| Poraalae poraalae | She is leaving, she is leaving |
| Sontha mannai vittu poraalae | Leaving her native land behind, she is leaving |
| Thaaraalae thaaraalae thaanamaaga | She gives, she gives, as a generous gift |
| Alli thaaraalae | She gives abundantly with open hands |
| Iva manasula valiyum illa | There is no pain in her heart |
| Kannula thuliyumilla | There is not even a drop of tear in her eyes |
| Vayaso rompa sirusu | Her age is very young |
| Manaso rompa perusu | Her heart is very big |
| Poraalae poraalae poraalae | She is leaving, she is leaving, she is leaving |
போறாளே போறாளே
சொந்த மண்ணை விட்டு போறலே
தாறாலே தாறாலே தானமாக
அள்ளி தாறாலே
இவ மனசுல வலியும் இல்ல
கண்ணுல துளியுமில்ல
வயசோ ரொம்ப சிறுசு
மனசோ ரொம்ப பெருசு
போறாளே போறாளே போறாளே
She is leaving, she is leaving
Leaving her native land behind, she is leaving
She gives, she gives, as a generous gift
She gives abundantly with open hands
There is no pain in her heart
There is not even a drop of tear in her eyes
Her age is very young
Her heart is very big
She is leaving, she is leaving, she is leaving
Poraalae poraalae
She is leaving, she is leaving
Sontha mannai vittu poraalae
Leaving her native land behind, she is leaving
Thaaraalae thaaraalae thaanamaaga
She gives, she gives, as a generous gift
Alli thaaraalae
She gives abundantly with open hands
Iva manasula valiyum illa
There is no pain in her heart
Kannula thuliyumilla
There is not even a drop of tear in her eyes
Vayaso rompa sirusu
Her age is very young
Manaso rompa perusu
Her heart is very big
Poraalae poraalae poraalae
She is leaving, she is leaving, she is leaving
