Salla kadaya saathu
Sappa kattuku sappa kottura
Mattam thattura kadaya saathu
Kudutha kaasuku mela kuvura
Vela pakkura padayal party
Aracha mavayae arachu edukalaam
Anacha adicha kaatha nikkudhu
Sethu currency note izhukkudhu paathu
En vocals ellupi oli parappuvom
Ocha kedakkum oorukku
Ennaikku kaathu karuppu kitta nerungadhu
Mettu katti paadu pattuku
Ennaya aatti padaikkum elra sanikku
Ippo duty mudinjidhu velai illa ini
Naadu kadathuna naadu parappom
Overseas la odi pudichi
Vathala konduttu vaadi pattiki
Paadha yathara poga poren
En pithala sombula ethana otta-nnu
Kaiya vittu enni pakka poren
Kandha sastiya nenachu dishtiya kalichu
History la name-ah natta varen ini
Thottathu thollanga
Vittatha pidikka methanathula na paada poren
Salla kadaya saathu
Sappa kattuku sappa kottura
Mattam thattura kadaya saathu
Kudutha kaasuku mela kuvura
Vela pakkura padayal party
Aracha mavayae arachu edukalaam
Anacha adicha kaatha nikkudhu

Thara thattura varaikkum
Ottittu irukkadha
Thevaikku thedunum virunthu
Yeruna nethikku poi solli
Sottaiya marakka ethukku ithana marundhu
Vattiki kadan vangittu na vandiya kattitu
Pattanam vandhutten paranthu
Podiku poyala suthuma
Sonnavanukellam vaaila vaikkanum nalungu
Un kottaellam mudinjidhu

Ottadha unnoda kadha ulluru kulla olinjidhu
Un kottaellam mudinjidhu

Ottadha unnoda kadha ulluru kulla sellaadhu
Nee kadaya saathu
Sappa kattuku sappa kottura

Adi adikkira summer-saltu

Sokkali oora koottu paada porom molam kotti
Okkali oram thallu vaikka poren vedi vettu
Karuthu kanippu miss aavadhu

Kada poruppu thorappai poda maattaan

Shut down your petty shop,
Applauding every lame excuse,
Shut down the shop that puts others down!
Crowing far louder than the money you got,
Hustling just for the feast offerings!
You can keep grinding the same old batter,
The storm that raged has settled now,
Look, it is raking in stacks of cash!
I will raise my voice and broadcast loud,
To this battered, broken town.
Dark spirits will never come near me,
As I tune up and sing my song.
For the seven-and-a-half-year Saturn that plagued me,
The shift is over now, no job left anymore!
If you exile me, I will take over foreign lands,
Playing tag all over the world.
Bring the dried crisps for grandma,
I am setting out on a walking pilgrimage.
How many leaks are in my brass pot?
I am going to reach inside and count them.
Praying to Kanda Sashti, warding off the evil eye,
I am stepping up to plant my name in history now.
Trouble followed whatever I touched,
To win back what was lost, I will sing from the terrace!
Shut down your petty shop,
Applauding every lame excuse,
Shut down the shop that puts others down!
Crowing far louder than the money you got,
Hustling just for the feast offerings!
You can keep grinding the same old batter,
The storm that raged has settled now,
Look, it is raking in stacks of cash!
Until you hit rock bottom,
Do not just hang around,
Go hunt for the feast you need.
Telling lies to hide a receding hairline,
Why buy so much medicine just to cover a bald spot?
Borrowing on interest, packing my ride,
I flew straight down to the city!
Can you roll snuff like tobacco leaves?
I should smear paste to shut the mouths of everyone who talked!
Your fortress is done and dusted,
Your gang's plans have fallen apart,
Your fake story is hiding inside your hometown.
Your fortress is done and dusted,
Your gang's plans have fallen apart,
Your fake story will not even sell in your hometown!
Just close down your shop!
Applauding every lame excuse,
Shut down the shop that puts others down!
Crowing far louder than the money you got,
Hustling just for the feast offerings!
You can keep grinding the same old batter,
The storm that raged has settled now,
Look, it is raking in stacks of cash!
Landing a punch with a somersault,
Sharp and bright like burning camphor,
Even if I lurk in the underground,
In this battle arena, I am Travis Scott!
Chokkali, gather the town, we are drumming and singing!
Hey, move aside, I am lighting the firecrackers!
The opinion poll will never miss,
Stop spitting venom and stand aside.
The owner will not hand over the shop keys,
Yet you still stand in line at the ration shop!
Shave your head here for your holy vow,
There is a new rule in this town every single day!
A cottage thatched with stripped palm leaves,
There is no shortage of mischief from me!
Even if we stir porridge and dig for roots,
Pure honey drips through our songs!
When a challenge comes, I will not get trapped,
I will take flight like a swift bird!
To deliver the big vessel my sister picks,
We are carrying the palanquin on our shoulders!
Dropping into the mainstream, flying across the map,
I will mix folk tunes into rap!
Shut down your petty shop,
Applauding every lame excuse,
Shut down the shop that puts others down!
Crowing far louder than the money you got,
Hustling just for the feast offerings!
You can keep grinding the same old batter,
The storm that raged has settled now,
Look, it is raking in stacks of cash!
Shut down your petty shop,
Applauding every lame excuse,
Shut down the shop that puts others down!
Crowing far louder than the money you got,
Hustling just for the feast offerings!
You can keep grinding the same old batter,
The storm that raged has settled now,
Look, it is raking in stacks of cash!
