Chug chug chug, goods train,
passing through Kazhugumalai,
Chorus: it is the Kovilpatti train!
Chug chug chug, train driver brother,
what is the ticket price?
Chorus: What is it?
Which town is it going to?
I am coming along too!
Chorus: Stop the train for a moment!
Stop it, stop it!

Hey elephant mister,
your four legs are like pillars!
Instead of roaming free like us,
why did you surrender to the mahout?
In the dirt of the scrub forest,
Chorus: we play gilli-danda (tip-cat)!
Female: Soaking our clothes,
Chorus: we drink pond water!
Female: Taking our packed lunch,
Chorus: we roamed around the whole world!
Female: Whatever happened by the stream,
Chorus: we shouted it across the whole village!
This thorny scrub forest
is our hometown!
Dates from wild date palms
are our daily food!
The teacher who fails us is villain Nambiar,
and the watchman who rings the bell is hero MGR!

Hey green, bright green parrot sister,
where did you learn to talk?
Without even cracking a smile,
how did you agree to scold everyone so sharply?
Over the loudspeaker in the cornfield,
Chorus: a sparrow is singing!
Female: Wearing yellow chrysanthemum flowers,
Chorus: it plays the radio!
Female: Having no one to play with,
Chorus: it sits glued to the TV!
Female: On the teacher's shirt,
Chorus: it writes down the homework!
The heat of the sun on our backs
always walks along with us!
Wetting the bed with pee,
it lies on the sleeping mat!
We wake up in the afternoon,
we bathe whenever it rains,
and we only go to school for the free meal egg!
Chug chug chug
