Kombaana kombu vecha
Maadu namma selvammadi
Thembaavae neeyum adha
Kaatha kurai illayadi
Senjaanthu pottu vechu
Maata nedham kumbidadi
Dheivaamsam ellaam unna
Thedi vandhae thangumadi
Seera seera
Maaman seera
Serum maadu
Unna nambi vaazha vandha…
Thaeraa thaeraa
Oonjal thaeraa
Neeyum aada
Potta pulla aala vandha
Soothu sogam neeyaaga
Sondha bandham nooraaga
Sitham adhu un moonja
Paakka paakka yelelo
Kattaan thara kaathoda
Kummalam dhaan nee poda
Satham podum un madiya
Kekka kekka thaalelo
Kombaana kombu vecha
Maadu namma selvammadi
Thembaavae neeyum adha
Kaatha kurai illayadi
Senjaanthu pottu vechu
Maata nedham kumbidadi
Dheivaamsam ellaam unna
Thedi vandhae thangumadi
Kaayatha kaadae
Kanjaalum kalla kaadan
Kaaya maatanae
Naadaanda rasan
Saanjaalum netta vaalan
Vaazhva kaapanae
Velli nera kaangeyan
Veetukkulla vaaraaga
Aarathiyum eduthidadi
Ponnana thaaipasam
Kaimari pogaiyilum
Thaayaga un maadu
Sellamum konjumadi
Thullivarum seiyaaga
Kaiyil nee yentha
Nenachathellaam palikkumadi…
Ei vellaiyaaaa….
Kaami kaami
Edhu kaaval kaami
Kaala maada karai
Yethum saami
Odi odi
Uzhaichomae odi
Maadillaati
Suzhalaathae bhoomi
Nedham vanangum paramasivan
Veliyila varuvadhilla
Kolam velanga varamidhupol
Ulagila kadavul illa
Thadi eduthu adha adicha
Valikudhu manasukulla
Varam palavae adhu kodukka
Vanangidu kavalayilla…
Kombaana kombu vecha
Maadu namma selvammadi
Thembaavae neeyum adha
Kaatha kurai illayadi
Senjaanthu pottu vechu
Maata nedham kumbidadi
Dheivaamsam ellaam unna
Thedi vandhae thangumadi…hmmm

With magnificent, sturdy horns,
the cattle are our true wealth, girl.
If you raise and protect them with strength,
you will never face any lack.
Put a red tilak mark on its forehead,
and worship the bull every day.
All divine grace and blessings
will come looking for you and stay.
As wedding gifts,
as maternal uncle's gifts,
the cattle that joined us
came to live trusting in you...
Like a festive chariot,
like a chariot swing,
as you swing and play,
you came, dear girl, to rule this home.
You are all our comfort and delight,
with a hundred kin gathered round.
As my heart keeps gazing
upon your face, elelo!
On the open hard ground, in the breeze,
as you frolic and celebrate,
hearing the sweet sounds around your lap,
hearing it, a lullaby, thaaleelo!
With magnificent, sturdy horns,
the cattle are our true wealth, girl.
If you raise and protect them with strength,
you will never face any lack.
Put a red tilak mark on its forehead,
and worship the bull every day.
All divine grace and blessings
will come looking for you and stay.
Even if the evergreen forest
dries up, our tough Kaadan bull
will never wither or weaken.
Even if a king who ruled the land
falls from power, our long-tailed bull
will protect our livelihood!
The silver-white Kangeyam bull
is stepping into our home;
welcome him with the sacred lamp!
Even if a golden mother's love
slips away into other hands,
like a mother, your bull
will shower you with tender love.
Like a playful bouncing child,
when you hold him in your arms,
everything you wish for will come true...
Hey, Vellaiya...!
Show us, show us!
Show us who truly guards us!
The bull is the divine savior
who ferries us safely across!
Running and rushing about,
we worked relentlessly;
if not for the cattle,
this world wouldn't turn!
Lord Shiva, whom we pray to every day,
never appears out in the open.
To bless our lives with prosperity,
there is no greater god on earth!
If you take a stick and strike it,
the heart aches deep inside.
Since it grants so many blessings,
bow to it and cast your worries away...
With magnificent, sturdy horns,
the cattle are our true wealth, girl.
If you raise and protect them with strength,
you will never face any lack.
Put a red tilak mark on its forehead,
and worship the bull every day.
All divine grace and blessings
will come looking for you and stay... hmm.
