Hoo oo oo hoo oo hoo oo oooo
Hoo oo oo hoo oo hoo oo oooo
Pearl-like raw rice,
Poured into the pot for Pongal today!
Pongalo Pongal, oh Pongalo Pongal!
Hoo oo oo hoo oo hoo oo oooo
I will not charge interest upon interest anymore,
I will not chase the poor to their doorsteps for money!
Chorus: Hoo oo oo hoo oo hoo oo oooo
Female: I will not hoard heaps of money,
I will not make a living by ruining families!
I will not make a living by ruining families!
Clearing the forests,
Clearing the forests and toiling hard to build the country,
The golden people,
Must take honest vows without deceit,
And give up the bad habits,
That have been ruining them!
I will not go to gamble on cards anymore,
I will not make a living through theft!
Male: Aa... aa... aa... haa... aa... aa... aa...
Female: I will not go to gamble on cards anymore,
I will not make a living through theft!
I will not run to bet money on racehorses,
I will not stand in the witness box and give false testimony!
I will not stand in the witness box and give false testimony!
Clearing the forests... hoo hoo aa aa
Clearing the forests and toiling hard to build the country,
The golden people,
Must take honest vows without deceit,
And give up the bad habits,
That have been ruining them!
I celebrated wildly and got drunk,
And beat my wife and children!
I celebrated wildly and got drunk,
And beat my wife and children!
I fell into the sewer drain all by myself,
And caught frogs and swallowed them!
Hoo oo oo hoo oo hoo oo oooo
From now on, I won't go near the liquor shop,
I will not talk back to my mother,
I will not speak words that should never be said,
Even if it kills me, I will never touch alcohol again!
Even if it kills me, I will never touch alcohol again!
Clearing the forests... hoo hoo aa aa
Clearing the forests and toiling hard to build the country,
The golden people,
Must take honest vows without deceit,
And give up the bad habits,
That have been ruining them!
