Hey, let the dholak (drum) beat and shake!
This is the Pattinapakkam club!
Hey, toss up the flower bouquets!
This bride and groom are pure class!
Haan, no need to over-analyze, Balaji!
Look, they've smoothly become a pair!
Haan, the pretty girl Meenakshi,
Has now stepped into a love marriage!
Hey, twinkle twinkle little star,
Look, the single has become a double!
Look at the jingling song,
Look at the dance in a lungi!

Aah dingara dingara dingaa

Hey hey hey hey-hey
Hey hey hey hey-hey
If a stunning girl
looks your way and checks you out,
Don't you fear, your friend is right here!
Our fighting gang
will arrive to back you up,
Just blow a gentle whistle!
Oh, if any trouble comes,
friends must step up to the front, man!
And casually give up their lives for you, man!
Chorus: Oh, absolutely!
Then, buddy, won't that girl
think of you as a brother?
If you guys ever fight each other,
she will bring you back together, man!
Chorus: Look at that!
Aaha, at the wedding,
just like we promised,
look how we've all come together!
Aah, twinkle twinkle
Male: Little star!
Chorus: Haa, in a lungi, in a lungi
Male: Look at the dance!

{Aah, twinkle twinkle
Little star
Haa, in a lungi, in a lungi
Look at the dance!} (2)
Aah aah haa aah...
Only if you win in your life,
are you truly top class!
Make it happen with your wife!
Only if you work hard, money comes,
she will come close and give you a kiss!
So make a proper living now, man!
Living peacefully as a family,
in joyful celebration!
If arguments drag on too long,
Build a sweet little home,
and show off your swagger, man!
Raise children of your own,
and write their names on your auto-rickshaw, man!
Like a total champion,
you've got to rock it, man!
Chorus: Oh, yes!
Buy an auto-rickshaw of your own,
and if the three of you ride in it, that's enough!
Chorus: Aah, twinkle twinkle
Male: Rambling star!
Chorus: Haa, in a lungi, in a lungi
Male: Look at the dance!
Hey, let the dholak (drum) beat and shake!
This is the Pattinapakkam club!
Hey, toss up the flower bouquets!
This bride and groom are pure class!
Haan, no need to over-analyze, Balaji!
Look, they've smoothly become a pair!
Haan, the pretty girl Meenakshi,
Has now stepped into a love marriage!
