Kondattam Lyrics Translation – Kurangu Pedal Soundtrack
Bramma contrasts traditional schooling with outdoor adventures. Children reject formal education: ‘The entire earth is our school.’ They declare independence with ‘From now on, we don’t need the school.’
KondaattamIt’s a celebration.
Vitta Leave-u Vachu Vachu Thinga PoromWe’ve got holidays now, and we’re going to savor every bit of them.

Kummaalam Katti Kanavu KuthiraiWe’ll frolic around and saddle up our horses of dreams,
Yaeri Poga PoromWe’re riding away on an adventure.
Oiyyaara Kazhutha Metta Pazhaiya Paakki KoottamThe old crowd trudges along like stylish donkeys carrying burdens.
Ooyaatha Bhoomi Moththam Namma PallikkoodamThe entire restless earth is our classroom now.

Megaththa Kuchi Vachchu MeipomaaShall we use a stick to herd the drifting clouds?
Aagaasa Neelam Allai ThaeippomaaShall we scoop up the sky’s blue and smear it on ourselves?
Puliya Maraththa Mutti PottuththaanWe’ll make the tamarind tree kneel down before us,
Puratti Pookka Solli KetpomaaAnd we’ll command it to bloom right now.
Kuttikkaranam Podum Vaan PattamThe kite in the sky performs a somersault.
Kokki Thirivomae Konja Vara PogumWe wander like hooks, searching for whatever joy comes next.
Neer Koththi Thavalainga Sappaaththi MullakkaaWater birds, frogs, and the prickly pear cactus.
Meen Koththi Kunjakkaa Maanaa MayilakkaaKingfisher chicks, deer, and our sister peacock.
Vayalil Kaththum Paravaigal Ellaam Vaazhakkai KoottamThe birds screeching in the fields are our living community.
Mudiyaatha Vetta Veli Vaanam PallikkoodamThe endless open sky is our only school.

Aavikkum Perikkum Mark PoduvomWe’ll grade the ghosts and spirits on their performance.
Oorae Velicham Thennang KeeththukkuThe coconut fronds bring light to the whole town.
Paen Paaththu Alli Katti SeevuvomWe’ll check for lice, tie up our hair, and groom each other.
Nochchu Thinpom Nungu Kadai VaippomWe’ll munch on snacks and set up a stall selling ice apples.
Yaeri Karaiyoram Ulavam Panju EduppomWe’ll gather soft silk cotton by the lake’s edge.
Theeppetti Pon Senju Oor Niyaayam PesikkuvomWe’ll pretend matchboxes are gold and settle the village disputes.
Vengaayam Thol Urichchu Karaikaal VaasippomWe’ll peel onion skins and read them like the daily news.
Ellaam Irukku Thaniyaa Edhukku Vaaththi KoottamWe have everything here, so why do we need a crowd of teachers?
Inimae Vittu Thallu Vendaam PallikoodamForget it from now on, we don’t need that school.
