Playing with the scorching sun,
Befriending the scorching sun,
[Whistling]
Wrestling with the scorching sun,
We ran wild and danced!
Where crabs crawl and foxes roam,
By the edge of the thorny acacia woods,
Chasing after dragonflies,
We spun around in circles!
When hungry, sparrow eggs were our food,
For water, the village pond,
We would snap and chew juicy corn stalks,
And the dust on our bodies was our only shirt!
The dust was our only shirt... ha!
Playing with the scorching sun,
Befriending the scorching sun,
Wrestling with the scorching sun,
We ran wild and danced!
...
When hit by neem seeds in our games,
We proudly showed off the bleeding cuts!
Lining up wooden matchsticks,
We learned our math lessons!
In the dry riverbed with no water,
We played gilli-danda (tip-cat game)!
Placing coins on the railway tracks,
We let them get flattened and lost!
Buying old film strips for five paise,
We projected movies onto our father's veshti
Using a simple glass magnifying lens!
At the corner tea stall,
For hot parottas sizzling in oil,
We spent away half of our fortunes!
All day across the barren wasteland,
We ran around without a care!
Except for this blazing sun,
What else did we ever know in life?
Playing with the scorching sun,
Befriending the scorching sun,
Wrestling with the scorching sun,
We ran wild and danced!
...
Hunting down the bright moon,
We locked it up inside our house!
Catching a shiny jewel beetle,
We kept it captive inside a coconut shell!
Rubbing a magnet through the sand,
We made the iron dust dance like a ghost!
Just to watch the late-night dance show,
We stuck on fake mustaches!
Exchanging wild thorn-apple flowers,
We playfully wed each other!
Riding in procession on a donkey's back,
We roamed all around the village!
The clouds over our village
Would bring rain only once in a while;
And right when the lightning flashed,
We pretended to take a photograph!
Just like an umbilical cord,
We felt deeply connected to this land!
Except for this blazing sun,
What else did we ever know in life?
Playing with the scorching sun,
Befriending the scorching sun,
Wrestling with the scorching sun,
We ran wild and danced!
Where crabs crawl and foxes roam,
By the edge of the thorny acacia woods,
Chasing after dragonflies,
We spun around in circles!
When hungry, sparrow eggs were our food,
For water, the village pond,
We would snap and chew juicy corn stalks,
And the dust on our bodies was our only shirt!
The dust was our only shirt... ha!
Playing with the scorching sun,
Befriending the scorching sun,
Wrestling with the scorching sun,
We ran wild and danced!
