The turning point when Thirupathi arrives
Will be like a spark of fire
The turning point when Thirupathi arrives
Will be like a spark of fire
Above you, above me
Look who is there, man!
The one who enabled you and me to live
Is God alone, man!
Hey!
In life, in life
There are three lessons, man!
If you learn them, if you learn them
Life is grand, man!
Hey!
Only if it burns is it fire
Only through experience comes responsibility
Hey, only if it burns is it fire
Only through experience comes responsibility
Madness in a human
Resides inside the mind
If Thirupathi arrives...
Hey!
The turning point when Thirupathi arrives
Will be like a spark of fire
………………………………………………
Day by day
Work hard and see
That alone is a festive day
The time spent sleeping
The time spent longing
Will not count in life
Hey, day by day
Work hard and see
That alone is a festive day
The time spent sleeping
The time spent longing
Will not count in life
If you have no job or work
Wearing a dhoti is of no use, man
Chorus: Hey hey
Male: Starving yourself and pinching pennies
The money saved isn't yours, man
Chorus: Hey hey hey
A life that only takes
Is a great sin, man
A life that gives
Is indeed a boon, man
If you think only of yourself
It is arrogance, man
If you think "I can do it"
It is the future, man
If prayed for, if prayed for
He will make us poor people thrive
If Thirupathi arrives...
Chorus: The turning point when Thirupathi arrives
Will be like a spark of fire
…………………………………………………..
Water for the roots
Pour it and see
Your name will be in the flowers
A bunch of plantains for the banana tree
Food for the poor
Without them, where is the respect?
Hey, water for the roots
Pour it and see
Your name will be in the flowers
A bunch of plantains for the banana tree
Food for the poor
Without them, where is the respect?
Inside a blanket
Even if you live
It is always trouble, man
Chorus: Hey hey
Male: But if you live fighting on
That will tell history, man
Chorus: Hey hey hey
Don't consider relatives and kith
As earnings, man
Only your own feet
Will become true family, man
If you live only for a name
Who are you, man?
What Thirupathi says
Is trouble, man!
If prayed for, if prayed for
He will make us poor people thrive
The turning point when Thirupathi arrives
Will be like a spark of fire
The turning point when Thirupathi arrives
Will be like a spark of fire
Above you, above me
Look who is there, man!
The one who enabled you and me to live
Is God alone, man!
In life, in life
There are three lessons, man!
If you learn them, if you learn them
