Raja, Cable Raja
Raja, Cable Raja
Raja, Cable Raja
Raja, Cable Raja
Don't crowd around
The hunt starts right now
A brand new change has come
He is Raja, the king
A fierce king who has arrived for the hunt
Flattery? Who needs flattery?
He will never butter anyone up
Hey come on, my friend
Raw banana fritter
He'll tear your body apart
And fry you up like a fritter
Fritter, fritter, fritter, fritter
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh, the master of all trades!
Yeah yeah yeah
The brand-new lover boy!
Yeah yeah yeah
A really bad boy!
Yeah yeah yeah
A restless young lad from now on!
Come on, Raja!
Come on, Raja!
Come on, Raja!
He is Cable Raja
He will chop you down
He's one dangerous guy, bro!
Across every street and corner
He is everyone's darling, bro!
Speaking with no filter
Flaunting the strength he's got
Making mischief with nimble fingers
He is a wild troublemaker, buddy!
Strike hard down low!
Leap up and punch!
Don't stand in his way
Don't raise your head against him
The boss won't tolerate it
Don't get caught in trouble
Hoo hoora...
En saal bitta maa
Chilli billi kaa
Chillaaki doom
Naa koogi ye burra burra doom
Aa doom hey hey hey dhurrr
Buddyyy!
Raja, Cable Raja
Raja, Cable Raja
Oh man!
Raja, Cable Raja
Hit it, buddy!
Raja, Cable Raja
Strike it hard down low!
Hey come on, my friend
Raw banana fritter
He'll tear your body apart
And fry you up like a fritter
Fritter, fritter, fritter, fritter
Come on, come on, come on, come on...
Raja, Cable Raja
Raja, Cable Raja
Raja, Cable Raja
Raja, Cable Raja
Hey come on, my friend
Raw banana fritter
Tearing your body apart
Tearing, tearing, tearing, tearing
Yeah, tearing it apart...!
