Aaah... aa... aaah... aaah...
Aaaah... aaah... aaah... aaah... aa... haha...
Hey, the gentle Samba breeze,
Mischievously yesterday,
Blew away my saree!
Hey, over the lake bank,
As I just stood there casually,
The clouds became my saree... aah...
To put on a proper folk dance show,
I have arrived, mister!
To make you sweat through the night,
I stand here like fire, mister!
Just like Usain Bolt is made for running,
Kanaka is made for dancing!
Just like rose plants belong in a garden,
Kanaka belongs with a huge crowd!
Hey, Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, are you ready to dance with me?
Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, if not, just blow a whistle!
In an unruled notebook,
Written in white ink,
I am a song!
Without moving your lips,
Pronounce me with your breath, boy!
A spicy chili that tastes sweet,
Hey, wet firewood catching fire,
Hey, a boat fitted with two wings,
Hey folks, here comes Kanaka!
Political rallies gather crowds
Only when given liquor and biryani, man!
Ah... mister!
Just to catch a glimpse of this lovely bird,
Look at the crowd that gathered all on its own!
Hey, Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, are you ready to dance with me?
Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, if not, just blow a whistle!
Haan, the gentle Samba breeze,
Mischievously yesterday,
Blew away my saree!
Hey, over the lake bank,
As I just stood there casually,
The clouds became my saree... aah...
To put on a proper folk dance show,
I have arrived, mister!
To make you sweat through the night,
I stand here like fire, mister!
Ha, just like Usain Bolt is made for running,
Kanaka is made for dancing!
Just like rose plants belong in a garden,
Kanaka belongs with a huge crowd!
Hey, Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, are you ready to dance with me?
Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, Dio Rio Diya!
Hey, if not, just blow a whistle!
