Hmm patta kastam metha undaiyaa

Mmm, the hardships we have suffered are far too many, sir!
The hardships we have suffered are far too many, sir!
The hardships we have suffered are far too many, sir!
Along with the loud beating of wedding drums,
With the husband who tied the thali (sacred marriage thread),
The hardships we have suffered are far too many, sir!
The hardships we have suffered are far too many, sir!
Gulping down country liquor,
Turning hard-earned money into ashes,
Gulping down country liquor,
Turning hard-earned money into ashes,
Muttering to himself,
Picking fights with the whole town,
Coming over again and again,
Ah, he keeps coming and standing before me, sir!
We cannot shut this clown's mouth, sir!
He keeps coming and standing before me, sir!
We cannot shut this clown's mouth, sir!
Come, my love, come, my love,
So I may live my life with you!
Searching and searching all day long,
If this flower-like girl's eyes grow weary,
If the gentle breeze delays to blow,
This tender body will not survive!
Come, my love, come, my love,
So I may live my life with you!
When his own wedded wife
Is burning in the fire of misery,
When his own wedded wife
Is burning in the fire of misery,
He stands far away and just stares,
Without even asking what is wrong!
He ruined himself with drinking, sir!
This clown has become filthy like an open gutter, sir!
He ruined himself with drinking, sir!
This clown has become filthy like an open gutter, sir!
Alas, he ruined himself with drinking, sir!
This clown has become filthy like an open gutter, sir!
I do not have a Kanchipuram silk saree,
Nor a Kandangi saree with zari (gold thread),
I do not have a Kanchipuram silk saree,
Nor a Kandangi saree with zari (gold thread),
Wearing just an eight-rupee saree,
When I walked by this way,
You grab my hand and pull me, sir!
It is all the doing of that liquor, sir!
Aha, you grab my hand and pull me, sir!
Ah, it is all the doing of that liquor, sir!
A woman who has lost her good sense,
And a man who has lost all his ways,
Will suffer worse than a dog—
That is what the wise elders said!
That is what the wise elders said!
Are the hardships we suffered small?
Have our children longed and wept for only a little while?
Are the hardships we suffered small?
Have our children longed and wept for only a little while?
Ah, just like Panchali (Draupadi) in the old days,
Who let her hair loose in anger,
If the Panchalis of today
Untie and loose their hair in protest,
Put an end to drinking liquor, sir,
And we will tie our hair back, sir!
Hey, put an end to drinking liquor, sir,
And we will tie our hair back, sir!
