Our dear Chinnamma,
the news that she is pregnant,
beat the announcement drum and spread the word, brother!
Hey, grab the drums of Vadipatti!
Take up the thavil drums of Valayapatti!
Proclaim it so all our kin and folks know!
The Thanjavur drums and the Coimbatore nadaswaram pipes,
play them together and blow them loud!
The urumi drum of Sholavandan and the dance of Allinagaram,
beat the drums so eight villages around can hear!
Hey, beat the rhythm together!
Chorus: Beat the rhythm together!
Male: Lord Ayyanar gave his word!
Chorus: Lord Ayyanar gave his word!
Male: Chinnamma is pregnant!
Chorus: Chinnamma is pregnant!
Male: Ask for whatever you want!
Chorus: Ask for whatever you want!
Hey young girls, dance away!
Raise your joyful kulavai (celebratory ululations)!
Will it be a boy or a girl?
We might get twins, trust me!
Ochayi...
Chorus: Ochayi...
Our Chinnamma is going to have a baby!
That child will arrive like a chariot of pearls!

Male: Lord Ayyanar gave his word!
Chorus: Lord Ayyanar gave his word!
Seeking the blessing of a child,
for the young bride who came with faith,
eight cradles are already rocking in our house!
Female: All that my heart desires
is to have sixteen children,
my ledger is still eight short, my dear man!
If another eight are born,
we can open a school of our own!
Female: When the village election comes around,
their father can contest and win easily!
Male: Praising you as a brave mother,
you can win a title of honor!
Beat the rhythm together!

Sweet little desires
are floating before my eyes.
It has been days since the thali (sacred wedding thread) was bought and kept ready!
Male: A pure golden doll
is calling out in deep longing,
restless as she counts the days to adorn bridal flowers!
Sprinkled with fragrant jasmine blossoms,
the bed is drawing me in!
Just like an incense stick,
my heart within is melting away.
Male: Lost in romantic thoughts,
her saree gently slips at the waist!
Beat the rhythm together!
Chorus: Beat the rhythm together!
Male: Lord Ayyanar gave his word!
