(To the tune of “Carry me back to old Virgini”)

Carry me back to old Amara-giri

That’s where the mangoes, jacks and papaws grow

That’s where the sun shines, all the day long

That’s where my heart so longs to go….

To sit by the pool, watching fish dart and play

To weave happy dreams round a home a ந ொடி away

1 Literally means a second, but also used for a short space of time.
