Padichu ennatha kilikka porada
Namma pozhappa nadatha padippu ethukkuda
Yaara irundha podhum
Rendu kaalaal nadakka venum
Kaalaal nadakkum yaarum
Idha poda thaanae venum
Adhuvum maranthutaa namma kitta
Nikkanum muttaapayalae
Muttapayanga padikka venamaa
Namma munnera thaan thuduikka venaama
Mazhaikku kooda neeyum
Pallikoodathil othungavillai
Padippu vaasana yedhu
Inga seruppu vaasana aachu
Paattan parambara appanoda nikkattum
Pillaikku venam
Padichu ennatha kilikka porada
Male :Haan
Male :Namma pozhappa nadatha padippu ethukkuda
Karuma veeraruu naattai aanda kaamaraasaru
Kalooriyila thaan padichu thalaivar aanaaraa
Karuma veeraruu naattai aanda kaamaraasaru
Kalooriyila thaan padichu thalaivar aanaaraa
Aringar annaa idhaya kani mgryaara nee paaru
Podhu ariva valathukittu modhal amaichar aanaaru
Annaalil thaan padikka aagathatha enni thaan
Inaalil pallikoodam yeraalama katti thaan
Sathunavum udaiyum koduthu thaan
Padikka solluraapula
Muttapayanga padikka venamaa
Namma munnera thaan thuduikka venaama
Nee padichu ennatha kilikka porada
Male :Haan
Male :Namma pozhappa nadatha padippu ethukkuda
Arasana nambi purusana kai vitta kadhaiyaa
Kaiyila irukkira tholila vittutu pogaadhae
Uyara uyara thaan melae paranthu ponaalum
Oor kuruviyum thaan periya parundhu aagaathae
Seruppu thacha tholilaali stalinnu aanaaru
Segappu kodi yethi vechu russiyava thaan aandaaru
Annaatu makkalai pol inaataiyum ennadhae
Pattaali melae vandhaa paataalikkae thaangaadhae
Seruppu thaikkira nee padikalaam
Padichaa seruppu thaippiyaaa
Padichu ennatha ….
Namma pozhappa nadatha padippu ethukkuda
Mazhaikku kooda neeyum
Pallikoodathil othungavillai
Aamaamaa
Padippu vaasana yedhu
Inga seruppu vaasana aachu
Male :Hmm

What great thing are you going to achieve by studying, boy?
Why do we need education to earn our living?
Whoever someone may be,
they need two feet to walk!
And anyone who walks on their feet
must wear slippers, right?
And if they forget that, they still must
stand before us, you foolish boy!
Shouldn't foolish folks get educated?
Shouldn't we yearn to move forward in life?
Even to take shelter from the rain,
you never stepped inside a school!
You don't have the slightest trace of learning,
only the smell of leather slippers is left here!
Let our ancestral trade end with the father!
The child shouldn't have to do it!
What great thing are you going to achieve by studying, boy?
Male: Haan!
Male: Why do we need education to earn our living?
Kamarajar, the selfless leader who ruled our land,
did he go to college to become a leader?
Kamarajar, the selfless leader who ruled our land,
did he go to college to become a leader?
Look at MGR, the apple of scholar Anna's eye!
Developing his general knowledge, he became the Chief Minister!
Thinking about how people couldn't study in those days,
today he built so many schools,
providing nutritious meals and clothes,
and urges us to study!
Shouldn't foolish folks get educated?
Shouldn't we yearn to move forward in life?
What great thing are you going to achieve by studying, boy?
Male: Haan!
Male: Why do we need education to earn our living?
Like trusting a king and leaving one's husband,
don't throw away the trade you have in hand!
No matter how high it flies in the sky,
a little sparrow can never turn into a mighty hawk!
A worker who stitched shoes became Stalin,
who hoisted the red flag and ruled over Russia!
Don't think our country is like those other lands;
if a laborer rises to the top, fellow laborers can't bear it!
As a shoemaker, you can go and study,
but if you study, will you still stitch shoes?
What great thing by studying...
Why do we need education to earn our living?
Even to take shelter from the rain,
you never stepped inside a school!
Yes, yes!
You don't have the slightest trace of learning,
only the smell of leather slippers is left here!
Male: Mmm!
Male: Let our ancestral trade end with the father!
The child shouldn't have to do it!
Shouldn't foolish folks get educated?
Male: No need, no need, go away!
Male: Shouldn't we yearn to move forward in life?
