Annaadam kashta pattaalum
Engalukkum aandukkoru ponga varudhu
Manushanga thaan yaeichu puttaalum
Indha boomi mattum ponna pola
Alli tharudhu pongalo pongalu
Pacharisi pongalu
Haa paal vazhinju ponganum
Pangu vechu thinganum
Annaadam kashta pattaalum
Engalukkum aandukkoru ponga varudhu
Manushanga thaan yaeichu puttaalum
Indha boomi mattum ponna pola alli tharudhu
Em maela kanna vechu
En nenja ponga vechae
Poovoda pottu vechae
Poo maala engae vechae
Aasa pongudhu onga mela
Aavi thangudhu ongalaala
Kaaveri pola pongum aasa
Kai sera than thudikkum
Kaiyoda vandhu serum podhu
Themmaangu thaan padikkum en maamaa
Annaadam kashta pattaalum
Engalukkum aandukkoru ponga varudhu
Manushanga thaan yaeichu puttaalum
Indha boomi mattum ponna pola
Allit tharudhu pongalo pongalu
Pacharisi pongalu
Haa paal vazhinju ponganum
Pangu vechu thinganum
Annaadam kashta pattaalum
Engalukkum aandukkoru ponga varudhu
Manushanga thaan yaeichu puttaalum
Indha boomi mattum ponna pola alli tharudhu
Yaedhaedho aasa patten
Ellaamae kai koodudhu
Ennoda vaazhkkai ellaam
Un ennam pan paadudhu
Tholil soodanum maala pola
Mela podanum saela pola
Oorkolam poga naal onnu irukku
Unnoda naan kalandhu
Maar meedhu kooda manavarai irukku
Manjathilae sugam koottura kanakku
Annaadam kashta pattaalum
Engalukkum aandukkoru ponga varudhu
Manushanga thaan yaeichu puttaalum
Indha boomi mattum ponna pola allit tharudhu
Pongalo pongalu
Pacharisi pongalu
Haa paal vazhinju ponganum
Pangu vechu thinganum
Annaadam kashta pattaalum
Engalukkum aandukkoru ponga varudhu
Manushanga thaan yaeichu puttaalum
Indha boomi mattum ponna pola alli tharudhu
Even if we struggle every single day,
Pongal comes for us too, once a year!
Even if other people deceive and cheat us,
this earth alone, like pure gold,
gives generously! Pongalo Pongal!
The raw-rice harvest Pongal!
Ah, the milk must boil over and spill,
and we must share it and feast together!
Even if we struggle every single day,
Pongal comes for us too, once a year!
Even if people deceive and cheat us,
this earth alone gives generously like pure gold!
Setting your eager eyes upon me,
you made my heart bubble over with joy!
You adorned me with flowers and a bindi,
but where did you keep the wedding garland?
My desire for you overflows,
and my life keeps going only because of you!
My longing surges like the overflowing river Cauvery,
yearning only to join your hands!
When I finally come into your embrace,
it will sing sweet folk melodies, my darling!
Even if we struggle every single day,
Pongal comes for us too, once a year!
Even if people deceive and cheat us,
this earth alone, like pure gold,
gives generously! Pongalo Pongal!
The raw-rice harvest Pongal!
Ah, the milk must boil over and spill,
and we must share it and feast together!
Even if we struggle every single day,
Pongal comes for us too, once a year!
Even if people deceive and cheat us,
this earth alone gives generously like pure gold!
I dreamed and longed for so many things,
and now all of them are coming true!
Through all the days of my life,
my thoughts sing along with yours!
I should drape across your shoulders like a garland,
and wrap closely around you like a saree!
A day is set for our wedding procession through town,
where I will unite as one with you!
Your loving chest is my wedding stage,
as we count all the joys of love on our bed!
Even if we struggle every single day,
Pongal comes for us too, once a year!
Even if people deceive and cheat us,
this earth alone gives generously like pure gold!
Pongalo Pongal!
The raw-rice harvest Pongal!
Ah, the milk must boil over and spill,
and we must share it and feast together!
Even if we struggle every single day,
Pongal comes for us too, once a year!
Even if people deceive and cheat us,
this earth alone gives generously like pure gold!
