The meaning of the song:
Children: Uncle (cikkappa) is it a story?
PBS: yes (my) intelligent kid
This is a wonderful, joyous tale is here.
Listen to this new, moral story here.
A bird’s nest in a tree, anthill on the floor (near that tree)
Forest and river in between, listen to the story and sing
Ant was about to drown in the river; bird throws a leaf to rescue the ant.
Ant was waiting for the chance to help the bird, which saved its life
Childen: Next (with curiosity)
PBS: Hunter came like Yama (god of death)
Children: ayyoyyo is he kills?
PBS: can he miss the chance?
Children: hAM!
Hunter was about to kill the bird; ant bites the hunter’s leg
(If) you have done something good to anybody, it will not go wasted, and this is the moral you learn from this story.
