The heart yearns on this day of joy...
People sleep through this night...
Good character endures in this dizzying life...
Longing every day for the song it sings...
The heart yearns...
People sleep...
Character endures...
Longing every day...
Haha... every day...
Every day, there is a crowd,
peacocks dancing about,
and flowers nodding along.
Nights are staged like a grand show,
dreams grow,
poems blossom.
This is our garden!
Hey, hey, dreams grow,
poems blossom,
this is our garden!
This is our garden... garden!

I have seen ridges made in gardens,
I have seen it, yes, I have seen it!
I have seen ridges made in gardens,
I have seen it, yes, I have seen it!
This city that takes away half your wealth,
oh this city, this city!
If you aren't firm and cautious,
your heart will surely be ruined!
I have seen ridges made in gardens,
I have seen it, yes, I have seen it!
I have seen ridges made in gardens,
I have seen it, yes, I have seen it!

A fancy place is this town,
Chennai is its name!
Flowing right around the town,
is the Cooum river!
Even if you touch it, your hands smell sweet,
wherever it touches smells like flowers!
If you just utter the name Cooum,
even the speaker's mouth smells sweet!
I have seen ridges made in gardens,
I have seen it, yes, I have seen it!
I have seen ridges made in gardens,
I have seen it, yes, I have seen it!
This city that takes away half your wealth,
oh this city, this city!
If you aren't firm and cautious,
your heart will surely be ruined!
I have seen ridges made in gardens,
I have seen it, yes, I have seen it!
I have seen ridges made in gardens,
I have seen it, yes, I have seen it!

A young girl named Meena,
went off to college,
and from what she learned in college,
she ended up pregnant!
Political parties bought land here
and put up grand buildings,
but for the poor who struggle,
there is only the bare hard ground!
Wedding halls have been built
and stand waiting,
but with no money in hand,
the unmarried girl only grows old!
Shall I tell you more of the story?
Shall I scoop more trash into the basket?
Shall I tell you more of the story?
Shall I scoop more trash into the basket?
Saying one thing and doing another,
this city has burnt our fingers, brother!
I have seen ridges made in gardens,
I have seen it, yes, I have seen it!
I have seen ridges made in gardens,
I have seen it, yes, I have seen it!
This city that takes away half your wealth,
oh this city, this city!
If you aren't firm and cautious,
your heart will surely be ruined!
