With henna-stained lips
I recited the chant
Living life according to your heart's desire
You are indeed the great king
Rising tall like a temple tower
With abundant lines of wealth
It is written in your horoscope
There are no troubles at all, sir
Like the moon and the sun
For your name to endure forever
To utter the prophecy of Goddess Jakkamma
Did she arrive at midnight?

Is it a shining garden?
Or a swarm of butterflies?
For the boys who came looking
Feed them honey generously
பத்தமட பாய்
இப்போ பட்டு மெத்தை ஆச்சு
பத்து ரூபா நோட்டு

கட்டாந்தரை எனக்கு
இப்ப பட்டா நிலம் ஆச்சு
கெட்ட திசையாவும்
இப்ப சுக்கிர திசை ஆச்சு
The Pathamadai mat
