Hello, Maruti!
Tell me, what is your name, girl?
It's a Cielo car, girl!
It is flying in search of you!
Hello, good morning, Joshiba!
It's pure joy only when friends get together!
Hello, good morning, Joshiba!
It's pure joy only when friends get together!
The fragrance of your Fair & Lovely cream,
blows in the breeze, calling my name!
Male: This life is a one-way street, Julie!
And our life is always full of fun!
Chorus: Our freedom is forever!
Hey hey hey!
Hello, good morning, Joshiba!

Hey hey hey!
Hey hey hey!
Bell-bottoms and Karakattam dance,
that was the old era!
Male: Tight jeans and breakdance,
this is the modern age!
Aha... aa... ah... hoo!
A fresh rose is top-class,
and she is wearing cool sunglasses!
Male: Without even taking an exam,
we have passed the test of friendship!
Hey, like the birds of Vedanthangal (bird sanctuary),
we will fly free all our lives!
Male: Even the language that flowers speak,
we will translate through our friendship!
Look at that moon dressed in a salwar!
Chorus: Beauty!
Male: Hey, give her a salute!
Chorus: Jolly!
Look at that moon dressed in a salwar!
Hey, give her a salute!

Come on, friend, whatever you want,
make a list!
Male: If the moon wants to come down here,
give it a lift!
Aha... aa... na... ah...
There are no obstacles,
and what is there to hold us back?
Male: Even if you only find shells,
search for a pearl inside them!
Oh, the era of boarding airplanes
has arrived in the age of satellites!
Male: The apple sent from the Garden of Eden
is walking along the highway road!
Our days of youth are heaven!
Chorus: Beauty!
Male: We belong to the breed of fragrant flowers!
Chorus: Jolly!
Our days of youth are heaven!
We belong to the breed of fragrant flowers!
Male: There are no goodbyes here,
there are only welcomes...
Hello, good morning, Joshiba, Joshiba!
It's pure joy only when friends get together, haha!

Overall song meaning

The characters voice their boundless optimism, emphasizing that friendship overcomes all tests and brings eternal joy and freedom without room for goodbyes.
