To cook the Pongal, to cook the Pongal,
fetch the turmeric, fetch the turmeric,
little sister, little sister, little sister!
To cook the Pongal, to cook the Pongal,
fetch the turmeric, fetch the turmeric,
little sister, little sister, little sister!
The dry lands and the wet fields,
this earth and God above,
are on our side now, on our side, on our side!
The dry lands and the wet fields,
this earth and God above,
are on our side now, on our side, on our side!
The month when flowers blossom
is the harvest month of Thai!
Chorus: Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Female: Spreading all through the village
is the sweet scent of flowers!
Chorus: Mmm mmm mmm mmm
As little parrots flutter and dance,
and cuckoos sing sweet folk tunes,

come together at this very moment!

To cook the Pongal, to cook the Pongal,
fetch the turmeric, fetch the turmeric,
little sister, little sister, little sister!
The dry lands and the wet fields,
this earth and God above,
are on our side now, on our side, on our side!
The flowing canals
and the open green fields
were created just for me
by our village goddess!
Rustic folk tunes
and street plays—
the thought of them sweetens
every day of my life!
Together with the children,
young girls dance along,
as a gentle breeze drifts by
and a musical southern breeze sings!
Oh oh oh...
Oh... oh... oh...
The month when flowers blossom
is the harvest month of Thai!
Chorus: Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Female: Spreading all through the village
is the sweet scent of flowers!
Chorus: Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...
It has been so many days
since I last slept,
why has such a sweet passion
come over me?
My milk-fair body
has grown as slender as a thread,
why has such a longing thirst
awakened within it?
With millions of thoughts
racing through my heart,
is it searching for who my prince is,
and finding its match the moment I see you?
Oh oh oh...
Oh... oh... oh...
The month when flowers blossom
is the harvest month of Thai!
Chorus: Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Female: Spreading all through the village
is the sweet scent of flowers!
Chorus: Mmm mmm mmm mmm
As little parrots flutter and dance,
and cuckoos sing sweet folk tunes,

come together at this very moment!

To cook the Pongal, to cook the Pongal,
fetch the turmeric, fetch the turmeric,
little sister, little sister, little sister!
The dry lands and the wet fields,
this earth and God above,
are on our side now, on our side, on our side!
