Carefully decorating
the royal elephant,
adorning it with a pottu (sacred mark) and flowers,
and bringing it along in a grand procession,
the horns will sound and the streets will shake,
the auspicious moment is drawing near, girl!
The village will shine and its name will rise,
gather together and worship with folded hands, girl!
Hey, bring the betel nut, bring the betel leaf, hoy!
Oh... bring the garland, bring the drum, hoy!
Hey Samiappa, Sangiliyappa, hoy!
Oh... start the song, pick up the saw, hoy!
The mill and the work have finally begun!
The days of suffering have all run away!
Even the poorest of the poor have found a good life!
What was sown long ago has borne fruit only now!
Hey, bring the betel nut, bring the betel leaf, hoy!
Oh... bring the garland, bring the drum, hoy!
If evil men turn into good souls like Rama,
that is a true blessing for us village folk!
Chorus: If evil men turn into good souls like Rama,
that is a true blessing for us village folk!
See, if a good person wills it, good things will happen!
If there is unity here, our village will rise to the very top!
Tell me, will any troubles ever dare cross our borders?
We are the fresh jasmine flowers blooming in the backyard field!
Leap up and dance, slap your shoulders and sing!
Hey, all the days ahead belong to us now!
That is what we have worked so hard for until now!
Chorus: Hey, all the days ahead belong to us now!
That is what we have worked so hard for until now!
Hey, bring the betel nut, bring the betel leaf, hoy!
Oh... bring the garland, bring the drum, hoy!
Hey Samiappa, Sangiliyappa, hoy!
Oh... start the song, pick up the saw, hoy!
The mill and the work have finally begun!
The days of suffering have all run away!
Hey, bring the betel nut, bring the betel leaf, hoy!
Oh... bring the garland, bring the drum, hoy!
All the sweet sugarcane fields will bloom,
and the breeze will come to dance atop their leaves!
Chorus: All the sweet sugarcane fields will bloom,
and the breeze will come to dance atop their leaves!
Look, our families will always smile happily like this!
How can there be any famine, hunger, or misery anymore?
We can find a way to turn eight-foot huts into brick houses,
and the sweat on our foreheads will tell the tale of our victory!
All the people here have pure, innocent hearts!
Hey, every single one of our dreams has come true!
All our worries have flown away from us!
Chorus: Hey, every single one of our dreams has come true!
All our worries have flown away from us!
Hey, bring the betel nut, bring the betel leaf, hoy!
Oh... bring the garland, bring the drum, hoy!
Hey Samiappa, Sangiliyappa, hoy!
Oh... start the song, pick up the saw, hoy!
The mill and the work have finally begun!
The days of suffering have all run away!
Even the poorest of the poor have found a good life!
What was sown long ago has borne fruit only now!
Hey, bring the betel nut, bring the betel leaf, hoy!
Oh... bring the garland, bring the drum, hoy!
