Even if the eyes forget to blink,
Even if the ears forget to hear,
Even if the mouth forgets to speak,
Even if the feet forget to walk,
Even if the body forgets to labor,
Forever towards you,
I need a heart that never forgets.
Namah Shivaya, Namah Shivaya,
Namah Shivaya!
Driving a rickshaw every single day,
We earn our living.
We, street by street,
Pedaling hard, labor away.
Living with honesty,
We spend our days.
If in police lockup,
We get trapped, we blink in despair.
Anthony Alphonse,
Sing a Gaana song,
And win applause!
Driving a rickshaw every single day,
We earn our living.
We, street by street,
Pedaling hard, labor away.
...
Look at the man, look at the man,
Look at the man pulling the rickshaw!
Look at his shoulders in a sleeveless vest,
Look at his labor day and night!
Look at his feet hardened with calluses,
Look at his skin darkened by the sun!
Look at the pearls of sweat, my friend,
In Anthony's sweat,
Look at the honesty, my friend!
Look at the hands, look at the hands,
Look at the rickshaw man's hands!
MGR tattooed on his right hand,
Look, the Superstar on his left hand!
Look, we got these tattoos inked,
Look at the working class!
Ministers are our own people, buddy,
Before Alphonse,
Nobody asks for bail, buddy!
You can trust us and send
Your sister along with us,
For we worship the Lord Almighty!
Didn't He tell us
To live with integrity?
Hoi hoi hoi!
Driving a rickshaw every single day,
We earn our living.
We, street by street,
Pedaling hard, labor away.
Living with honesty,
We spend our days.
If in police lockup,
We get trapped, we blink in despair.
...
People look for auspicious times,
They consult astrology,
If it is favorable, they believe it,
Otherwise, they wither in distress!
The blame and guilt, onto another person's
Head they dump!
This is a world of lazy folk, my friend,
To Anthony, astrology is
Just a source of confusion, buddy!
The man who was once a conductor
Becoming the Superstar,
And the actor MGR
Ruling this country here—
Was time and destiny the reason,
Or was hard work the reason?
The hardworking person will stand tall,
And at that time, the astrological calendar
He will toss aside!
We must live trusting in
Our own hands!
We must sweep away
Evil lies!
Favorable times and seasons will follow
Right behind us, hoi hoi!
Driving a rickshaw every single day,
We earn our living.
We, street by street,
Pedaling hard, labor away.
Living with honesty,
We spend our days.
If in police lockup,
We get trapped, we blink in despair.
Anthony Alphonse,
Sing a Gaana song,
And win applause!
Driving a rickshaw every single day,
We earn our living.
We, street by street,
Pedaling hard, labor away.
Driving a rickshaw every single day,
We earn our living.
We, street by street,
Pedaling hard, labor away.
