Chinne mamiyye

One fine day, we were kept awake all night long courtesy of staff Macklin, who was the duty BOS then. It was almost dawn when he tone down 'all right guys its almost morning , let's cheer up a bit with a song. Any volunteers? '. The silence was deafening u could hear a firing pin drop in the eerie of the nite. 'No volunteers i c ..... aaaa well then, lets continue shall we...' when lo n behold a lone voice was heard 'staff, i would like to volunteer..'. 'Waaa u all lucky this skot of yours willing to volunteer'. It was our skot Kandaiah. So he started to sing as we all clapped in unison..... Back then our version was as follows:

'chinna maamiye,chinna maamiye,chinna maamiye..

aiyoo papa tade undervey

aiyoo mama tade choliyee 

chinna maamiye,chinna maamiye,chinna maamiye..'

And we all laughed happily ever after but unfortunately the 'torture' session continued after that as we hastily went to armskot to withdraw our HK rifles for the morning PT :( and until today i have no idea what the tamil song means :D 

Anyway i did ask our skot Rajasingham about the song and he asked me to google the song with the correct pronunciation. Enjoy!! :D
