Pazhaiya kuppai ellaam
Bogiyilae erikkanum…
Pudhiya velicham thaan
Boomiyilae porakkanum…
Velanja nelmani thaan
Veedu vandhu seranum…
Ozhaicha ozhaippellaam
Aruvadaiyil paakkanum…
Aahaa thai pirandhadhu
Yer pidithavan kai uyarndhadhu
Pongalum pongudhadi
Ponga paal niraindhadhu
Poongarumbinil thaen vazhindhadhu
Thangamae thangamadi
Nalla naal indha naal
Nanmaigal vandha naal
Nambinor vaazhndhida
Naambikkai thandha naal

All the old waste
Must be burned away on Bhogi (eve of harvest festival)...
A brand-new light
Must be born upon this earth...
The ripened grains of paddy
Must reach our homes safely...
All our hard labor
Must show in the rich harvest...
Ah, the month of Thai is born!
The ploughman's hand is raised high with pride!
The festive Pongal is boiling over!
The milk overflows as it boils,
Sweet juice drips from the fresh sugarcane,
My precious one, dear as pure gold!
This is an auspicious day,
A day that brought good fortune,
So those who believed may thrive,
A day that gave them hope!
To the beat of the drums,
Sing out so the whole village gathers!
O Tamilian, only if you step forward
Will Tamil Nadu prosper!
Wherever injustice happens,
Raise your flag high!
To build a bright future,
Swim against the tide!
Whatever stands in your way,
Crush it into dust!
Let us work to bring good
To each and every person!
All the wicked evils,
Let us tear down and destroy!
If anyone cheats other people,
I will never let him off!
To knock good sense into him,
I will rap him on the head!
All his dirty secrets,
I will expose in the open square!
The song we take up and sing
Is a firecracker bursting across the town!
Self-respect and honor
Are our greatest wealth, my friend!
No one can ever
Steal that away from us!
The honest work we do
Is our true God!
There will never ever be
Any shortage in our lives!
The road our feet walk
Is a straight and upright path!
Justice and righteousness
Are the Gita (sacred guide) we live by!
Whatever we set our minds to will succeed,
There is no defeat for us!
Right to our very doorstep,
Victory will surely come!
Around you,
And around me, it will circle!
The tune we raise and sing
Brings a time of great awakening!
Ah, the month of Thai is born!
The ploughman's hand is raised high with pride!
The festive Pongal is boiling over!
The milk overflows as it boils,
Sweet juice drips from the fresh sugarcane,
My precious one, dear as pure gold!
This is an auspicious day,
A day that brought good fortune,
So those who believed may thrive,
A day that gave them hope!
To the beat of the drums,
Sing out so the whole village gathers!
