Poraalae ponnu thaayi
Pogira pokkil manasa thottu
Thara paarkkum karudha pola
Vekka pattu
Poraalae ponnu thaayi
Puzhudhi kaattil manasa vittu
Ullooru pollaapukku
Kattu pattu
Vellamai neethaan
Vellaadu naathaan
Vekkatha vittu thallamaa aa
Vellaamai kaatta
Vittu thara maattaa
Panpaada katti kaakkum
Patti kaattu karuthammaa
Poraalae ponnu thaayi
Pogira pokkil manasa thottu
Thara paarkkum karudha pola
Vekka pattu
Poraalae ponnu thaayi
Puzhudhi kaattil manasa vittu
Ullooru pollaapukku
Kattu pattu
Padikkadha pulla
Manasellaam vella
Ivaladhu naakkula pokkula
Manasula kallamilla
Un melae kirukku
Ulloora irukku
Vaai vittu chollathaanae
Thodhu illa thodhu illa
Vaigaikku kadalai chera
Yogamilla yogamilla
Athu sari vyazhanum velliyum
Iruppadhu dhooramilla…aaa…
Poraalae ponnu thaayi
Pogira pokkil manasa thottu
Thara paarkkum karudha pola
Vekka pattu
Nee kanda valli
Chappaathi kalli
Kalliyin ilaiyilum kaayilum
Kaniyilum mullirukkum
Adi podi kalli
Neethaandi alli
Kandaangi selai kattum
Kannagiyae kannagiyae
Un kosuvathil usura katti
Kolluriyae kolluriyae
Vara vara pombala pozhappaiyae
Vambula maatturiyae….eeee

There goes Ponnuthaayi,
Touching my heart as she walks past,
Bowing her head like an ear of ripe grain,
Blushing in sweet shyness.
There goes Ponnuthaayi,
Leaving her heart behind in this dusty field,
Bound by the fear
Of village gossip and ill will.
You are the lush green crop,
And I am the grazing goat,
Won't you cast your shyness aside?
Her harvest fields
She will never surrender,
Guarding traditions and dignity
Stands this village girl, Karuththamma.
There goes Ponnuthaayi,
Touching my heart as she walks past,
Bowing her head like an ear of ripe grain,
Blushing in sweet shyness.
There goes Ponnuthaayi,
Leaving her heart behind in this dusty field,
Bound by the fear
Of village gossip and ill will.
She is an uneducated girl,
With a heart as pure as white,
In her words and in her ways,
There is no deceit in her heart.
A mad longing for you
Dwells deep inside her,
Yet to speak it out loud,
There is no opening, no way.
For the Vaigai river to merge into the sea,
Fate has offered no blessing.
Even so, Jupiter and Venus
Are never really far apart...
There goes Ponnuthaayi,
Touching my heart as she walks past,
Bowing her head like an ear of ripe grain,
Blushing in sweet shyness.
The woman you see
Is like a prickly cactus,
On the cactus leaf and on its raw fruit,
And even on its sweet fruit, there are thorns.
Oh, go on, you sly girl,
You are truly a tender water lily!
Draped in a traditional Kandaangi sari,
Oh Kannagi, my virtuous Kannagi,
Tying my life to the pleats of your sari,
You are driving me crazy, killing me with love!
As the days go by, this woman's simple life
You keep dragging into trouble!
There goes Ponnuthaayi,
Male: There goes Ponnuthaayi,
Female: Leaving her heart behind in this dusty field,
Bound by the fear
Of village gossip and ill will,
Male: Bound and helpless.
There goes Ponnuthaayi,
Leaving her heart behind in this dusty field,
Bound by the fear
Of village gossip and ill will.
You are the lush green crop,
And I am the grazing goat,
Won't you cast your shyness aside?
Her harvest fields
She will never surrender,
Guarding traditions and dignity
Stands this village girl, Karuththamma.
There goes Ponnuthaayi,
Touching my heart as she walks past,
Bowing her head like an ear of ripe grain,
Blushing in sweet shyness.
There goes Ponnuthaayi,
Leaving her heart behind in this dusty field,
Bound by the fear
Of village gossip and ill will.
