Maargazhiyil kulichu paaru
Kuliru pazhagi pogum
Maadhavanaa vaazhndhu paaru
Varumai pazhagi pogum
Uppillaama kudichchu paaru
Kanji pazhagi pogum
Paai ilaama paduththu paaru
Thookkam pazhagi pogum
Varumaiyodu irundhu paaru
Vaazhvu pazhagi pogum
Sandhosaththa veruthu paaru
Saavu pazhagi pogum
Maargazhiyil kulichu paaru
Kuliru pazhagi pogum
Maadhavanaa vaazhndhu paaru
Varumai pazhagi pogum
Ennoda soththellaam

Maargazhiyil kulichu paaru
Kuliru pazhagi pogum

Ha... ah... ah... ha... ah... ah...
Ha... ah... ah... ha... ah... ah...
Try bathing in the cold month of Margazhi,
you will get used to the chill.
Try living like an ascetic,
you will get used to poverty.
Try drinking without any salt,
you will get used to plain porridge.
Try lying down without a mat,
you will get used to sleeping anywhere.
Try living alongside poverty,
you will get used to life.
Try letting go of worldly pleasures,
you will get used to death.
Try bathing in the cold month of Margazhi,
you will get used to the chill.
Try living like an ascetic,
you will get used to poverty.
All of my worldly possessions,
I have lost them all.
Now, in my own name,
I have claimed the whole world!
To a hermit, a house and land
mean nothing at all.
To a little sparrow, money
is never a need.
A gentle, cool breeze,
water flowing from a spring,
porridge when you are hungry,
sleep when you lie down—
this is enough, it is enough,
it is more than enough, dear Lord!
If I tell it which way to spin,
the earth itself will turn!
Try bathing in the cold month of Margazhi,
you will get used to the chill.
Try living like an ascetic,
you will get used to poverty.
Ha... ah... ah... ha... ah... ah...
Ha... ah... ah... ha... ah... ah...
Money and wealth do not
bring true happiness.
A sparkling diamond stone
does not taste as sweet as a grain of rice.
Like a heart that feels 'this is enough,'
there is no greater wealth.
Like one's own loyal wife,
there is no greater god.
The cool shade of a neem tree,
a cuckoo whistling its song,
the chime of cattle bells,
an old couple's tender kiss—
this is enough, it is enough,
it is more than enough, dear Lord!
Show me a man anywhere
who lives more content than me!
Try bathing in the cold month of Margazhi,
you will get used to the chill.
Try living like an ascetic,
you will get used to poverty.
Try drinking without any salt,
you will get used to plain porridge.
Try lying down without a mat,
you will get used to sleeping anywhere.
Try living alongside poverty,
you will get used to life.
Try letting go of worldly pleasures,
you will get used to death.
Try bathing in the cold month of Margazhi,
you will get used to the chill.
Try living like an ascetic,
you will get used to poverty.
