Lyrics in Kannada
ತೋಟಕೆ ಹೋಗೋ ತಿಮ್ಮ
ತೋಳ ಬಂದೀತಮ್ಮ
ಹಸು ಮೈಸೋ ತಿಮ್ಮ
ಹಸು ಹಾದೀತಮ್ಮ
ಓಲೆ ಉರಿಸೋ ತಿಮ್ಮ
ಉರಿ ಸುಟ್ಟೀತಮ್ಮ
ಪಾಠ ಬರೆಯೋ ತಿಮ್ಮ
ಬಳಪ ಇಲ್ಲ ಅಮ್ಮ
ನೀರು ಸೇದೋ ತಿಮ್ಮ
ಕೈಯ್ಯಿ ನೋವು ಅಮ್ಮ
ಕಾವಲಿ ತಾರೋ ತಿಮ್ಮ
ಕಾಲು ನೋವು ಅಮ್ಮ
ಹೂವು ಬಿಡಿಸೊ ತಿಮ್ಮ
ಹಾವು ಬಂದೀತಮ್ಮ
ಊಟಕೆ ಬಾರೋ ತಿಮ್ಮ
ಓಡಿ ಬಂದೆನಮ್ಮ
Thotake Hogu Timma Meaning
Amma asks Timma to do the jobs of the house, and for every job lazy Timma has an excuse. “Go to the garden.” “A wolf might come, Amma.” “Milk the cow.” “The cow might kick.” “Light the stove.” “The fire might burn me.” “Write your lesson.” “I have no slate pencil (balapa).”
“Draw water from the well.” “My hand hurts.” “Bring the pan (kaavali).” “My leg hurts.” “Pick the flowers.” “A snake might come.” But the moment Amma says “Come and eat”, Timma comes running! Children love catching Timma out, and it is a gentle lesson about laziness.
