Yeh everybody gonna toMale :Everybody listen to Samba bumba rumba thumbathumba Everybody time to move on in life And just say party
Everybody listen to the samba, bumba, rumba, thumba! Everybody, mambo jumbo bembo calling a party! Everybody move it, move it, move it, move it now! Everybody running and coming, it's time to party!
Everybody listen to the samba, bumba, rumba, thumba-thumba! Everybody grooving, shaking, moving, getting naughty! Everybody goring, goring, goring, goringo! Everybody, it's time to move on in life and just say party!
Hey... hey... hey hey, when love arrives, my feet start dancing after you on their own like the wind!
When desire sparks and you say 'I love you', my eyes spin in wonder right before you!
Hey, you made a clever plan, spoke with swagger, and completely won me over! (Chorus: Oh yeah, oh!)
Twirling your sharp machete-like moustache and glaring at me, you stirred my heart! (Chorus: Oh yeah, oh!)
Hey come here, girl, you're vibrant like a vadamalli flower! Your waist is slim as a hairpin, your smile is as cool as AC, your back is solid as teakwood, and seeing you all at once brings on a fever!
Hey... one more time, let's try!
Everybody listen to the samba, bumba, rumba, thumba-thumba! Everybody, mambo jumbo bembo calling a party! Everybody goring, goring, goring, goringo! Everybody, it's time to move on in life and just say party!
It has become hard to place the bindi right on my forehead; lost in your thoughts, I end up sticking it to the side.
I'm not like I used to be, I've changed completely—I even talk sweetly to criminals now!
Truly, time just isn't enough to talk about you; the earth doesn't spin as slowly as it used to!
I ate plain idlis, completely forgetting the chutney, and made up a quick excuse when Mom asked!
Hey brave hero, you've taken over my entire heart! Your gaze strikes like a flashing sword, and my thoughts are always only about you!
It's time for us to zumba, it's time for us to bumba, it's time for us to yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
It's time for us to zumba, it's time for us to bumba, it's time for us to yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!
I picked up small scissors to trim my moustache, but lost in thoughts of your kiss, I nicked my nose!
Draped in a silk saree, I practiced ten times a day just to bow gracefully at your feet!
My strong body, built on healthy food—you suddenly make it limp and sway like a dry cornstalk!
My fiery nature that speaks bluntly and clashes head-on—you've tamed it and made me so calm!
Hey, look at me—whenever you look, my spirits soar! Next to you, even the moon looks dull, and my heart is completely full!
Yeah, everybody's gonna do it! (Male: Everybody listen to the samba, bumba, rumba, thumba-thumba! Everybody, it's time to move on in life and just say party!)

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This playful, high-energy track captures the joyful madness and charming clumsy moments of falling in love. The dual perspectives of the tough, fiery protagonist and his love interest highlight how romance radically transforms their personalities—turning a stern man gentle and clumsy, and making a composed girl delightfully distracted in her daily chores. Through humorous urban-colloquial metaphors, the song portrays love as a celebratory party that turns ordinary daily routines into comedic mishaps.

Chattiniya vittu puttu Idiliya thinnu putten Sattunu amma kekka
