Vaada machi oora suthi pakka povom
Natpu kulla pudhu artham theduvom
Lifea jollya vibe-u panna porom
Orukkulla atti yettu poduvom
Kasu panam theva ila natpukulla
Anbu mattum podhum yethuvum kekkavilla
Chinna pulla pola arambikkum sandaiyila
Sagum vara namma aatam thappe ila
Lifefulla sethu vecha natpe podhum machi
Yenaku thaa kavala ila fun moodum start -u aachu
Lifefulla naa sethu vecha natpe pothum machi
Yenaku thaa Kavala ila fun moodum start – u aachu
Thol mela kaiyya pottu getha oorukulla
Bike oottum podhu yangala adichikka aale ila
Future pathi nanga konjam kuda yosikkala
Friendshipila pootti veikka manasukul yethuvum ila
En Kadhalukku nee thaanda thoodhu
Mothalukkum machi nee en thodhu
Nee ilana valka thanimaiyil veruppu
Natpu mattum podhum tholvi ila yenakku
Natpukku naduvul ego kidayathe
Vaazhum kaalam namma pasam marakkathe
Un kooda iruntha sogam kidaiyathe
Engaloda friendship story idhu thaane…
Vaada machi oora suthi pakka povom
Natpu kulla pudhu artham theduvom
Lifea jollya vibe-u panna porom
Orukkulla atti yettu poduvom
Kasu panam theva ila natpukulla
Anbu mattum podhum yethuvum kekkavilla
Chinna pulla pola arambikkum sandaiyila
Sagum vara namma aatam thappe ila
Vaada machi oora suthi pakka povom
Natpu kulla pudhu artham theduvom
Lifea jollya vibe-u panna porom
Orukkulla atti yettu poduvom
Come on, buddy, let's roam around the town
Let's find a new meaning in our friendship
We're going to vibe and enjoy our life
Let's hang out and chill together in town
Money and wealth aren't needed in friendship
Just love is enough, I ask for nothing more
Even with the silly fights that start like little kids,
living it up till we die is never wrong
This friendship earned for a lifetime is enough, buddy
I have no worries now, the fun mood has kicked in
This friendship earned for a lifetime is enough, buddy
I have no worries now, the fun mood has kicked in
With an arm over your shoulder, rolling with swagger through town,
when we ride our bike, nobody can beat us
We haven't worried about the future even a bit
There's no thought in our hearts to ever hold our friendship back
You are the messenger for my love, man
And in whatever I begin, buddy, you are my perfect match
Without you, living in loneliness feels so empty
Just this friendship is enough, I will never face defeat
There is no room for ego between friends
As long as we live, let's never forget our bond
When I am with you, there is no sorrow at all
Isn't this what our friendship story is all about?
Come on, buddy, let's roam around the town
Let's find a new meaning in our friendship
We're going to vibe and enjoy our life
Let's hang out and chill together in town
Money and wealth aren't needed in friendship
Just love is enough, I ask for nothing more
Even with the silly fights that start like little kids,
living it up till we die is never wrong
Come on, buddy, let's roam around the town
Let's find a new meaning in our friendship
We're going to vibe and enjoy our life
Let's hang out and chill together in town
