Naa parakka
Rekkai noora molaikka
Naal mulukka
Methapaaga iruka
Thola osathi
Nenja nera nimithi

Vaazhkai puriyathae
Vaazhum nekku theriyuthae
Naan dhathi illa

As I take flight,
Sprouting a hundred wings,
All day long,
Floating in the air,
Shoulders held high,
Chest pushed out proud,
I am coming to blow everyone away,
Light up the firecrackers!
As I take flight,
Sprouting a hundred wings,
All day long,
Floating in the air,
The whole town should turn around,
Just to look at me,
And wonder in amazement!
Lighting camphor,
Every single day,
They must ward off the evil eye!
The path opens wide,
The light bulb turns on by itself,
I understand life now,
I know the knack of living!
I am no clumsy fool,
I am swagger's own adopted child!
As I take flight,
Sprouting a hundred wings,
All day long,
Floating in the air,
Shoulders held high,
Chest pushed out proud,
I am coming to blow everyone away,
Light up the firecrackers!
