Eat whatever you want, guys, hey!
Dig in as much as you like, guys, hey!
The girl is standing right here, hey!
Eat your fill and give your blessings, guys, hey!
Cigarettes, drinks...
Chicken biryani...
Grab whatever you find, I will settle the bill!
I am the generous giver here, hey!
Eat whatever you want, guys, hey!
Dig in as much as you like, guys, hey!
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Left behind by my father,
I have plenty of wealth and comfort!
Who on earth can come
and question my accounts?
If I feel like it,
I will treat you all to a feast!
If you want to drink,
I even have the cure right beside it, haha!
As for relations and family ties,
I do not have anyone.
I am a lone tree standing alone,
so why should I worry?
Every single day is merrymaking,
day and night is full of dance and celebration!
I have told you only the plain truth, hey hey hey!
Eat whatever you want, guys, hey!
Dig in as much as you like, guys, ha!
The girl is standing right here, hey hoy hoy hoy!
Eat your fill and give your blessings, hey hey thodoy!
To give me advice,
I do not need anyone, haha!
On their own, philosophies
spring up in my brain... hoo-hoo!
Maybe some ten people on this earth
are wise sages, haha!
The rest of the people
are busy honeybees like me!
Until the rooster crows at dawn,
we will sing our folk songs!
We will drift in dreams until morning comes!
The pleasure is endless,
and my heart is truly generous!
I have told you only the plain truth, hey hey hey thodoy!
Eat whatever you want, guys, hey... hey!
Dig in as much as you like, guys, hey... dig in!
The girl is standing right here, hey, aha ha ha!
Eat your fill and give your blessings, guys, hey!
Cigarettes, drinks...
Ah, chicken biryani...
Grab whatever you find, I will settle the bill!
I am the generous giver here, hey hey thodoy!
Eat whatever you want, guys, hey!
Ahaha
Dig in as much as you like, guys... hoy!
