Pattasu suttu suttu podattuma
Mathappu selai katti aadattuma
Sithaadai chittuthaanammaa
Pattasu suttu suttu podattuma
Mathappu selai katti aadattuma
Sithaadai chittuthaanammaa
Diwalikku diwali
Ennai thechi nee kuli
En paati sonna vaithiyam
Kettu vanthen paingili hooi
Pattasu suttu suttu podattuma
Mathappu selai katti aadattuma
Sithaadai chittuthaanammaa
Indha ooru muzhukka
Saththam thaan olikka
Indha naal muzhukka
Inbam thedungha
Maami nallavangha
Dhoora sonthamungha
Kaadhu mandhamunga
Vedi podungha
Athaiyum senja mysore-pak
Suthiyal kondu thattataa
Suthiyal thattudhu
Kuppaiyil kottattaa…
Ennenna seidhaalum
Ennenna sonnalum
Vaazhkaiyae busvaanam
Doi doi
Netru enbadhu
Yettil ulladhu
Naalai enbadhu poiyada
Indru ondrae meiyadaa
Pattasu suttu suttu podattuma
Mathappu selai katti aadattuma

Pattasu suttu suttu podattuma
Mathappu selai katti aadattuma
Sithaadai chittuthaanammaa
Diwalikku diwali
Ennai thechi nee kuli
En paati sonna vaithiyam
Kettu vanthen paingili hooi
Pattasu suttu suttu podattuma
Mathappu selai katti aadattuma
Sithaadai chittuthaanammaa
Shall I light firecrackers and burst them one by one?
Shall I wear a sparkling saree and dance?
I am just a little bird in a frock, dear grandma!
Shall I light firecrackers and burst them one by one?
Shall I wear a sparkling saree and dance?
I am just a little bird in a frock, dear grandma!
Every Diwali,
rub on oil and take a bath!
That is the home remedy my grandma gave,
and I, this sweet little parrot, have come to follow it, hoy!
Shall I light firecrackers and burst them one by one?
Shall I wear a sparkling saree and dance?
I am just a little bird in a frock, dear grandma!
Across this entire town,
as loud sounds echo,
throughout this whole day,
go search for happiness!
Aunty is a good woman,
she is a distant relative,
and she is hard of hearing,
so burst the crackers freely!
That Mysore pak sweet aunty made—
shall I strike it with a hammer?
The hammer strikes it,
shall I just throw it in the trash?
Whatever we do,
whatever we say,
life is just like a flowerpot firecracker!
Doy doy!
Yesterday
is only written on a page;
tomorrow is just an illusion,
today alone is real!
Shall I light firecrackers and burst them one by one?
Shall I wear a sparkling saree and dance?
I am just a little bird in a frock, grandma... hoy!
...
Dearest loving grandma,
why should you worry anymore?
Searching for you,
your Manimegalai has arrived!
You have not celebrated
many festivals in a long time;
all through this week,
a sweet rain of joy will pour here!
Towards the neighbor's terrace,
shall I launch an Aryabhata rocket firecracker?
If they come to hit me,
shall I run and tell you?
So many bright colors,
all symbols of pure joy,
lighting up the eyes like flashes,
hoy hoy!
Just like a rainbow on earth,
the time we are given to live is so short,
and the joy in life is so brief...
Shall I light firecrackers and burst them one by one?
Shall I wear a sparkling saree and dance?
I am just a little bird in a frock, dear grandma!
Every Diwali,
rub on oil and take a bath!
That is the home remedy my grandma gave,
and I, this sweet little parrot, have come to follow it, hoy!
Shall I light firecrackers and burst them one by one?
Shall I wear a sparkling saree and dance?
I am just a little bird in a frock, dear grandma!
