Ae haehehae haehehae haehehae
Pombalainga kaiyilae
Kudumbam irukku daa
Appaa pazhaniyappaa
Aambalaikkum adhilae pangu irukku daa
Appaa pazhaniyappaa
Sambala panathula kudumbam nadathanum
Purushan koduppadhil micha paduthanum
Viralukkaetha padi veekkam irukkanum
Varavukkaetha padi selavum irukkanum
Podhum endru manasu kondu
Vaazhndhu kaattanum
Pombalainga kaiyilae
Kudumbam irukku daa
Appaa pazhaniyappaa
Aambalaikkum adhilae pangu irukku daa
Appaa pazhaniyappaa
Kaiyil irundhaa dhaattu boottu
Kaasu theendhaa namutha vaettu
Kodu pottu vaazhndhu kaattu
Aasa kadhava poottu poottu
Pakkathu veetta paakkaadhae
Paathu puttu yaengaadhae
Purushan kitta kekkaadhae
Kaettu usura vaangaadhae
Avana nenachu idikkaadhae orala
Adhanaal velaiyum kavala kavala
Pombalainga kaiyilae
Kudumbam irukku daa
Appaa pazhaniyappaa
Aambalaikkum adhilae pangu irukku daa
Appaa pazhaniyappaa
Onnu kedachaa rendu kekkum
Manusan manasu korangu korangu
Kedacha podhum neranjidaadhu
Adhukku yaedhu varambu varambu
Kadana odana vaangaadhae
Kudumba vandi thaangaadhae
Velicham pottu kaattaadhae
Thala kuninju maattaadhae
Namma naadu kadankaara naadu
Neeyum adhula kadanaaliyaa

Hey hehehe hehehe hehehe
In the hands of women,
rests the family, my friend!
Oh Palaniyappa!
Men have a role in it too, my friend!
Oh Palaniyappa!
Run the household within the salary earned,
and save some from what the husband brings.
Let the swelling match the size of the finger,
and let expenses stay within the income.
With a heart that says "this is enough,"
live a good life to show the world!
In the hands of women,
rests the family, my friend!
Oh Palaniyappa!
Men have a role in it too, my friend!
Oh Palaniyappa!
When money is in hand, you put on a big show,
but when cash runs dry, you fizzle like a dud firecracker!
Draw your limits and live by them,
lock and bolt the doors of desire!
Don't look at what your neighbours have,
don't watch them and start longing!
Don't keep demanding from your husband,
don't badger him and torment his soul!
Don't pound the mortar venting your anger at him,
that will only yield sorrow upon sorrow!
In the hands of women,
rests the family, my friend!
Oh Palaniyappa!
Men have a role in it too, my friend!
Oh Palaniyappa!
If it gets one, it asks for two,
the human mind is a restless monkey!
Even when it gets what it wants, it is never full,
for what limit does it ever have?
Don't go taking all kinds of loans,
the cart of family life won't bear the load!
Don't flaunt yourself in the spotlight,
only to get trapped and hang your head in shame!
Our country itself is drowning in debt,
must you become a debtor as well?
In the hands of women,
rests the family, my friend!
Oh Palaniyappa!
Men have a role in it too, my friend!
Oh Palaniyappa!
Run the household within the salary earned,
and save some from what the husband brings.
Let the swelling match the size of the finger,
and let expenses stay within the income.
With a heart that says "this is enough,"
live a good life to show the world!
In the hands of women,
rests the family, my friend!
Oh Palaniyappa!
Men have a role in it too, my friend!
Oh Palaniyappa!
