Hey, hey! I'll give you a tune, buddy!
Step to the beat of "Thadhukinathom",
And dance, big brother!
Don't just sit there worrying,
A good time is waiting for us!
A person's mind is like a honeybee,
And the one who loses his mind is a sage!
A person's mind is like a honeybee,
And the one who loses his mind is a sage!
Hey, hey! I'll give you a tune, buddy!
Step to the beat of "Thadhukinathom",
And dance, big brother, big brother!
My old man went mad trying to be a tough guy,
And the mother who bore me is a bit crazy too!
My relatives went mad over property and wealth,
And all the sense we learned has gone crazy now too!
Inside these little hearts, who stuffed in
All these heavy dreams, my lord?
Inside this prison, who locked away
These colorful little birds, my lord?
Enough of crying, we are laughing now!
Who is going to stop us?
Just let it go, buddy!
I'll give you a tune, buddy!
Step to the beat of "Thadhukinathom",
And dance, big brother!
Don't just sit there worrying,
A good time is waiting for us!
Ppipirippippi!

Chorus: Alright, ma'am, alright, ma'am, alright!
Male: Hey, you crazy fellow, stop it!
Male: Alright, go away, baldy!
A kingdom with neither masters nor slaves,
Look here, I am going to build it, my king!
Without hoisting any political party flags,
I will rule without even holding an assembly session!
Bribery...

Begging tins...

No caste, no religion, and no discrimination at all!
Look at this unique world, now make way!

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This song expresses a lighthearted yet deeply philosophical perspective on life from the viewpoint of inmates or individuals labeled as mentally unstable. Rather than treating their condition as a tragedy, they view their loss of conventional sanity as a liberation from the greedy, deceitful, and discriminatory world of 'sane' humans.
