Nenjoram kanneera ninaippellam venneera

With tears beside the heart, is every memory scalding like hot water?
Our heart has shattered like glass, where are you?
Casting nets over marital bonds, putting a price tag on kinship,
The weeds have grown up to our necks and are choking us, dear brother!
Come to reap what was sown!
Come to give us our harvest!
All the sharp shoots that pricked and troubled us,
Come with the courage to burn them all down... ha!
Karasami, our clan deity! Karasami, our guardian god!
The harvest has drawn near, descend upon us, Karasami!
Rise up to bring this game to an end, oh clan deity!
To scatter the scheming gang and leave them trembling in fear,
To avenge the ones who came to dig our graves and send them running,
Hey, the harvest has drawn near, descend upon us, Karasami!
Rise up to bring this game to an end, oh clan deity!
Hey, I willingly took on this feud, and vowed to offer a holy feast!
There is no need for fists and blows when I return the pain right back!
Hey, the harvest has drawn near, descend upon us, Karasami!
Rise up to bring this game to an end, oh clan deity!
Hey, I willingly took on this feud, and vowed to offer a holy feast!
There is no need for fists and blows when I return the pain right back!
Male: Come, my Karasami!
The clan deity who wipes away all our stains!
Come, my Karasami!
The clan deity who has come to guide us safely to the shore!
Male: Come, my Karasami!
The clan deity who wipes away all our stains!
Come, my Karasami!
The clan deity who wipes away all our stains!
Male: Hey, your sense of justice is yours, and my justice is mine!
In this fleeting life we live, why keep a tally of death?
If someone only snatches money, it just feels like theft,
But if they offer a dream and rip it away, the pain tears the soul apart!
Male: When you are chased and beaten without mercy, there is nowhere to run and hide,
Yet when you turn around and glare back, no one has the guts to come near!
A crowd that inflicts pain and blocks your path is nothing new,
When the final scores are settled, all worry in the heart will fade away!
Male: Come, my Karasami!
The clan deity who wipes away every sorrow!
Come, my Karasami!
The clan deity who has come to guide us safely to the shore!
Male: Come, my Karasami!
The clan deity who wipes away all our stains!
Come, my Karasami!
The clan deity who wipes away all our stains!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This high-energy folk song is an intense invocation to the guardian clan deity, Karasami, calling for divine intervention, justice, and retribution against oppressors who have betrayed trust and exploited the vulnerable. Using extended agricultural metaphors—such as sowing, weeds, and harvest—the lyrics frame revenge and the restoration of honor as an inevitable, sacred reaping of one's actions. The narrative shifts from deep grief and betrayal to fierce defiance. It underscores that while material loss is painful, stealing a person's dreams and dignity inflicts life-shattering trauma. Refusing to run away any longer, the speaker stands firm, invoking the deity to help settle accounts, dispel suffering, and guide the victimized community toward justice and peace.
