Hahaha...
Hoo hoo...
Oh my, here comes
the little lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
Oh my, here comes the lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
Leaping hearts cheer and praise me,
and that is enough to soothe me every day!
Dum-dum, dum-dum!
Oh my, here comes
the little lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
Oh my, here comes the lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
Shall I bring an Aarathi (auspicious flame)?
Shall I ward off the evil eye from you?
If only she wore a half-saree,
our mother is still a young girl!
Hahaha hahaha...
Her hair in front has turned grey,
but oh my, even that looks so lovely!
Her hair in front has turned grey (oh dear!),
but oh my, even that looks so lovely!
Come slowly and stand by my side;
our father has a burning, envious gaze!
If his evil eye falls on you, what trouble it will bring!
You have pearl-like teeth and sweet words;
all in all, there is no one quite like you!
Even mere stones and dust—what happens to them?
If your hands touch them, they turn to gold!
May you live long for many more years!
Oh my, here comes the lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
Oh my, here comes the lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
Am I someone who came from outside?
I am always your own grateful child!
To the whole town, I am a good boy,
and to all of you, I am always the beloved darling!
There is no deceit in my heart,
and my mind hides nothing at all.
There is no deceit in my heart,
and my mind hides nothing at all.
Straightforward and bold,
I have a heart that speaks frankly.
I have my skills in hand, so what do I lack?
I have a deity in my mother,
I have a brother and a sister,
I have the bond of a father too—
take it easy, dad!
These are bonds that will last forever,
these are the joys in my heart!
Are these tears of pure joy in my eyes?
Oh my, here comes the lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
Oh yes, here comes the lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
I will readily surrender to love,
and give myself away completely for affection.
I will always honour the truth,
and work hard so others can live well.
The conscience within me never sleeps,
and that is the only rule I believe in.
The conscience within me never sleeps,
and that is the only rule I believe in.
When I sing, I am a gentle breeze;
when I rush forward, I am the holy river Ganga!
I am also the playful child
who dances with joyful leaps!
There is no temple greater than justice,
there is no god greater than righteousness,
and there is no wealth greater than sacrifice!
In the school of time,
these are the lessons I have learned,
the sacred truths that guide my life!
Oh my, here comes the lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
Oh my, here comes the lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
Leaping hearts cheer and praise me,
and that is enough to soothe me every day!
Dum-dum, dum-dum!
Oh my, here comes the lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
Oh yes, here comes the lion cub,
crowned as the king of dance!
