Aala maraththula paiya vechchi
Arasa maraththula soththa vechchi
Puliya maraththula thoongi puttu
Pozhuthu saaya veedu povom
Pallikkoodam pogaamalae
Naanga paadam padikkaamalae
Passaana koottamunga
Annanukku poomaalai pottu vidunga
Meththa padichchidathaan
Medhaavi aayidaththaan
Saththiyamaa puththi illainga
Paththu varushamthaan
Kathi kathi vaaththiyaaru
Kanda palan onnum illaenga haei
Pallikkoodam pogaamalae
Naanga paadam padikkaamalae
Passaana koottamunga
Annanukku poomaalai pottu vidunga
Hae haan…
Haei saedhi ketkammaa

Unakku chennai pattanam kaattu
Naan cinimavil saerkka poraen

Odi vilaiyaadum thaaththaavoda saeththu
Oru oththai jadai pottu
Unna heroinnae maaththa poraen
Haei haei

Vayasukku meerithaan
Nenappu vanthathu

Pala peru pozhappu keduththathu
Ada ezhavi un kezhavanaa
Nee viratti pudichchi kattikkadi
Pallikkoodam pogaamalae
Naanga paadam padikkaamalae
Passaana koottamunga
Annanukku poomaalai pottu vidunga
Haei haei

Leaving our bag by the banyan tree,
Keeping our things by the peepal tree,
Taking a nap under the tamarind tree,
We head back home as the sun goes down!
Without even going to school,
Without ever studying our lessons,
We are the gang that passed!
Put a flower garland on your big brother!
To study so much,
And become a great scholar,
Honestly, we don't have the brains for it!
For ten whole years,
The teacher shouted his lungs out,
Yet he gained nothing from it, hey!
Without even going to school,
Without ever studying our lessons,
We are the gang that passed!
Put a flower garland on your big brother!
Hey haan...
Hey, listen to the news,
Grandma Sengamalam!
I'll show you Chennai city,
And get you into the movies!
Hey hey!
Pairing you with the lively grandpa,
Plaiting your hair in a single braid,
I'll turn you into a movie heroine!
Hey hey!
...
Thinking far beyond your age,
Such wild thoughts came to you!
It's thoughts like those
That ruined so many people's lives!
Hey old woman, go catch your old man,
Chase him down and marry him!
Without even going to school,
Without ever studying our lessons,
We are the gang that passed!
Put a flower garland on your big brother!
Hey hey!
...
Hey, bunking classes completely,
Reading all kinds of pulp stories,
Stuffing all of that into our heads,
We slept on the lake bank every day!
Cheating with paper bits,
We cleared our exams,
Taking a clever shortcut,
Look, we scored passing marks!
Dha tharikida thaam, well done!
Dhum thaam tharikida thaam!
Bravo, bravo, tharikida thaam!
Tharikida thaam!
Tharikida thaam!
Tharikida thaam!
Tharikida thaam!
Tharikida thaam!
School is only where we take shelter from rain!
Playing all day long is our only lesson!
Just once a year,
We drop by to see our teacher!
Without even going to school,
Without ever studying our lessons,
We are the gang that passed!
Put a flower garland on your big brother!
To study so much,
And become a great scholar,
Honestly, we don't have the brains for it!
For ten whole years,
The teacher shouted his lungs out,
Yet he gained nothing from it, hey!
Without even going to school,
Without ever studying our lessons,
We are the gang that passed!
Put a flower garland on your big brother!
Hey haan...
