Pallaakkai thookki paakka ellorum vaarunga
Pattaadai katti kondu nikkuratha paarunga
Irupathu vayasu ilagiya manasu haan
Irupathu vayasu ilagiya manasu haan
Aalaanaa ponnaagi anjaaru varusamaachchunga
……………….
Pallaakkai thookki paakka ellorum vaarunga
Pattaadai katti kondu nikkuratha paarunga
Irupathu vayasu ilagiya manasu haan
Aalaanaa ponnaagi anjaaru varusamaachchunga
……………….
Vetta vetta naanthaan thanga surangam
Un maarbodu Saernthaadum vellipadhakkam
Vetta vetta naanthaan thanga surangam
Un maarbodu Saernthaadum vellipadhakkam
Theppam mithakka oru odai irukka
Veppam thanikka kulir vaadai irukka
Maanaa Semmeenaa naan thaavi kuthikka
Maanaa Semmeenaa naan thaavi kuthikka
Pallaakkai thookki paakka ellorum vaarunga
Pattaadai katti kondu nikkuratha paarunga
Irupathu vayasu ilagiya manasu haan
Aalaanaa ponnaagi anjaaru varusamaachchunga…ha….

Pongi vachcha soru inga irukku
Idhai parimaara thalai vaazhai enga irukku
Pongi vachcha soru inga irukku
Idhai parimaara thalai vaazhai enga irukku
Unda piragum pasi uchcham irukkum
Alli koduththum idhu micham irukkum
Paaththaa nee kettaa naan vaari koduppaen
Paaththaa nee kettaa naan vaari koduppaen
Pallaakkai thookki paakka ellorum vaarunga
Pattaadai katti kondu nikkuratha paarunga
Irupathu vayasu ilagiya manasu haan
Aalaanaa ponnaagi anjaaru varusamaachchunga…ha….

Everyone come, lift the palanquin curtain and take a look!
Look at her standing there, draped in silk attire!
Twenty years old, with a gentle and tender heart, ah!
Twenty years old, with a gentle and tender heart, ah!
It has been five or six years since she grew into womanhood, sir!

Everyone come, lift the palanquin curtain and take a look!

The more you dig, the more I am a rich mine of gold!
A silver locket resting and swaying against your chest!
The more you dig, the more I am a rich mine of gold!
A silver locket resting and swaying against your chest!
While there is a stream for the raft to float upon,
While there is a cool breeze to soothe the heat,
Am I a deer or a red fish, leaping and bounds?
Am I a deer or a red fish, leaping and bounds?
Everyone come, lift the palanquin curtain and take a look!
Look at her standing there, draped in silk attire!
Twenty years old, with a gentle and tender heart, ah!
It has been five or six years since she grew into womanhood, sir... ha...

The cooked feast is waiting right here,
Where is the top plantain leaf to serve it upon?
The cooked feast is waiting right here,
Where is the top plantain leaf to serve it upon?
Even after dining, the hunger will remain at its peak,
Even after giving generously, plenty will still remain!
If you look at me and ask, I will shower it all upon you!
If you look at me and ask, I will shower it all upon you!
Everyone come, lift the palanquin curtain and take a look!
Look at her standing there, draped in silk attire!
Twenty years old, with a gentle and tender heart, ah!
It has been five or six years since she grew into womanhood, sir... ha...
