Hey boy, my fine grey bull!

The farmer who yokes the plough and feeds the world...
Is second to none, oh Mahamayi (Mother Goddess)!
Chorus: Jinthanukku jinthanukku jinthanukku jinjintha
The worker whose sweat drops from his brow to the soil...
If he stands tall, even his hut is a grand tower, oh Mahamayi!
Chorus: Jinthanukku jinthanukku jinthanukku
Only if our people step into the mud,
Can the rest of the world eat their food!
Chorus: Only if our people step into the mud,
Can the rest of the world eat their food!
Male: Yeah!
Ah, dingu dingu dinguda!
Otherwise, you will get no food!
In every scoop of harvested grain,
Our name will be written!
With flags flying in all eight directions,
Our grand chariot will roll ahead!
Oh loving Sun!
Male: Oh Moon whose beauty never fades, hey!
Hey hey!
Farms waiting only for rain from the sky are in the past...
Science now turns the sky itself into farmland!
Chorus: Jinthanukku jinthanukku jinthanukku jinjintha
The blue sky is our fertile field...
A garden yielding three harvests of paddy!
Chorus: Jinthanukku jinthanukku jinthanukku
In the world of tomorrow,
We will plough the mud on the moon!
Male and Chorus: Taking Ponni paddy saplings,
We will plant them across the blue sky!
Ah, dingu dingu dinguda!
Otherwise, you will get no food!
Across the realm of the stars,
We will sow green paddy!
Bringing it back down in rockets,
We will satisfy the Earth's hunger!
Oh loving Sun!
Male: Oh Moon whose beauty never fades!
Our loving Sun!
Male: Oh Moon whose beauty never fades!
Everything will succeed!
Yes, everything will succeed!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic folk song celebrates the vital role of farmers in sustaining human life. It emphasizes that societal survival depends entirely on the hard work of farmers who toil in the mud to put food on everyone's plate. The lyrics take an imaginative and futuristic turn by envisioning a future where science enables agricultural cultivation beyond Earth—specifically in space, on the moon, and among stars—to feed the world and wipe out global hunger.
