Jolly O Gymkhana
Let's face whatever comes
Are you standing strong?
Life can turn around at any moment
Do you believe it, my friend?
Hey, let's face whatever comes
Are you standing strong?
Life can turn around at any moment
Do you believe it, my friend?
Whoever comes here
And tries to scare you
If you just smile without getting flustered
He will back off and walk away, man!
Even if you lose everything
And you are left standing empty-handed
If you stay calm without panicking
Hey, you are a beast, man!
Ramamma, hey Ramamma
Jolly O Gymkhana
Rasamma, hey Rasamma
Can you hear my song?
Ramamma, hey Ramamma
Jolly O Gymkhana
Rasamma, hey Rasamma
Is what I said right?
Is it right?
Yes, it is right!
Jolly O Gymkhana
Jolly O Gymkhana
You are hesitating so much
Running away at the sight of trouble
Oh man, why do you underestimate yourself
And judge your own worth so low?
You have got to show your real strength, man
We have got to take on the fight, man
My friend, whoever comes, make them panic
And show off your swagger, man!
If you keep holding on to it
The problem will never end
If you just toss it away
Your tension will never rise
If you live in fear of the world
That is never going to work
Do not surrender to anyone
Do not let go of victory
A person who complains is a joke
If you stand up and fight, you are the boss
Once you set your mind on something
You must make it happen, my friend—confirmed!
If someone touches you even once
If they dare lay a hand on you
And you give it right back to them
Hey, you are a beast, man!
Ramamma, hey Ramamma
Jolly O Gymkhana
Rasamma, hey Rasamma
Can you hear my song?
Ramamma, hey Ramamma
Jolly O Gymkhana
Rasamma, hey Rasamma
Is what I said right?
Is it right?
Yes, it is right!
