Lyrics:
Papa koi moilaka bacha, Doctor, engineer hobo
(Daddy says my son will become a doctor or an engineer)
Kohima te coaching puthai, pocket money bhi puthai
(He sends me to Kohima, Nagaland’s Capital for matric coaching)
Aru sabe girlfriend kakwa, kiman khai lebe narukhe
(And see...my girlfriend eats like a gourmand & never stops eating)
Moi hoishe ekdum patla, matric fail hoishe charpar
(I have become so thin; I have failed matric four times)

Only 4 times...
Peshipar nahoi hoh
(Not many times)
Fail hoi dakhakhan
(Who keeps failing in exams)
English te koi
(It says in English)
Failure is a failure of life
Enika nahoi te
(It’s not like that)

Exams debole moi jaishe
(I went to appear exam)
Bachakhan sob confused hoishe
(All the students were confused)
Taikhan sob kharakorekena koishe
(They all stood up and said)
Good morning Sir....
Moi chup chap jaikena puhishe
(I went and sat quietly)
Bacha khan sob hashikena moreshe
(The students died laughing)
Moi sorom para khara kore koishe
(I stood up ashamed & nervous)
My Roll No is 1602
I’m here to attempt this exam for the fourth time
Haah...What is your problem?
Me sounding like bosti manu (villager) or what?
I fail every year and I don’t have problem
Then what’s your problem...??
Even Thomas Alva Edison has failed for the hundred times while making bulb
Nahoi nake...?? (Is it not?)
Chup...(Be quiet)
Learn to respect your elders

Iteya hunebe te, moi laga papa laga daily dialogue
(Listen now to my father’s daily dialogue)
Papa para hotai moi ki kali te dakhe
(Daddy always scolds me)
Sabe uncle yanger laga bacha Toshi tu
(Look at uncle Yanger’s son Toshi)
Dimak sabe kuli neshina first class
(Got a first class brain like a bullet)
Sabe yate tui laga dimak third class
(And look you’ve got a dull brain)
Hotai top mare, first mare, ki ki mare
(He tops every time and scores first and what not????)
Sabe yate Papa hotai moike ladhi mare
(Look my Daddy hits me all the time)
Puribe shikebe, Toshi para shikebe
(Study, learn and get to learn from Toshi)
Guru dimak napukibe, yate tati neberabe
(Don’t carry cow dung brain and loaf around)

Ayaaa Papa...
(Oh...Daddy)
Tui bhi kunsa dimak phaal dakha??
(Even your brain was worthless...Is it not??)
Hotai hala nakurebe
(Don’t shout all the time)

Announcement !!
Pura Puri sob ki ekta khubur janai te ase
(It’s an announcement to all the elders)
Nijor laga bacha tusra bacha lokute compare nakorebe te....
(Don’t compare your child against the other)
Toshi bhi Toshi ase....Sunep bhi Sunep ase tu
(Toshi is Toshi and Sunep is Sunep)
Hoitu
(Yes..it is !!)
Hoishe...kali eman lakhilabe, iteya jabe maas mangso khelabe te
(Stop scolding, now go and feed your child meat and fish)
