Lord Rama's messenger is my name, my name!
Little king, climb on my shoulders and take a look!
Oh look, a train! The Vaigai Express! Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo!
Lord Rama's messenger is my name, my name!
Little king, climb on my shoulders and take a look!
Oh look, a train! The Vaigai Express! Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo!
Reaching up to the clouds floating in the sky,
this is the LIC building!
Male: Searching for Sita, across so many stories,
I am the one who leapt and flew!
Your greatness, your marvelous skill!
Male: Oh boy, it is all Lord Rama's glory!
Female: Brother, you are so humble!
Male: That is what makes us truly noble!
Lord Rama's messenger is my name, my name!
Look at the Thanjavur thavil drum, look, look!
This is the drum, beating out the rhythm: dum-dum-dum-dum-dum!
Looking at it, I feel so scared,
because of this giant Ferris wheel!
Male: Hey kid, what do you have to worry about?
I am right here by your side!
We will spin around and have a blast!
Male: One by one, we will see and enjoy it all!
Female: Wow, a golden chariot!
Male: Its beauty is truly one of a kind!
Lord Rama's messenger is my name, my name!
Who is a friend like you around here?
Here is sweet ice cream for you, cool and chilling!
Male: Aha, aha, ahaha!
Laughing white as milk, bouncing soft as cotton,
brother, look at the waterfall!
Male: If our land had water wealth like this,
the cost of living would never rise!
There are treats of ten different kinds!
Male: Oh boy, this appalam is so huge!
Female: Just looking at it scares me!
Male: Just chant, 'Victory to Lord Rama!'
Lord Rama's messenger is my name, my name!
Female: Who is a friend like you around here?
Both: We will stay together and laugh like this!
Haha aaha... haha aaha...
Haha aaha... haha aaha...
