Muththu muththu pottu eduththu
Kattu kattu maala kattu
Akkaa magalukku akkaa magalukku
Akkaa magalukku akkaa magalukku
Pattu pattu kaanjipattu
Thanga thattil seeru vaippaen
Akkaa magalukku akkaa magalukku
Akkaa magalukku akkaa magalukku
Santhana kumbaa manjal irukku
Kunguma kinnam kooda irukku
Chiththiraththa pola ava irukkaa

Pick up pearl-like bindis,
Weave the garlands, string them tight,
For my sister's daughter, for my sister's daughter!
For my sister's daughter, for my sister's daughter!
Silk, pure Kanchipuram silk,
I will present gifts on a golden plate,
For my sister's daughter, for my sister's daughter!
For my sister's daughter, for my sister's daughter!
Here is a bowl of sandalwood and turmeric,
And here is a cup of red kumkum too.
She looks just like a beautiful painting,
Shall I buy and give her whatever she asks?
Beat the drums! Keep the rhythm!
Let the drumbeats gather people from all eight towns around!
Beat the drums! Keep the rhythm!
Let the drumbeats gather people from all eight towns around!
Pick up pearl-like bindis,
Weave the garlands, string them tight,
For my sister's daughter, for my sister's daughter!
Silk, pure Kanchipuram silk,
I will present gifts on a golden plate,
For my sister's daughter, for my sister's daughter!
Just like that Kohinoor diamond
that sits far away in England,
shall I offer it as a gift to my golden girl?
Like the royal dress Queen Elizabeth wears,
shall I search and find one,
to dress my beautiful girl and admire her?
I will never promise what I cannot do,
and once I give my word, I won't stop till it is done.
I will never look at any other girl,
and I will never cross the line my sister's daughter draws.
Our guardian deity is Lord Veeran,
and our village cooks sweet rice in worship to him.
Beat the drums! Keep the rhythm!
Let the drumbeats gather people from all eight towns around!
Pick up pearl-like bindis,
Weave the garlands, string them tight,
For my sister's daughter, for my sister's daughter!
Silk, pure Kanchipuram silk,
I will present gifts on a golden plate,
For my sister's daughter, for my sister's daughter!
Look at the smile of my sister's daughter,
pearls seem to scatter all around,
like the leaping waterfalls of Courtallam!
Look at her shining, pearl-like eyes,
the stars twinkle with coy charm,
as if the doors of the Mutharamman temple are opening!
The time we waited for is finally lending a helping hand,
as the village folk look on with awe and envy.
Good fortune has smiled upon all the blooming flowers,
drunk on the bride's beauty, they dance in joy.
There is only one more day left for the festival,
the day the sacred golden thali will be tied.
Beat the drums! Keep the rhythm!
Let the drumbeats gather people from all eight towns around!
Pick up pearl-like bindis,
Weave the garlands, string them tight,
For my sister's daughter, for my sister's daughter!
Silk, pure Kanchipuram silk,
I will present gifts on a golden plate,
For my sister's daughter, for my sister's daughter!
Here is a bowl of sandalwood and turmeric,
And here is a cup of red kumkum too.
She looks just like a beautiful painting,
Shall I buy and give her whatever she asks?
Beat the drums! Keep the rhythm!
Let the drumbeats gather people from all eight towns around!
Beat the drums! Keep the rhythm!
Let the drumbeats gather people from all eight towns around!
Pick up pearl-like bindis,
Weave the garlands, string them tight,
For my sister's daughter, for my sister's daughter!
