My name is Matta
My name is Matta
My name is Matta
Sekar!
If you touch me
If you touch me
If you touch me
It's danger!
My name is Matta
My name is Matta
My name is Matta
Sekar!
If you touch me
If you touch me
If you touch me
It's danger!
You cheap, useless nobodies,
Step aside!
Open your ears and listen well,
I am the real heavyweight!
Against a wounded tiger,
Your tricks will never work.
If you get caught by Matta,
You will be chewed up and spat out!
My words will terrify,
Blasting with explosive power!
Even my crew
Will step in and crush you!
I walk in twirling my mustache,
No one can defeat me.
My rampage and authority
Will rock this whole place!
My name is Matta
My name is Matta
My name is Matta
Sekar!
If you touch me
If you touch me
If you touch me
It's danger!
My name is Matta
My name is Matta
My name is Matta
Sekar!
If you touch me
If you touch me
If you touch me
It's danger!
No fear,
No fear,
No fear,
There is no such thing as fear!
No fear,
No fear,
No fear,
There is no such thing as fear!
A wild elephant will lose
Before a furious lion.
Any army that clashes with me
Will turn its back and run!
Many people try to dig my grave,
History comes and goes.
When a war breaks out,
There is no right or wrong!
I stride in like a king,
Giving my enemies endless grief!
It will chase you down without stopping,
Our wild, explosive game!
We are stirring up trouble, so get lost!
Do not step in front of me, back off!
The shout I let out will burst your eardrums!
The blows I land will tear you apart!
My people stand by my side,
Everything runs by my law!
A fierce dance of fury
Begins right now!
Like a fearless young calf,
Charging with raging fury!
You cannot fight me at all,
Just shut up and listen!
As the drawn sword swings,
True power is born!
Against the enemy's chest,
It aches to strike a blow!
To leave its mark,
It leaps past every barrier!
Victory to our brother, victory!
Victory to our brother!
Victory to our brother, victory!
Victory to our brother!
Victory to our brother, victory!
Victory to our brother!
Victory to our brother, victory!
Victory to our brother!
