Spreading out a banana leaf,
Ah... spreading it out,
Filling it with roasted chickpeas,
Ah... filling it up,
Lighting the incense sticks,
Ah... lighting them up,
Breaking open a whole coconut,
Ah... breaking it open,
When this humble daughter offers her prayers,
Please accept them, Mother Earth!
Turning the seeds we sowed into grains of paddy,
You provide for us, noble goddess of our land!
Lululululululu...
Take up the plough, take up the plough,
Sing, sing, sing, sing!
With the plough in hand, to everyone,
Serve the rice, feed the world!
If you work hard, gold will grow—
This is that very land, this is that fertile earth!
Greater than this Mother Earth,
What other god is there? Which god is greater?
This little plot of land
Is the very blessing I asked for!
Never saying that it has nothing,
Without turning us away, it gives in abundance!
Take up the plough, take up the plough,
Sing, sing, sing, sing!
With the plough in hand, to everyone,
Serve the rice, feed the world!
The season has arrived for everything we sowed to sprout,
Good fortune has finally dawned upon us!
The whole town will praise the hardworking man,
If the farmers waste away, what will become of our nation?
For all the city folks
To put their hands into a plate of food,
The simple village folks, Suppan and Kuppan,
Must sink their feet into the wet mud!
If we hold the plough every single day,
If everyone comes together and toils,
Grains of rice will fill our homes,
Gleaming bright like pure gold!
Aa... aa... aa... aah... aah... aah...
The seasonal paddy crop is yearning to be harvested,
Come along, everyone, pick up your sharp sickles!
Thresh the harvest and pile it up on the threshing floor,
If there is any chaff, winnow it away in the breeze!
Pack the grain neatly into sacks and load the cart,
Sell it at the neighboring town's market and bring home the money!
Rivers of honey will dance in, rivers of milk will flow,
Come along, Rukmani, there will be no more famine!
Take up the plough, take up the plough,
Sing, sing, sing, sing!
With the plough in hand, to everyone,
Serve the rice, feed the world!
This little plot of land
Is the very blessing I asked for!
Never saying that it has nothing,
Without turning us away, it gives in abundance!
