She wore a big coin-sized bindi,
Whom did this sister spare?
She put jasmine flowers in her hair bun,
And unleashed a serpent in her eyes...
{Chikku chikku boom boom
Chikku chikku boom boom
Chikku chikku chikku chikku boom boom} (2)
Hey, this is a tough neighborhood,
This is our fortress!
If you try to flirt around here,
You will run away and never return!
Just like a crisp puri,
The enemy's eyes will be crushed!
No army has ever clashed and won
In this town... Mmm...
Chikku chikku chikku chikku

Chikku chikku chikku chikku boom boom} (2)
Chikku chikku boom boom
Chikku chikku boom boom
We do exactly what we say,
And if anyone does wrong, we tear them apart!
We have never feared anyone,
Our whole body is filled with courage!
We leave our doors wide open when we go,
Because there is nothing here to steal!
Our hut may be small,
But our hearts are truly big!
Hey, according to the law,
I might be a criminal, man!
Hey, by the code of justice,
I am pure gold, man!
We belong to the kind of clan
That would even give our lives for honesty, man!
Chikku chikku chikku chikku

She wore a big coin-sized bindi,
Whom did this sister spare?
She put jasmine flowers in her hair bun,
And unleashed a serpent in her eyes...
Hey... hey hey..........
If evil thoughts come near,
We must chase them away and strike!
Even in broad daylight,
We sweat and work under the hot sun!
If anything happens to this town,
Maasi will come and handle it!
If anything happens to Maasi,
Anyone in this town will demand an answer!
If even the breeze wants to enter,
It must wait and ask for our permission!
Hey, if sister Manjula just soaps up
And takes a bath,
Like hypnotized chickens,
The whole town stares and yearns!
In this life of ours,
There is both love and conflict, man!
Chikku chikku chikku chikku
Chikku chikku chikku
She wore a big coin-sized bindi,
Whom did this sister spare?
She put jasmine flowers in her hair bun,
And unleashed a serpent in her eyes...
Hey, this is a tough neighborhood,
This is our fortress!
If you try to flirt around here,
You will run away and never return!
Just like a crisp puri,
The enemy's eyes will be crushed!
No army has ever clashed and won
