Vembadi, my Alma Mater


On day one, I stepped into school tearfully,
In school uniform, clutching my bag nervously.
Miss Barker appeared! I gazed  at her fearfully,
Her foreign face scared the native lass tremendously!

Miss Barker, the disciplinarian, and her walk daily
From Lower to Upper School, we’ll never...

It's name starts a blame phrase
Which is ''Ayatollah U'' so!...

I miss your beauty and splendor:
The sun that pierces through your greenest trees,
Dreams that were born within your premises;

Will the friends I...

!No me ves! Ha perdido mi alma,
Alguno lugar en la escuela,
Posiblemente en los libros gris,
O en armarios que ha guardan
Los cuartos antipaticamente.

!No es verdadero! ?Por que, en
El lugar que estudiamos
Cosas preciosas, perdimos la
Que amamos la mejor del todo
El mundo? ?Puedes me decir por que?...
