I'm going to explore all of Madras!
I'm going to build a house on the Marina!
I'm going to climb up and stand on the Lighthouse,
I'm coming like an ever-shining queen!
I'm going to explore all of Madras!
I'm going to build a house on the Marina!
I'm going to climb up and stand on the Lighthouse,
I'm coming like an ever-shining queen!
I'm going to put a fence around Madras,
and buy you sundal (spiced chickpea snack) at the Marina!
Look, isn't this the Ripon Building?
I'll tell them to name it after your dad!
Kodambakkam is crazy about cinema!
Meenambakkam is where aeroplanes land!
Foreign goods at Burma Bazaar,
and our local goods at Zam Bazaar...
Hey... ehhh... ehhh... eh-hey...
Hey girl, oh hey girl...
What kind of eye is it if it hasn't seen this?
Hey girl, oh hey girl...
Take me along with you, my dear!
The hero of Madras...
Male: That's Metro Water!
Female: But if you want style now...
Male: Drink mineral water!
The anthem of Madras...
Male: That's just the roar of auto-rickshaws!
Male: The know-it-all asked for...
a photo right in his hand!
I'm going to explore all of Madras!
I'm going to build a house on the Marina!
I'm going to climb up and stand on the Lighthouse,
I'm coming like an ever-shining queen!
Hey triyona triyo triyo
dunnunana nana
Hey girl, oh girl...
Come have some breakfast, my dear!
I'll take you out to the movies,
or some useless rascal will snatch you away...
Aahaan... eyheen...
Times have turned bad, fortunate girl!
Your charming face pulls everyone right in!
An elder is telling you this, think about it!
I've been a Madrasi for three generations!
The white man's Fort...
Female: That's old Madras!
Male: Raniamma's neighbourhood...
Female: That's new Madras!
Even by slipping into a one-way street,
Female: we can tour all of Madras!
Male: Central and Egmore railway stations...
Male: you can fence them in and make money!
Mad about movies? That's Madras!
Mad about love? That's Madras!
No work here and pockets are empty,
yet life is full of fun and joy!
I'm going to explore all of Madras!
I'm going to build a house on the Marina!
I'm going to climb up and stand on the Lighthouse,
I'm coming like an ever-shining queen!
I'm going to climb up and stand on the Lighthouse,
I'm coming like the queen of Madras!
