திரையில நானும்
தெரிய சிறுத்தையா மாறும்
ஜனம்டி நடிகைகள் என்ன
உரச பரவுமே நித்தம் வதந்தி
When I appear on the screen
The crowd will transform into wild leopards in excitement
When actresses brush past me
Rumors will spread every single day
ஓ ஓ வசூல நான்
அள்ளி குவிக்க ஒசருமே
வங்கி கணக்கு உசுர போல்
என்னை நினைக்கும் ரசிகர்
தான் சொந்தம் எனக்கு
Oh... ohhh
As I gather heapfuls of box office collections
My bank account balance will soar
The fans who cherish me like their own life
They are my true family
ஹே கை காசு தந்து
தந்து கால் ஷீட்டுக்கு பல
கம்பெனி தூது அனுப்பும்
தின சரி தின சரி தின சரி
தின சரி
Hey... offering cash in hand
To book my dates
Many production companies will send messengers
Every day... every day...
Every day... every day
இந்த சிறுசுங்க
சிறுசுங்க மனசுல நான்
இடத்தையும் புடிப்பேன்
முடிவுல ஒரு அகில உலக
நடிகரா பெரு வேனே

In the hearts of these youngsters
I will eventually capture a permanent spot
As an international superstar actor
I will earn grand, everlasting fame
ஊர் எல்லாம் என்
கட் அவுட்டு நிக்குமே
