When sorrow nears us, my little one, We should not get helpless, my little one, There is a very loving God, my little one, Who will remove all sorrow, my little one. We should never be afraid, my little one, Of bad ,ones who do cruel deeds, my little one, Dash and trample them, my little one, And spit at their face, my little one.

You should never tell a lie my little one, You should never tell bad about any one, my little one, God is forever for our help, little one, And so nothing bad will come to us, my little one. Study as soon as you get up, my little one, Then sing songs which make you merciful, my little one, And play all the evening my little one, Make these a practice, my little one. The horse which draws our cart, my little one, The cow which works in the rice farm, my little one, And the goat which lives depending on us, my little one, Should be all supported and cared for, my little one. That cow rains milk and gives you, my little one, That Cow is a good one, my little one, That dog wags its tail and comes, my little one, He is a good friend of man, my little one. That hen pecks and hurts, but my little one, Join with it and play my little one, That crow extends and steals, my little one, But you should have pity for it my little one. Like a little sparrow dear, You should fly and come, my little one, Seeing birds of varied colour, my little one, You should fill your mind with joy. Maha Kavi Bharathi Translated from Tamil P.R.Ramachander Run, run and play my little one, You should never sit idle ever, Play, play together with all, my little child, You should never chide another child.
