In the southern land
Vaazhum Koottam
There lives a clan

Yes, a thriving clan
Uzhavaazhum Koottam
A clan that lives through farming
Ohh… Nandodum Seththukkulla
Among the fertile fields and the plough

Ohh… Yera Pooti
Let’s lift the plough

Beat the drums

Yea… Tholai Siluppi
Lift the shoulder strap
Puzhudhi Kilappa
Let the dust rise

In his proud attire

We’ve spoken his story

Our sins and sorrows

Mix them together
Pagaiya Maarunom
Let’s turn enemies into friends
Oo Pagaiya Maarunom
Yes, we’ll turn hostility into peace

In the land that seeks truth
Mathi Thedum Kelvikkulla
Among minds that question wisdom
Padhilaaga Vantha Saami
The Lord came as the answer
Thunaiyaaga Ninna Saami
And stood as our guide
Kathiraadum Cholakkulla
In the waving paddy fields
Veyilaadum Velikkulla
In the sunlit open lands
Nadhiyaaga Vandha Saami
The Lord came as the river
Pothiyaaga Poottha Saami
And showered blessings upon us
Puravazhi Paadha Veesum
The wind blows along the ancient paths
Unnudaya Kaattu Vaasam
Carrying your divine fragrance
Kambeduthu Pesum Kaathil
In the ears that hear your words through the flute
Kombeduthu Modhum Saami
The horn that sounds in your name, O Lord
Vaadaa, Kaala
Come forth, mighty one
Maadaa Neethaan…
You are the great protector
Vidhi kootthadum
When fate plays its game
Koottukkulla
Among the people
Kaalam Emmaaney
O Lord of Time
Kaalam Emmaaney
Master of ages
Kanavum Emmaaney
Lord of dreams
Kaadhal Emmaaney
Lord of love
Kaadhal Emmaaney
Yes, Lord of love
Kannneer Emmaaney
Lord who knows our tears
Yeleyleyleyloo…
Yeleyleyleyloo…
Yeleyleyleyloo…
