The Dravidian land where elephants thresh the harvested grain,
To worship the Sun God,
Is the day of placing the pot, cooking Pongal, and offering it,
As the milk boils over!
At every doorstep here, a flower is placed,
A fragrant, colourful pumpkin blossom!
At every doorstep here, a flower is placed,
A fragrant, colourful pumpkin blossom!
Chorus: This is a beautiful lotus flower praised by the world!
The Dravidian land where elephants thresh the harvested grain,
To worship the Sun God,
Is the day of placing the pot, cooking Pongal, and offering it,
As the milk boils over!
(Music)
Block jaggery and raw rice,
Clusters of fresh turmeric and ginger,
Along with red sugarcane, auspiciousness thrives!
We are the generation of Tamils!
As taught by Valluvar,
Domestic life and noble virtue,
In the homes of the Southerners who guard them like their eyes,
Joy grows like the waxing moon!
United since ancient times,
Touching the swelling heart,
Doesn't the gentle breeze come and sing?
Like a sweet young shoot and a jasmine bud,
Hopping along to the rhythm,
Doesn't it come to the gathering and dance?
The Dravidian land where elephants thresh the harvested grain,
To worship the Sun God,
Is the day of placing the pot, cooking Pongal, and offering it,
As the milk boils over!
At every doorstep here, a flower is placed,
A fragrant, colourful pumpkin blossom!
Chorus: This is a beautiful lotus flower praised by the world!
The Dravidian land where elephants thresh the harvested grain,
To worship the Sun God,
Is the day of placing the pot, cooking Pongal, and offering it,
As the milk boils over!
(Music)
The soil is here to give us food,
The sky is here to give us water,
Sweat on the forehead turns into grains of paddy,
All through the hard labor of farmers!
Planting saplings in the mud,
As even the fresh plants bloom forth,
Forests and mounds turned into fertile fields,
As the plows tilled the land!
Whether wetland or dryland,
Whatever was planted sparkles and shines,
Poverty has vanished away!
As we scoop up and eat to our fill,
O moist soil that fed us food,
You have become the mother who gave birth to us!
The Dravidian land where elephants thresh the harvested grain,
To worship the Sun God,
Is the day of placing the pot, cooking Pongal, and offering it,
As the milk boils over!
At every doorstep here, a flower is placed,
A fragrant, colourful pumpkin blossom!
Chorus: This is a beautiful lotus flower praised by the world!
