Uloo... uloo...
For seven generations,
Our guardian deity stands as our strength,
We have brought with us a great blessing!
The seven musical notes
Always walk beside us!
Our homeland is Pannaipuram!
Where the Mullai River, for the very first time,
Kisses the earth—
If you cross the borders and arrive,
That is where our father was born!
For seven generations,
Our guardian deity stands as our strength,
We have brought with us a great blessing!
...
Mariamman of Veerapandi,
Kaliamman who is present everywhere,
And the mother goddesses
Have blessed us with auspicious fortune!
Grandmother Chinna Thaayi gave birth to
The affectionate poet-singer Pavalar,
And the vast treasures he showered on us—
Songs keep overflowing from it all!
Leaving the rustic village behind,
And settling down in the city,
He crafted timeless melodies—
Leaving an entire fortune of music for us!
What more can we say of our roots?
For love and noble character,
How can there ever be a limit?
From back then until this day,
What shortage do we have?
To the people, for all time,
We offer our heartfelt gratitude!
For seven generations,
Our guardian deity stands as our strength,
We have brought with us a great blessing!
The seven musical notes
Always walk beside us!
Our homeland is Pannaipuram!
Scoop the paddy into the mortar,
Pound it hard, pound it down, girls!
Keeping an eye out for my sweetheart's arrival,
Hold it tight and pound away, girls!
Watching the grace and beauty
With which we pound the paddy,
Look, my sweetheart is walking right toward us, girls!
Seeing my sweetheart coming straight to me,
Look how my heart leaps with excitement, girls!
Uloo... uloo...
Along the slopes of the Western Ghats,
All the clouds that drifted by
Created the sound of music
That can always be heard!
Taking saplings and planting the fields,
The melodies our folk used to sing—
When heard ringing across the village,
They fill the spirit with pure joy!
We possess our father's wisdom,
And our mother's warm embrace;
Truly and surely,
That is our very foundation!
There is our mother's love,
And it brings
Joy to each and every one of you!
Just like the paddy harvested in the fields
Makes its way to the city
To satisfy everyone's hunger,
Look, that is our life's story too!
For seven generations,
Our guardian deity stands as our strength,
We have brought with us a great blessing!
The seven musical notes
Always walk beside us!
Our homeland is Pannaipuram!
Where the Mullai River, for the very first time,
Kisses the earth—
If you cross the borders and arrive,
That is where our father was born!
For seven generations,
Our guardian deity stands as our strength,
We have brought with us a great blessing!
The seven musical notes
Always walk beside us!
Our homeland is Pannaipuram!
