Ah, come on, buddy!
Roll them over and pin them down,
Lift them up and slam them down, bro!
Punch low, punch high,
Just like that!
Like what?
Now, on a whole different level!
Jithak, jithak, jithak,
Jithak, jithak, jithak,
Jithak, jithak, jithak,
Dumukku, dumukku, dumukku,
Dumukku, dumukku, durirra!
Trandukku, trandukku, trandukku,
Trandukku, trandukku,
Hit it!
Jithak, jithak, jithak,
Jithak, jithak, jithak,
Oh my goodness...
[Dialogue]
Hey, don't bluff with your fake swagger!
Don't tuck up your towel and chase after people!
Don't scream loudly and try to intimidate!
Or else you'll end up lying flat with a fever!
Hey, don't bluff with your fake swagger!
Don't tuck up your towel and chase after people!
Don't scream loudly and try to intimidate!
Or else you'll end up lying flat with a fever!
You're the Joker, I'm the Ace of Spades!
If it's praise, it's Lord Jesus!
If it's local street style, you've gotta roll and dance, bro!
Hey, don't come and get trapped in a fight!
That useless fellow will go flying in a flash!
Do you even have that much stamina in you?
You need to bulk up first!
Hey, don't bluff with your fake swagger!
Don't tuck up your towel and chase after people!
Don't scream loudly and try to intimidate!
Or else you'll end up lying flat with a fever!
Hey, don't bluff with your fake swagger!
Don't tuck up your towel and chase after people!
Don't scream loudly and try to intimidate!
Or else you'll end up lying flat with a fever!
...
Hey, come here, little brother,
Shall I slice some watermelon for you?
Idle talk isn't my style,
When it comes to fist power, I'm Roman Reigns!
I swear to God!
Cabbage blends right into fried rice,
Just like that, blend in and get along with friends.
Those girls will simply
Leave you behind for money.
No matter how much cash
Comes our way, there is no chance we'll ever change!
Drop the show-off attitude, let's just dance!
The true face of Chennai is North Madras local guys!
We don't need any advice,
Because this is our youthful age!
Once this prime time is gone, it won't come back, bro!
If anyone asks, hand them an ice cream treat!
A guy who has no tiles on his roof
Is planning plastering work for his house!
Look at him opening and shutting the back door,
Trying to outrun Usain Bolt in speed!
Trying to crush someone like a bulldozer,
Looking for lusty thrills, uncle?
Calling you once the evening sets in,
Is Govindamma on video calls!
Hey, don't bluff with your fake swagger!
Don't tuck up your towel and chase after people!
Don't scream loudly and try to intimidate!
Or else you'll end up lying flat with a fever!
Hey, don't bluff with your fake swagger!
Don't tuck up your towel and chase after people!
Don't scream loudly and try to intimidate!
Or else you'll end up lying flat with a fever!
Even if you try to stop them, they'll keep dancing,
These feet of Rudhran!
If you try to run away, with his feet alone
He'll play you like a guitar!
Showing the exact same thing
Over and over again,
They are making everyone bored.
All of us here
Are the kind of heroes and roles
That everyone truly loves!
Just raise your voice and call out,
The entire neighbourhood will turn up for you!
When it comes to giving away love generously,
I'm like an Aadi clearance mega sale!
As you get to know me,
Closer and closer,
You'll see what a good person I am, bro!
But as my temper rises higher and higher,
Your skin will be ripped right off!
To anyone who comes asking for help,
You must lend a supporting shoulder, man!
If you make a solemn promise
And then twist the story,
Seven and a half years of misfortune will strike you!
Keep climbing steadily to the top,
Humility is your ladder, bro!
If anyone brings pain to innocent children,
I will finish him off for good!
Hey, don't bluff with your fake swagger!
Don't tuck up your towel and chase after people!
Don't scream loudly and try to intimidate!
Or else you'll end up lying flat with a fever!
Hey, don't bluff with your fake swagger!
Don't tuck up your towel and chase after people!
Don't scream loudly and try to intimidate!
Or else you'll end up lying flat with a fever!
Hey, don't bluff with your fake swagger!
Don't tuck up your towel and chase after people!
Don't scream loudly and try to intimidate!
Or else you'll end up lying flat with a fever!
