Come Dance with me before you go!
Come Dance with me before you go!
Who is there in this whole world to beat You?
Tamil Nadu is proud to have borne You,
O Universal Hero! O Universal Hero! (Incidentally, Universal Hero is the epithet that Kamal chooses to prefix to his name on the title cards)
The cheeks go red when You are here
And the UN (United Nations Assembly) will shortly be calling you. (!)
You are a mighty artist
A forever- youngster
A mystic poet, as well.
Within this mortal life, you have succeeded in taking 1000 births
In this small lifetime, You have seen the moon rise a thousand times.
You are always facing grave problems
Yet, you are never drained of enthusiasm
You started dancing when you were 5 years old.
You are still going strong.
You don’t seem to run out of oxygen. (!)
And an Oscar award is not too far.
(Who is there in this whole world to beat You?---REPEAT)
O Universal Hero! O Universal Hero!
A human being is born with one face
Deep within, he hides a 100 faces
You have been ‘peeling’ faces
You have been studying minds
O Wise One! You are the only one to grasp Freud (Sigmund, Yes!)
Like the trees that rest inside seeds,
Universes sleep inside Your cells.
You walked through fire
To overcome Your own self.
Now, You have become an institution!
O Universal Hero! O Universal Hero!
