Vaiyambatti

Vaiyambatti banana tree, do the thappatam dance by wearing a mask
You sang a song, the clouds rumble like your voice
Torrents of rain pour on the wide paddy fields
Jasmine flowers are blooming, blooming everywhere
The coconut palms are swaying in the breeze, the rain is falling
The jackfruit trees are laden with fruit
Take a break, go to the mountains and pluck some flowers, can I come with you?
We'll dance together in the mountains and forests, and you'll sing
The sound of your voice is like a lullaby, a mother's milk
Just this is enough to keep me alive
Even if the sun sets and it gets dark
I'll hold your hand
There's water flowing in the stream
Let's eat here together
Under the shelter of the clouds
We'll make love and have fun
The grass is sleeping, the dew is falling
The sun is rising in the east
I have happiness, but no companion
I don't see equality
Oh my homeland, you're the goddess who will fulfill my desires
You're the Western Ghats
Both humans and gods worship you
You've been there since the beginning
The birds' nests are not in the forest
Our huts are their homes
We stand tall under the trees in the rain
We forget our worries and sleep peacefully
The woman who makes tea on the roof of her house
We don't have enough firewood
The ghosts who hear our pleas come to our aid
Vaiyambatti banana tree, do the thappatam dance by wearing a mask
You sang a song, the clouds rumble like your voice
Torrents of rain pour on the wide paddy fields
Jasmine flowers are blooming, blooming everywhere
The coconut palms are swaying in the breeze, the rain is falling, it's a beautiful sight
