A good time has arrived,
It has truly arrived!
Everything we laid our hands on
Has flourished and prospered!
The paddy crop we planted
With all our hopes has now ripened!
Toiling day and night,
Carefully watering the fields,
To harvest the golden stalks,
Looking for the sickle...
We will pack and store away
The rich harvest!
Beside the well, in the granary, we will store
The rich harvest!
Beside the well, in the granary, we will store
The rich harvest!
While planting the seedlings,
I was watching you, my lovely peacock;
Now I too am waiting for the harvest,
How is it fair for you
To walk away without even looking at me?
Oh sweet-talking lover boy,
You sneaky, mischievous rogue,
You make even a banyan tree fall for you!
You thread the needle without even asking for it!
You thread the needle without even asking for it!
When we thresh the harvest,
Chorus: Alelangadi Elelo!
Alelangadi Elelo!
Male: All our hardships fall away!
Chorus: Alelangadi Elelo!
Alelangadi Elelo!
Like sparkling beads of gold,
Chorus: Alelangadi Elelo!
Alelangadi Elelo!
Male: The grains of paddy pour down!
Chorus: Alelangadi Elelo!
Alelangadi Elelo!
We will all live happily together,
And our granary stands tall!
We will winnow away all the chaff,
And our hungry bellies will be full!
Like this, oh like this,
What work on earth is greater?
Cutting and bundling the crop neatly,
Measuring and pouring the threshed grain,
As she brings and holds out the marakkaal (traditional grain measure),
Her beloved's smile fills up the sacks of grain!
You have never worked properly,
Nor have you understood the ways of the world;
Trusting a useless man like you,
I will never come with you!
No matter what trump card you play,
I will not fall for it!
No matter what trump card you play,
I will not fall for it!
Hey, like the swift steps of a peacock by the spring,
Like the proud stride of a Mayavaram rooster,
Our life moves briskly along!
Without sleep and braving hunger,
We toiled together in the fields;
Our future will surely be bright!
Hey, my precious gold,
Those who ride in cars mean nothing;
Hey, my precious gold,
The earth we plough is our true mother!
There is rich abundance,
There is great prosperity!
Isn't this very soil
The guiding light of our family?
Let us stay united
And join hands for our freedom!
