Here it comes, here it comes!
Porridge is coming, porridge is coming!
Oh my goodness!
Here it comes, here it comes!
Porridge is coming!
Carrying the pot of porridge on her head,
The lovely girl is coming!
Ai... Aa Aai...
Ai ai aisalakka
Ai ai agaripacha
Here it comes, here it comes!
Porridge is coming!
Carrying the pot of porridge on her head,
The lovely girl is coming!
Here it comes, here it comes!
Porridge is coming!
Carrying the pot of porridge on her head,
The lovely girl is coming!
If she is adorned with jewellery,
She is Swarna Lakshmi (goddess of gold)!
If she generously blesses us
With rich wetlands and drylands,
She is Dhanya Lakshmi (goddess of grain)!
Dhanda thandada
Dhanda thandada thanda

If she is adorned with jewellery,
She is Swarna Lakshmi (goddess of gold)!
If she generously blesses us
With rich wetlands and drylands,
She is Dhanya Lakshmi (goddess of grain)!
If she stands bold to protect our honour,
She is Veera Lakshmi (goddess of courage)!
If she stands bold to protect our honour,
She is Veera Lakshmi (goddess of courage)!
If she sets her mind to anything and wins,
She is Vijaya Lakshmi (goddess of victory)!
Look at all the different Lakshmis, friends!
Tell me, which Lakshmi is she?
Look at all the different Lakshmis, friends!
Tell me, which Lakshmi is she?
The one who provides food to every one of us,
She is Anna Lakshmi (goddess of food), my friends!
Yes, she is Anna Lakshmi (goddess of food)!
Here it comes, here it comes!
Porridge is coming!
Carrying the pot of porridge on her head,
The lovely girl is coming!
Ai... Aa Aai...
Ai ai aisalakka
Ai ai agaripacha
The chiming sound of her heavy anklets
Arrives out in front,
While her legs, smooth as plantain stems,
Follow behind!
Dhanda thandada
Dhanda thandada thanda

When I look at her, the dizziness of hunger
Comes over me on its own!
When I look at her, the dizziness of hunger
Comes over me on its own!
When I hear her speak, that dizzy spell
Fades away on its own!
She smiles bright like fresh white rice,
She smells tempting like fish curry,
If you whisper any secret to her,
She boils over like hot rasam soup!
Aha, she boils over like hot rasam soup!
Here it comes, here it comes!
Porridge is coming!
Carrying the pot of porridge on her head,
The lovely girl is coming!
In Ghulam Qadir's pulao,
There is meat simmering,
And into Hanumantha Rao's... ah...
Into Hanumantha Rao's aviyal stew, it gets mixed!
In Mary Amma's lunch carrier, there are prawns,
In Mary Amma's lunch carrier, there are prawns,
And into Padmanabha Iyer's
Curry, they get mixed!
All the foods are blending together,
And that nurtures equality among us!
All divisions of caste and religion
Fly away at the sight of food!
Aha, they fly away at the sight of food!
Here it comes, here it comes!
Porridge is coming!
Carrying the pot of porridge on her head,
The lovely girl is coming!
Ai... Aa Aai...
