ஆசை ஆசை ஆசை
அவ்வளவு ஆசை
அம்புலி மாமா கதைய கேட்க
ரொம்ப நாளா ஆசை
Desire, desire, desire
So much desire
To listen to moon uncle's stories
A long-cherished desire
அய்யனாரு மீசை போல
வரைஞ்சு பாக்க ஆசை
அரசனாக குதிரை மேல
ஏறி போக ஆசை
Like the mustache of Ayyanar deity
Desire to draw and see
As a king upon a horse
Desire to ride away
அல்லி பூவா மாற ஆசை
அந்த வானம் ஏறி பார்க்க ஆசை
கண்ணாமூச்சி ஆட ஆசை
பட்டாம்பூச்சி வண்ணம் பூச ஆசை
Desire to turn into a lily flower
Desire to climb up that sky and look
Desire to play hide and seek
Desire to paint butterfly colors
ஹான்....
பள்ளிக்கூடம் தினமும் போவோம்
பாடம் எல்லாம் படித்திருவோம்
துள்ளிவோடும் புள்ளிமானா
ஆட்டம்போட்டு குதிப்போம்
நடைவண்டியில ஊற சுத்துவோம்
களத்து மேட்டுல கூத்து கட்டுவோம்
வேப்ப மரம் ஏறி நாங்க பேய ஓட்டுவோம்
ஹேய்ய்ய்....
Haan...
We will go to school every day
We will study all our lessons
Like a prancing spotted deer
We will dance and jump around
We will roam around the village in a toddler walker
We will stage folk plays on the threshing floor
We will climb neem trees and drive ghosts away
Haeiiii
சிக்கு புக்கு ரயிலு வண்டி
சிக்னல் இல்ல மெயிலு வண்டி
பெயிலே ஆகாது மயிலு வண்டி...ஹே
கடக்கு மடக்கு கட்ட வண்டி
சிக்னல் இல்லா மாட்டு வண்டி
எடக்கு மடக்கு இல்லா வண்டி எங்க வண்டி
ஏறிக்கலாம் எல்லாம் வாங்க
நம்ம ஊற சுத்தி பாக்கலாம் வாங்க ....ஹே....
Chug-chug train cart
A mail vehicle without signals
A peacock vehicle that never fails..hey
Clattering wooden bullock cart
A bullock cart without signals
Our cart is a cart without any trouble
Everyone come, let us get on
Come, let us go around and see our village ...hey
அல்லி குளத்தில துள்ளி குதிப்போம்
கெண்ட மீனுக்கூட காத்து கெடப்போம்
மைனரு வீட்டு தோட்டத்துலதான்
திருட்டு மாங்கா பறிப்போம்
ஞாயிற்று கிழமை ஒன்னு சேருவோம்
கூட்டஞ்சோறு கிண்டி பங்கு போடுவோம்
ஆலம்விழுதுல ஊஞ்சல் ஆடுவோம்
அத்திபால் எடுத்து பச்சை குத்துவோம்
We will leap and splash into the lily pond
We will lie down waiting like fish in the breeze
In the wealthy landlord's backyard garden
We will pluck stolen mangoes
We will gather together on Sunday
We will cook potluck rice and share it
We will swing on banyan tree roots
We will extract fig tree sap and get green tattoos
பப்பாளி தண்டெடுத்து
நாதஸ்வரம் நாங்க ஊத
கொட்டாங்குச்சி மேளத்ததான்
கொட்டி ரசிப்போம்
அப்பாவின் சட்டையில அஞ்சு பத்து எடுத்து
அண்ணாச்சி கடைய நோக்கி ஓட்டம் எடுப்போம்
Taking a papaya stem
As we blow it like a nadaswaram instrument
On drums made of coconut shells
We will beat and enjoy
Taking 5 or 10 rupees from father's shirt
We will run towards the local shop
அல்லி பூவா மாற ஆசை
அந்த வானம் ஏறி பார்க்க ஆசை
கண்ணாமூச்சி ஆட ஆசை
பட்டாம்பூச்சி வண்ணம் பூச ஆசை
Desire to turn into a lily flower
Desire to climb up that sky and look
Desire to play hide and seek
Desire to paint butterfly colors
Aasa aasa aasa
Desire, desire, desire
Avvalavu aasa
So much desire
Ambuli maama kadhaiya ketkka
To listen to moon uncle's stories
Romba naala aasa
A long-cherished desire
Aiyannaru meesa pola
Like the mustache of Ayyanar deity
Varanju paakka aasa
Desire to draw and see
Arasanaaga kudhirai mela
As a king upon a horse
Yeri poga aasa
Desire to ride away
Allipoova maara aasa
Desire to turn into a lily flower
Andha vaanam yeri paarkka aasa
Desire to climb up that sky and look
Kannamoochi aada aasa
Desire to play hide and seek
Pattamboochi vannam posa aasa
Desire to paint butterfly colors
Haan…
