Alli podu sottrai mun paanaiyile,
Pongi varum paar siru velaiyile.
Suvai migundha karumbai kadippom,
Kadhiravanukku kaanikkai koduppom.
Unnadhamaai uzhaikkum uzhavanai potrungal,
Thamizhar thirunaal idhu endru koorungal!
Thai pirandhaal vazhi pirakkum paarungal,
Pongalo pongal endru koori magizhungal!
Iniya Pongal Nalvaazhtthukkal!
Add fists of rice into the earthen pot,
And watch it overflow soon as it gets hot.
Let us bite into the delicious sugarcane,
And pay tributes to the mighty Sun again.
Praise the farmer that works so hard,
'Tis the day of all Tamils, no holds barred!
For the hopeful month of thai is here,
Wish a Happy Pongal and spread the cheer!
Happy Pongal! :)
