then you say

the hindi version was- http://prritiy.blogspot.in/2013/03/fir-kehte-hain.html -  हिंदी  में

then you say

Two elders conversing

days n nights are really of kids

No tension to earn

No sleep lost, on fear of losing

.

.

Forgot, the days of infancy

Words, pink petals didn’t know

It was hard conveying

To say what was ailing

To state, only by wailing

Oh! Bladder is brimming

And you! pat my stomach

Rushed out, was held till now

Made clothes wet again, then you say

Ah!  Bladder is relaxing

Elders are still tittle-tattling

Oh! Stomach seems empty

Look at others with eagerness

Again started crying, then you say

Oh! The awful stomach-ache

Mom asleep, merciless all will say

Tears flow and cry out, milk being fed

God! singing lullaby to make me sleep

Does not stop crying, then you say

Such, some infancy tensions,

Gave a thought? why surprised?

Was learning to speak easy anyway?

Innumerable falls while learning to walk

You baba babble, speak clear then you say

Don’t touch that, don’t go there

If ask anything- ‘don’t pester now’

We have no money with us

Day n night we are lectured

So much we have to bear

Cannot lead life on our own way

What a carefree life and then you say
