{Chennaiyila engalatha local innanga
Enga richie street-a thaanda
Local foreign innanga} (2)
Namma fate-u duplicate-u
Bill podama avom bill gate
Namma route-u illa gate-u
Ada trump-kukae oodhuda trumpet-u
Thevaiyilla publicity
Dei naangathaanae heart of city
Illa inga shift-u duty
Inga eppodum vaakkudhaan warranty
Dagalti dagalti dagalti dagalti
Illa dubakuru silphonsu dagal dagalti
Dagalti dagalti dagalti dagalti
Illa dubakuru silphonsu dagal dagalti
{Chennaiyila engalatha local innanga
Enga richie street-a thaanda
Local foreign innanga} (2)
Pakisthan-u pakkathila
Paththu ground-u buildingula
Kootipoyi sollithandaan
Ennaannu enakkaethaan puriyalla
Campus-nnaan US-nnaan
Mudinja pinnae settle-nnaan
Engineer-nnu namba sonnan
Mudichumdhaan edhuvumae thodangala

In Chennai, they call us local,
But once you cross into our Ritchie Street,
They say what is local is imported foreign!
Even if our fate is a duplicate knock-off,
We will become Bill Gates without writing a bill!
On our route, there is no gate to block us,
Hey, blow the trumpet even at Trump!
We do not need any publicity,
Hey, aren't we the heart of this city?
There are no shift duties here,
Around here, our word is always the warranty!
Pure trickery, clever hustle, sheer street-smart moves!
No fake bluffing, fixing cellphones with slick hustle!
Pure trickery, clever hustle, sheer street-smart moves!
No fake bluffing, fixing cellphones with slick hustle!
In Chennai, they call us local,
But once you cross into our Ritchie Street,
They say what is local is imported foreign!
Right out next to Pakistan,
In a building sitting on ten grounds of land,
They took us in and taught us lessons,
But what it was, even I could not understand!
They promised campus jobs, they promised the US,
They said we would be settled once it was all over,
They told us to believe we were engineers,
But even after graduating, nothing ever started!
We do not need any publicity,
Hey, aren't we the heart of this city?
There are no shift duties here,
Around here, our word is always the warranty!
Pure trickery, clever hustle, sheer street-smart moves!
No fake bluffing, fixing cellphones with slick hustle!
Pure trickery, clever hustle, sheer street-smart moves!
No fake bluffing, fixing cellphones with slick hustle!
We will work at any hour of the day or night,
Whatever you tell us, we will dive right in and do it!
Without collecting every single payment,
We will never go to sleep!
For Apple and for Google,
We have slogged like daily-wage laborers!
The time when our local hustle pays off,
Is really not far away at all, man!
We do not need any publicity,
Hey, aren't we the heart of this city?
There are no shift duties here,
Around here, our word is always the warranty!
Pure trickery, clever hustle, sheer street-smart moves!
No fake bluffing, fixing cellphones with slick hustle!
Pure trickery, clever hustle, sheer street-smart moves!
No fake bluffing, fixing cellphones with slick hustle!
