Vaangi vachchen voottukkulla
Kudumpa nadaththa vaadi pulla
Adi akkaa peththa makkaacholam
Maavu araikka aattukkallu
Manjal araikka ammikkallu

Hey, a stone mortar to grind the batter,
and a flat grinding stone to grind turmeric,
I bought them and set them inside our house;
come, my girl, to run our home!
Oh, you sweet corn born to my sister!
A stone mortar to grind the batter,
and a flat grinding stone to grind turmeric—
just buying them isn't enough, mister!
Place a wedding garland on me, and I'll come!
Oh, my young man who keeps hovering around me,
you are truly one of a kind!
I set my eyes on you,
and now look, love has blossomed!
Female: Aha, I am a sweet myna bird,
and your uncle is my father!
It's a brand-new kinship, a bond all our own!
Back then, I watched and yearned with deep longing,
and now, I finally hold you in my hands, hey!
Female: With my eyes, I taught you lessons of love,
and I came rushing straight into your arms!
Hey sparkler beauty, why all this haughty pride?
I held you close against my chest!
Hey sparkler beauty, why all this haughty pride?
I held you close against my chest, hey hey!
A stone mortar to grind the batter,
and a flat grinding stone to grind turmeric,
Male: I bought them and set them inside our house;
come, my girl, to run our home!
Female: Oh, my young man who keeps hovering around me!
...
Female: ...
My beloved, to this heart of yours,
look, I have given sweet refuge,
to celebrate joy with you every day!
Male: It is a gentle, breezy evening;
what other work do we have now?
Just the sight of you makes my heart flutter!
Are you Krishna who came searching for Meera?
Are you a noble king who arrived like Rama?
Male: I must sing a duet with you;
otherwise, what else is life worth living for?
This lovely flowering vine, this playful sweet parrot,
must cling to my shoulder and dance!
This lovely flowering vine, this playful sweet parrot,
must cling to my shoulder and dance... hoy!
Hey, a stone mortar to grind the batter,
and a flat grinding stone to grind turmeric,
I bought them and set them inside our house;
come, my girl, to run our home!
Oh, you sweet corn born to my sister!
A stone mortar to grind the batter,
and a flat grinding stone to grind turmeric—
just buying them isn't enough, mister!
Place a wedding garland on me, and I'll come!
Oh, my young man who keeps hovering around me!
