Like a blooming peanut field,
My entire heart is flowering, my dear.
Every gust of breeze blowing past
Smears your sweet fragrance on me.

Your youthful age makes my longing
Look even more beautiful.

இப்போ ஓட்டிக்கிட்ட மனசுக்குள்ள
ஒத்த உசுர போல வந்த

Both your tender mango-like eyes,

You playful fighter girl,
Now you got attached inside my heart,
Coming to me like a single soul.

ஹான்ன்ன்ன்ன்....
செக்கு மாடுனாலும்
நாட்ட சுத்தி பாக்க வந்துச்சாம்
சுத்தி பாக்க துப்பு இல்லாம
மக்கு போல நின்னுச்சாம்
Haaannnn…
An oil-press bull wanted to go
Around and explore the whole land.
Lacking the means to look around,
It stood foolishly in its place.
ஒண்ணுகொண்ணு ஒத்தாசையா
வெந்த சோறுக்காக
நம்ம சொந்த ஊரவுட்டுபுட்டு
கூலிகளா வந்தோம்
Helping each other out,
Just for a meal of cooked rice,
Leaving our native land behind,
We arrived as daily wage workers.
மேகம் மறைச்சாலும்...ஆ....
மேகம் மறைச்சாலும்
நிலவொளியோ வெளியே வரும்
சோகத்தையே தூளாக்க
காலம் நம்ம கூட வரும்
எல்லாம் நம்ம ஊரு
முப்பாட்டன் கணியன் சொன்னத கேளு
தேமாங்கனி தேமாங்கனி
தேமாங்கனி தேமாங்கனி
தேமாங்கனி தேமாங்கனி
தேமாங்கனி தேமாங்கனி
தேமாங்கனி
Even if clouds hide it,
Even if clouds hide it,
The moonlight will eventually shine through.
To shatter all our sorrows,
Time will walk alongside us.
Every place belongs to us,
Listen to what our ancestor Kaniyan said.
Oh sweet mango fruit, sweet mango fruit!
Oh sweet mango fruit, sweet mango fruit!
Oh sweet mango fruit, sweet mango fruit!
Oh sweet mango fruit, sweet mango fruit!
Oh sweet mango fruit!
