| Aduppil pugai aagum | Becomes smoke in the kitchen stove |
| Pombalainga vazhkai | Women's lives |
| Yeniya pottaalae | If a ladder is set up |
| Yeri vandhu paarkka | To climb up and see |

| Karadu paadhaiyilae | On the rough, rocky path |
| Panju eduthu serkka | To gather soft cotton |
| Sidharum jeevangala | The scattered living souls |
| Noolu eduthu korkka | To thread them together |

| Pullaya thookkittu | Carrying her child |
| Pullarukkum kaattil | In the wild grass-cutting field |
| Ellaiya thaandi | Crossing all boundaries |
| Oru peru thara paartha | She sought to earn a legendary name |

| Vaanamae odi vandhu | When the whole sky came running |
| Kaiyil vandha podhu | And landed into her hands |

அடுப்பில் புகை ஆகும்
பொப்பளைங்க வாழ்க்கை
ஏணிய போட்டாளே
ஏறி வந்து பார்க்க
Becomes smoke in the kitchen stove
Women's lives
If a ladder is set up
To climb up and see
கரடு பாதையில
பஞ்சு எடுத்து சேர்க்க
சிதறும் ஜீவனங்கள
நூலு எடுத்து கோர்க்க
On the rough, rocky path
To gather soft cotton
The scattered living souls
To thread them together
புள்ளய தூக்கிட்டு
புல்லறுக்கு காட்டில்
எல்லைய தாண்டி
ஒரு பேர தர பார்த்தா
Carrying her child
In the wild grass-cutting field
Crossing all boundaries
She sought to earn a legendary name
வானமே ஒடிவந்து
கையில் வந்தபோது
கிராமமே போதுமுன்னு
கத்து கொடுத்தா
When the whole sky came running
And landed into her hands
Saying the village alone is enough
She taught the world
கீழிறங்கி மேலுசந்தா
எண்ணமெல்லாம் வண்ணவச்ச
அன்னபூரணி
Stepping down and rising high
Filling every thought with vibrant colors
Annapoorani
நட்டா விதையெல்லாம்
எல்லாருக்கும் பூவ நீட்டுமே
ஒளி பட்டா வெயில்
எல்லாருக்கும் காற்று கேக்குமே
All the seeds planted with care
Will bloom into flowers for everyone
The bright sunlight that shines
Will warm and heal everyone
வந்தா அவ காவேரியா
ஊரே பூக்குமே
அவ தந்த பலம்
உன்ன செல்ல பாத கோக்குமே
She arrived like the river Cauvery
Making the whole town bloom
The strength she bestowed
Paves the path to move forward
சின்னக்கா தொழில்காரி
செம்பா பாட்டி முதலாளி
முருவிக்கும் தல மேல
கீரிடம் ஏத்துறா
Chinnakka, the hard worker
Semba grandma, the entrepreneur
Upon the heads of all three
She places a crown
சகதி நிலவாகி
சந்ததிக்கே விளக்காகி
சுண்டக்கை சோறு திங்க
வாழ்வ மாத்துறா
Turning swampy mud into clear moonlight
Becoming an eternal guiding lamp for generations
Eating simple berry rice
She changes the fate of lives
தங்கமே இனி நாக்கில்
சொல்லாயிருப்பா
Oh pure gold, now on the tongue
To speak with ultimate sweetness
நட்டா விதையெல்லாம்
எல்லாருக்கும் பூவ நீட்டுமே
ஒளி பட்டா வெயில்
எல்லாருக்கும் காற்று கேக்குமே
All the seeds planted with care
Will bloom into flowers for everyone
The bright sunlight that shines
Will warm and heal everyone
வந்தா அவ காவேரியா
ஊரே பூக்குமே
அவ தந்த பலம்
உன்ன செல்ல பாத கோக்குமே
She arrived like the river Cauvery
Making the whole town bloom
The strength she bestowed
Paves the path to move forward
Aduppil pugai aagum
Becomes smoke in the kitchen stove
Pombalainga vazhkai
Women's lives
Yeniya pottaalae
If a ladder is set up
Yeri vandhu paarkka
To climb up and see

To gather soft cotton
Sidharum jeevangala
The scattered living souls
Noolu eduthu korkka
To thread them together
Pullaya thookkittu
Carrying her child
Pullarukkum kaattil

Ellaiya thaandi
Crossing all boundaries
Oru peru thara paartha
