Pettai Rap is one of those songs which gets awesome-er the more times we listen to it.
Today my friend gave me a link to a blogpost where Naan Autokaran was translated to english. It got me thinking. What will happen if we do the same thing to Pettai Rap. This is the result.
Rhythm of life, blue clear mountain mixed with attitude..
funky drums from hell..
saidapettai, chrompettai, ranipettai, pettai rap
pettai rap.... pettai rap
Today not 2moro what everyday that only
morning what, evening what, no changes only
lets forget, depression, lets forget
anger comes less cover and keep
ada get up and dance its a damn new chance
your hand only everything is there
dissekida... disekkida lets put mettu
first who.. first who.. first. first. first.
pettai rap... pettai rap
ammapettai.... ayyampettai
teynampettai.... coconut hide
hey money what cash what there only one life
enough god only one wife
lets open and keep our mind.. open and keep..
who is coming.. lets leave and see..
ada whatever born for you, is for you only..
what you got you keep that much only..
walking only.. walking only.. that is only truth..
sunrise see.. sunrise see..
morning morning morning morning pettairap
rent, current, courtyard
packet milk, kids
school-u, fees-u, good oil
mud oil, rava, ration
palm oil, green rice, wheat
not enough... not enough..
cash not little also enough
1.5 anna, 2 anna, breaking the hundial
4 anna 8 anna loan and all taking
vessel and all mortgage keeping
5-10 anna begging and all doing
not enough not enough...
*Chorus*
Knowledge fruit... Knowledge fruit...
You tuesdaypettai fruit... knowledge fruit...
Knowledge fruit... Knowledge fruit...
You tuesdaypettai fruit... knowledge fruit...
saidapettai.. ranipettai.. chrompettai... pettai rap
ammapettai ayyampettai.... thaenaampettai.. Coconut hide..
Hey alcohol, fish, beedi piece
bat, hut, garbage bin
nearby tea shop
rickshaw, windmill with bottle rubbed off
gilli goli lungi lets sing gaana song
Aalai Anjalai Bazar Nijaru
Kanniyappan Muniamma Giri Gaja Mani
MGR Sivaji Rajini Kamal

Pettai Rap.... Pettai Rap.... Pettai Rap.... Pettai Rap....
