Hey... hey-le, hey Mariappa!
Come on, pick up your plough!
The one who holds the plough stands above everyone else!
Hey, my Kaaliyamma, shall we sow the seeds?
Shall we toil to put food on everyone's plate?
During the sowing season,
Do not wander about in vain!
When the harvest finally arrives,
Do not shout demanding a share!
Hey jobless Veeriah, come over here!
Why all this idle talk? Go mind your business and do your work!
Hey, why be like this? Come here, step right up!
The earth has cooled down
Chorus: Just like our hearts
Male: The heart has cooled down

Chorus: Just one task!
The work of our hands will bear fruit by His grace

Look, among the fine crops,
Weeds have sprung up!
Before a word is spoken,
Pluck them out and cast them away!
Weeding the field is easy enough,
Who will weed out the evils of this nation? Talk about that!
Only hard work will bring forth
A single season's harvest,
Yet for some people,
The fruits disappear without a word!
Hey, why be like this? Come here, step right up!
The earth has cooled down
Chorus: Just like our hearts
Male: The heart has cooled down
Chorus: Just like the soil
For the Creator,
Chorus: Countless tasks!
Male: For the working man,
Chorus: Just one task!
The work of our hands will bear fruit by His grace
