,
He is the divine son,
He is the divine son,
The village worships him!
To our village goddess,
He is the favorite son,
He is the son dedicated through vows!
அழகு குத்துறாங்க
தீக்குழியில் இறங்க பூக்குழியில்
இறங்க தூள் பறக்குது அம்மனோட
அம்மன்னு கும்பிடுது சனம்தான்
பக்தியுள்ள சுத்த மணந்தான்
Piercing with sacred spears,
Stepping into the fire pit,
Stepping into the flower-pit,
Dust flies with vigor!
Calling her Goddess Mother,
The people pray with devotion,
With a pure and faithful heart!
வாடிப்பட்டி வளவன்
உறுமியில் வெளுக்குறான்
வீரபாண்டி முருகன்
நாயனத்தில் பொளக்குறான்
The skilled artist from Vadippatti,
Beats the Urumi drum grandly,
Veerappaandi Murugan
Plays the Nadaswaram magnificently!
கரகன்தான் குலுங்குது
கனகாவின் தலையில
கெழட்டுங்க கெறங்குது
ராமராசன் நெனப்புல
The Karagam pot sways
On Kanagavalli's head,
Old folk go crazy in delight
Remembering actor Ramarajan!
பாரு அருக்காணி
பொய்காலுகுதிர நெஞ்ச
திம்பாடா நின்னாக்க
எதுர ஊரு முழுக்க தேரு
இழுக்க நிப்போம் தன்னாப்புதா
நீயும் நானுந்தான் ஹா ஹா
ஹா ஹா ஹா ஹா
Look at Arukkani,
Riding the dummy horse dance!
It requires great courage
To stand against us!
To pull the temple chariot across the town,
We will stand together proudly,
Both you and me!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Idhu Varai' / 'Aadal Paadal' folk segment from the album/movie Goa captures the high-energy traditional Tamil rural festival atmosphere, rich in folk music instruments like Naiyaandi Melam, Urumi, and Nadaswaram. The song paints a vivid picture of village temple rituals, cultural performances like Karagattam and Poikal Kuthirai, playful romantic banter between young villagers, and deep-rooted bonds of friendship tested by familial rivalries.
