Smiling like milk, bouncing like cotton wool,
Look brother, it is a waterfall!
Male: If the nation has water wealth like this,
The cost of living will never rise!

There are ten types of snacks here,
Male: Wow, this appalam is so huge!
Female: Looking at it frightens me!
Male: Just chant 'Rama Jayam' (Victory to Rama)!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This playful and upbeat song from the 1986 film 'Maruthi' features Hanuman (referred to as Ramasamy's messenger) showcasing various sights and modern marvels to a young companion. Blending devotional mythology with urban discovery, Hanuman carries the child on his shoulders while pointing out landmarks like the LIC building, traditional Thanjavur drums, giant wheels, and lush waterfalls. Through witty commentary and cheerful banter, the song highlights themes of friendship, humility, and the protective bond Hanuman offers while humorously reflecting on modern life and economic stability.
