In all the world...
Male: Govinda...
Male: A fine country...
Male: Govinda...
Male: It is Bharath (India)...
Male: Govinda...
Male: Our country...
Male: Govinda...
Put on a disguise and you will find success,
Look at us and you will feel devotion!
In all the world...
Male: Govinda...
Male: A fine country...
Male: Govinda...
Male: It is Bharath...
Male: Govinda...
Male: Our country...
Male: Govinda...
If you smear turmeric on a roadside milestone,
people will call it a god!
Did I make this up about these people?
A great leader (Periyar) said it!
Look, the holy man clad in saffron robes
arrives riding in a car!
Just the sight of him is enough,
even a government minister falls at his feet!
There is no place for good people today,
my wise darling,
Male: Put a holy mark on your forehead and you can get by,
my wise darling,
Male: Once you turn into an ascetic godman,
all your troubles come to an end!
In all the world...
Male: Govinda...
Male: A fine country...
Male: Govinda...
Male: It is Bharath...
Male: Govinda...
Male: Our country...
Male: Govinda...
Put on a disguise and you will find success,
Look at us and you will feel devotion!
In all the world...
Male: Govinda...
Male: A fine country...
Male: Govinda...
Male: It is Bharath...
Male: Govinda...
Male: Our country...
Male: Govinda...
For the little children living in huts,
life slips away in hunger,
Yet for the stone idol in the temple,
they pour holy baths of milk!
"God is found in the smile of the poor,"
so said Anna (C. N. Annadurai)!
Nobody listened to his words,
and so he went away to rest forever!
This is the way our nation goes,
oh my wise darling!
Male: What is the use of you and me speaking up,
my wise darling?
Male: The path that everyone else takes,
if we follow it too, isn't that only fair?
In all the world...
Male: Govinda...
Male: A fine country...
Male: Govinda...
Male: It is Bharath...
Male: Govinda...
Male: Our country...
Male: Govinda...
Put on a disguise and you will find success,
Look at us and you will feel devotion!
