வேதாளத்த தின்னு ஏப்பம் விடும்
விக்ர விக்ர விக்ர விக்ர விக்ரமாதித்தன் நானம்மா
வண்டி ஓட்டிப் போகணும்டா தூரமா
என் வயிறு இங்கே பசிக்குதடா கோரமா
சீக்கிரம் ஏதாச்சும் கொண்டா சூடா காரமா
It burps like a Vedhala (ghoul)
Vikram, Vikram, Vikram, Vikram!
I am King Vikramaditya, oh girl!
Drive the vehicle and let us go far away
My stomach isn't sharply hungry here
Bring something hot and spicy quickly
சூடா காரமா சூடா காரமா
ஹையோ பாவமா மாட்டிக்கிச்சி ஆடுமா
வேண்டாத வேலை எல்லாம் ஒனக்கெதுக்கு ராசா
கூண்டுக்குள்ள காலெடுத்து வெக்குறியே லூசா
இப்பக் கூட ஒண்ணும் இல்ல ஓடிப் போயிடு
இல்ல எங்களோட சங்கத்துல மெம்பராயிடு
Hot and spicy, hot and spicy!
Oh poor thing, the person got trapped!
Why do you need all this unwanted trouble, my prince?
Are you crazy to step foot inside a cage?
Even now nothing is lost, run away!
Or else become a member in our association!
சூடா வந்தது சூப்பர் மாமா
காரமா கேட்டேனே காரமா காரமா...
Hot food has arrived, super Uncle!
Did I ask for spicy? Spicy, spicy!
ம்.ம்.ம்.ம்....

எங்கிருந்து வந்தானோ எதுக்காக வந்தானோ
திருகாணி எடுக்குறான் மறையாணி முடுக்குறான்
பல் சக்கரம் மாட்டி விட்டு குதிரைய ஓட்டுறான்
தோட்டாவே இல்லாம துப்பாக்கியால் தாக்குனான்
Where did he come from?

Male Chorus: He unscrews the bolts
He tightens the threads
Fitting the gears in place
He drives like a horse
கானா கானா தெலுங்கானா
இவன் ஜெயிச்சிடப் பொறந்த சுல்தானா
கானா கானா தெலுங்கானா
என்ன மயக்கிட வந்த மஸ்தானா
Without even touching
He attacks with a gun!
ஆள தெரியாம அட்ரஸு கேட்டுட்டேன்
ஆட முடியாம ஐயா நான் தோத்துட்டேன்
தண்ணி காட்டுறது என் பொழுதுபோக்கு
என்ன சாச்சுப்புட்ட காலர நீ தூக்கு
நீ தான் டௌனுக்குள்ள டாக்கு
Gaana gaana Telungaana!
Is he a sultan born to win?
Gaana gaana Telungaana!
Is he a mystic master who came to shake me up?
Not knowing who he was, I asked for his address
Unable to play till the end, sir, I lost!
Outsmarting others was my pastime
You knocked me out, pop your collar up!
You are the talk of the town!
கானா கானா தெலுங்கானா
அந்த ஐகளின் ஐ அது இவன் தானா
கானா கானா தெலுங்கானா
இவன் எங்கள விடுவிக்க வந்தானா
Gaana gaana Telungaana!
Is he the 'I' among all the 'I's?
Gaana gaana Telungaana!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Gaana Gaana' from '10 Enradhukulla' is an energetic, high-spirited folk-pop track set against a road trip backdrop near the Andhra/Telangana border region. It opens with references to King Vikramaditya and the legendary Vedhala, establishing the protagonist's fearlessness and sharp driving persona as he demands hot, spicy food to recharge. The lyrics unfold as a playful musical duel and banter between the hero, a female dancer, and local villagers. The song uses vibrant spice imagery—comparing character and charm to fiery chillies and reddening betel leaves—to highlight swagger and attraction. As the hero effortlessly displays his mechanic skills and commanding presence, the locals shift from mocking him to celebrating him as a winning 'Sultan' who breaks free from obstacles.
