Vaadipatti sandhaiyilae vanginen rendu kaala maadu
Yerapotta pogaiyilae otha matta kaanalaiyae
Adi ennadi naan seiven edha nenachu azhuven
Thondaikkul thukkam ippa adaikkuthu oru pakkam
Manasa vittudadha machaan maadu ponaa pogattum
Mavaraasa nee irundha maadu nooru vaangikalaam
Enna paaru maama nee idhukku azhuvalaama
Nugathadiya naan pudichaa yeru uzhu maama
Kaanju kedakkuthadi vayalu karuvaada pochuthadi
Penja mazhai ellam indha boomikkae sariyaachudhadi
Adi ennadi naan seiven edha nenachu azhuven
Thondaikkul thukkam ippa adaikkuthu oru pakkam
Oothukkaeni thondikuvom machaan
Oorum thanniya yerachukkuvom
Paathi katti machaan naama
Payiru senju pozhachikkuvom
Enna paaru maama nee idhukku azhuvazhaamaa
Yer ikku kaiyirukku veredhukku bayam unakku
Vayasu vandha ponna pola
Valarndhu irukku payira ippo
Vayadhaana kilavan thalapola veluthu thaanae poiyiduchu
Adi ennadi naan seiven edha nenachu azhuven
Thondaikkul thukkam ippa adaikkuthu oru pakkam
Samanju irukkum ponnu kooda sadhai pudikka naalum aagum
Thoothi adichaa payiru machaan marundhu vacha seriya pogum
Enna paaru maama nee idhukku azhuvazhaamaa
Marundhu vaangu maamaa adha serndhadippom naama
Arukka aalu kidaikaladi pulla adichu thootha edamilladi
Surukka mudichaathaanae townukku kondu poga thunai illaiyae
Adi ennadi naan seiven edha nenachu azhuven
Thondaikkul thukkam ippa adaikkuthu oru pakkam
Veveramaana aalu machaan
Neeyum vekkanketta aalu machaan
Ada chee poo machaan
Veveramaana aalu machaan neeyum
Vekkanketta aalu machaan
Surukka thaanae parisam potta
Indha sirukki un kooda varuvaa
I bought two bullocks at the Vadipatti market.
When I went to hitch the plough, one bullock was nowhere to be found!
Oh girl, what will I do? What sorrow should I cry for?
Grief is choking up in my throat right now.
Don't lose heart, Machan; if the bullock is gone, let it go!
As long as you are safe and sound, my king, we can buy a hundred bullocks!
Look at me, Mama; should you really cry over this?
If I hold the yoke for you, plough the field, Mama!
The field is lying dry, shriveled up like dried fish!
All the rain that fell was barely enough for this thirsty ground!
Oh girl, what will I do? What sorrow should I cry for?
Grief is choking up in my throat right now.
We will dig a fresh spring-well, Machan,
And draw the water that bubbles up.
We will make irrigation plots, Machan,
And grow our crops to make a living!
Look at me, Mama; should you really cry over this?
You have the plough and your two hands, what are you afraid of?
Just like a girl who has blossomed into youth,
The crop that once stood tall and full,
Has now turned pale and faded, like an old man's grey head!
Oh girl, what will I do? What sorrow should I cry for?
Grief is choking up in my throat right now.
Even a girl who has come of age takes time to fill out with health.
If we care for the crop and spray the medicine, Machan, it will all turn out fine!
Look at me, Mama; should you really cry over this?
Go buy the medicine, Mama, and we will spray it together!
I can't find workers to harvest, girl, and there is no threshing floor to beat and winnow!
Even if we finish quickly, I have no helper to take the yield to town!
Oh girl, what will I do? What sorrow should I cry for?
Grief is choking up in my throat right now.
You are a clever one, Machan,
And quite a shameless one too, Machan!
Oh, get away, Machan!
You are a clever man, Machan, and
Quite a shameless man too, Machan!
If you just pay the bride-price quickly,
This girl will gladly come along with you!
