Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
With his pebble-smooth eyes,
He flicks and pulls you in!
Just like the magical Lord Krishna,
He steals your heart away!
Like an innocent little child,
He talks and laughs!
Ah, what more can I say?
He is our town's Sundarapandian!
A heart ready to celebrate,
An age full of play,
No dam can hold it back!
Quickly, every single day,
Let us be born anew,
Every day is a festival!
Without courage in your heart,
You won't have an appetite for life!
Without some mischief and fun,
Youth has no flavor—listen to what I say!
With his pebble-smooth eyes,
He flicks and pulls you in!
Just like the magical Lord Krishna,
He steals your heart away!
Like an innocent little child,
He talks and laughs!
Ah, what more can I say?
He is our town's Sundarapandian!
A heart ready to celebrate,
An age full of play,
No dam can hold it back!
Quickly, every single day,
Let us be born anew,
Every day is a festival!
You only live once,
So live it with a sharp edge!
Otherwise, life will waste away
Like water soaking into barren soil!
Make what you dream a reality,
Enjoy whatever unfolds,
Experience both sorrow and joy to the fullest!
When you lose your way
And drift off course,
You will end up just like a leaf
Tossed upon a rushing river, look!
In a life full of bumps and pits,
Stubborn knots will be tied;
Find a way to untie them
And reach the shore safely!
Even if you live
Without rigid limits,
You must never cross the line of decency!
All your money and wealth,
If lost, can still return;
But once your good name is gone, it never comes back!
With his pebble-smooth eyes,
He flicks and pulls you in!
Just like the magical Lord Krishna,
He steals your heart away!
Like an innocent little child,
He talks and laughs!
Ah, what more can I say?
He is our town's Sundarapandian!
Our Pandi is truly a lion,
Just try taking him on one-on-one!
When it comes to love, he is pure gold,
Spend some time with him and see!
He is the grandson of a whirlwind!
It won't appear all at once,
The path you are searching for!
Only the person who forgets to work hard
Is truly poor in this world!
We can live full of cheer,
We can leave behind physical fights,
We can live life with lively energy!
It cannot be borrowed as a loan,
The time that has already passed by!
It won't stay just because you say stay,
No material thing ever will!
The stories grandmother told,
This generation has forgotten them,
Look how it lives, forgetting its very taproot!
If you stand far away, nothing
Will stretch out and reach you!
If you just wander about talking useless logic,
Nothing here will ever change!
With his pebble-smooth eyes,
He flicks and pulls you in!
Just like the magical Lord Krishna,
He steals your heart away!
Like an innocent little child,
He talks and laughs!
Ah, what more can I say?
He is our town's Sundarapandian!
