Crazy, quirky stuff
is right here, ready to be served!
There are no limits or accounts to this,
giving out music will never run me dry!
Does it pull you in? Does it enchant you?
Striking the beat, deengu danga!
This is an artist's song!
Striking the beat, deengu danga!
It is a proper blast!
Crazy, quirky stuff
is right here, ready to be served!
There are no limits or accounts to this,
giving out music will never run me dry!
Poetry and music are my two wings,
Mmm... kmmm kmm mmmm
and my thoughts fly in every direction.
Shaangku shakkum shakkum
Shaangku shakkum shakkum
Colorful dreams fill my eyes,
Mmm... kmmm kmm mmmm
and along my paths, there is no darkness.
Shaangku shakkum shakkum
Shaangku shakkum shakkum
Which peak is there
that I haven't reached, tell me?
Tell me, which stage hasn't felt my footsteps?
What art form is there that I haven't mastered?
Who is the person who hasn't been captivated?
Does it pull you in? Does it enchant you?
Striking the beat, deengu danga!
This is an artist's song!
Striking the beat, deengu danga!
It is a proper blast!
What is the matter, my pretty young parrot?
Mmm... kmmm kmm mmmm
Why put on this dramatic dance with me?
Jinakku jinguchakka
Jinakku jinguchakka
Raindrops have fallen upon the soil,
Haha mm... kmmm
Haha kmm mmmm
let the buds bloom on the flowering vine!
Jinakku jinguchakka
Jinakku jinguchakka
As bees dance around fresh new blossoms,
and flowers sway on the island of youth,
as I dance, with a companion beside me,
and my graceful deer dances along, endless joy will flow!
Does it pull you in? Does it enchant you?
Striking the beat, deengu danga, aha!
This is an artist's song!
Striking the beat, deengu danga, aha!
It is a proper blast!
Crazy, quirky stuff
is right here, ready to be served!
There are no limits or accounts to this,
giving out music will never run me dry!
