Naalu peril rendu peru
Porandha mannu

Irukkura mannu
Idhu thirumuttam poovaraahan
Vasikkira mannu
Pasiya pokkura vallalaaru
Inga oliya vaazhum vadalooru
Naanga vaazhum jilalvukkae
Thalainagaram cuddalore-uu
Ennoda attatha

Nellu velaiyura marudhooru
Karagam eduthu aadum

Chozha mannavaru vaazhntha naadu

Two out of every four people
were born in this soil!
This is the land blessed by
the Lord of Dance (Nataraja)!
The land that gave us
the great Ponniyin Selvan!
This is our rich soil
where pure gold grows!
The sacred land where
Chidambaram Nataraja lives!
The holy soil where
Srimushnam Bhuvarahan dwells!
Where Vallalar, who banished hunger,
lives as divine light in Vadalur!
And the capital of this whole district
where we live is Cuddalore!
When I dance my steps,
the young men watch in awe!
Fresh as raw fruit on a green branch,
my beauty shines bright!
Even tottering old men
widen their eyes to stare!
And right into my blouse,
they stuff their hard-earned money!
Our town, oh our town,
is Maruthur where paddy grows!
For me, dancing with the Karagam pot,
my own native hometown
is Parathur!
South Arcot is our land,
yes, our very own land!
Once known as Nadu Naadu!
The land where Chola kings once ruled!
The fertile land where the Thenpennai river flows!
When I dance my steps,
the young men watch in awe!
Fresh as raw fruit on a green branch,
my beauty shines bright!
Even tottering old men
widen their eyes to stare!
And right into my blouse,
they stuff their hard-earned money!
Like lush tapioca grown
in fertile Sethiapalayam,
shall we pair up and see?
Male: From Kattumannarkudi to Lalpet,
tender betel leaf vine,
shall I check your pulse and see?
If you smile at me like a ceramic doll
made in Vriddhachalam,
I'll take a brick from Kushipalayam
and smash it right on your head!
Male: Shall I buy and bring you
a silk saree from Bhuvanagiri?
Female: I'll punch you on the face
and break your nose in two!
Male: Hey, like Neyveli electricity,
don't surge into my heart!
With your kohl-lined eyes,
don't flash lightning at me, hey!
South Arcot is our land,
yes, our very own land!
Once known as Nadu Naadu!
The land where Chola kings once ruled!
The fertile land where the Thenpennai river flows!
Shall we take a stroll around
the woods of Pichavaram?
Inside that mangrove forest,
shall we catch prawns and crabs?
Like sweet Parangipettai halwa,
just eat me right up!
I am a girl with a heart full of love,
offer the bride-price and make me yours!
I've surrendered and come to you,
drawn by your stunning beauty!
If you give me a sweet kiss,
there is no wrong in it, girl!
Female: Don't crush and squeeze me
like a Nellikuppam sugar mill!
Don't wither away and dry up
like dried gooseberry slices!
Male: Like the rushing Kollidam river,
don't leap and run away!
I'm coming to hold you in my desire,
don't hold me back, hey!
South Arcot is our land,
yes, our very own land!
Once known as Nadu Naadu!
The land where Chola kings once ruled!
The fertile land where the Thenpennai river flows!
When you dance your steps,
the young men watch in awe!
Fresh as raw fruit on a green branch,
your beauty shines bright!
Even tottering old men
widen their eyes to stare!
And right into your blouse,
they stuff their hard-earned money!
Hey!
Our town, oh our town,
is Maruthur where paddy grows!
For me, dancing with the Karagam pot,
my own native hometown
is Parathur!
