Eight, seven, six, five,
Four, three, two, one!
Hey, Annamalai's brother is here,
I've come to dance, man!
I'm your commander, here to sing Gaana songs,
I've come to sing, man!
Don't try to strike a deal, man,
It'll give you a beating, man!
Gaana is the one that sets the stage on fire!
Don't come close and act tough, man!
In every nook and corner, it's Gaana,
I'm the pro who tears the floor apart!
Hey, Annamalai's brother is here,
I've come to dance, man!
I'm your commander, here to sing Gaana songs,
I've come to sing, man!
Don't try to strike a deal, man,
It'll give you a beating, man!
Gaana is the one that sets the stage on fire!
Don't come close and act tough, man!
In every nook and corner, it's Gaana,
I'm the pro who tears the floor apart!
Well done, Western music banner!
Well done music, answer this question!
Sunday beach for a sandwich treat,
Santhome Street is a total musical treat!
We are the Backstreet Boys, man,
The best-fit boys, man!
Your Gaana is nothing but
The barking noise of a mad dog, man!
Listen to Western music,
It's a much better choice, man!
Five, four, three, two, one!
Hey, a three-legged stool has three legs, man!
The chair that you sit on
Has four legs, man!
Hey, truthfully, a tomato
Has no legs at all, man!
I swear on your father, to defeat me,
There isn't a single soul, man!
If it comes down to a rivalry,
I'm ready for it, man!
I'm quick as a spark, buddy,
I am the charioteer of Gaana, man!
Once you lose to me,
You will have to run, you will have to take off running, man!
Don't show off your flashy tricks here!
In the USA and in Europe,
In New Zealand and in England,
Across the entire world,
The rap virus has spread!
New tunes, new speed,
A heavy beat and high heart rates,
Just pause for a single minute
And listen to it right here!
In your Gaana,
There is no sweetness, there is no beat,
No feel that fires you up and sets the mood,
There is no disco,
And no breakdance either!
Hey, shut your mouth and walk away without singing!
Hey, Gaana is full of fun,
Gaana drives away all stress,
Once you get hooked on it,
It is the fiery Poonamallee Gaana!
Don't mess with me in vain,
Don't try to pick a fight,
Hey, I've traveled all around China,
I'm a sharp arrow with tassels, man!
Hey, Annamalai's brother is here,
I've come to dance, man!
I'm your commander, here to sing Gaana songs,
I've come to sing, man!
Don't try to strike a deal, man,
It'll give you a beating, man!
Gaana is the one that sets the stage on fire!
Don't come close and act tough, man!
In every nook and corner, it's Gaana,
I'm the pro who tears the floor apart!
