Kanagaa kannala thaan
Kasaa musaa solli thoraa
Azhagaa anaamathaa
Sollaabattha ali thara
Pilakaa chinna pulla
Pallakka thaan thookiduraaan
Periyaa pangaaliyo
Palla katti pinna varan
Kanagaa kannala thaan
Kasaa musaa solli thoraa
Azhagaa anaamathaa
Sollaabattha ali thara
Pilakaa chinna pulla
Pallakka thaan thookiduraaan
Periyaa pangaaliyo
Palla katti pinna varan
Veeram vengaayam ennaando veenu
Velicham koranjaakka ellam mannu
Olagam onnakkum podhu udama maane
Kadugu siruthaaalum kaaram dhaaney
Dhaagam vandhaakkaa
Indha oore rendaagum
Ada moagam vandhaakka
Andha rendum onnaagum
Dhaegam kandaakaa

Oru vaegam kondaakka
Pudhu raagam undaagum
Kalla petti paathu kanakka poattu
Sillaraya saetthe thalaraadhe
Kambaliya poatthu manasa aatthu
Kaiyyi rennda koatthaa kuluraadhe
Naan nimundhaa yaeni valanja nyaani
Nee thelijaalum puriyaadhu raani thaeni

Male : Haan ..podu..okay
Palla katti pinna varan
Float like pattam puchi
Sting like a mothatha
We’ll bring you the pain
Chennati city to US atti
All the machis be knowing
Raja’s name dei
Thats why we getting it litty
Aye the party be empty without me
Wake up enthri enthri enthri
Takkunu kick eri vachen katcheri
No one come close to me ain’t no comparing me
Mookula verala vekara ability
Yenna avolothanaa…
Humming : ……………..
Humming : …………..
Male : Bayangaramana entry if i touch it’s vetri
I am feeling so good today
I been so patiently waiting to blow
So i’m making a toast
I am making it rain
So many kanmani un smile ah sindhadi
Male : Ohh we aint just dippin our toes
Ohhh we diving deep flipping the flows
Coast to coast we always the rippin shows
A me photoku pottum da pose
With her eyes alone, Kanaka
whispers sweet teasing words.
So beautifully, without any fuss,
she gives sweet, unspoken trouble.
The young lad, clever and quick,
lifts the palanquin on his shoulders,
while the big rival
grits his teeth and follows behind.
With her eyes alone, Kanaka
whispers sweet teasing words.
So beautifully, without any fuss,
she gives sweet, unspoken trouble.
The young lad, clever and quick,
lifts the palanquin on his shoulders,
while the big rival
grits his teeth and follows behind.
Bravery and big talk are totally useless here.
Once the light fades, everything turns to dust.
When the world judges you, self-respect is your only wealth, my dear.
Even if a mustard seed is tiny, its spice is still strong!
When thirst strikes,
this whole town will split in two.
And when passion strikes,
those two halves become one.
Once you see this body,
your sorrow breaks into pieces.
If you catch the rhythm and speed,
a brand new melody will be born.
Calculating and staring at the cash box,
don't wear yourself out counting loose change.
Wrap yourself in a blanket and calm your mind;
if you hold both hands, the cold won't touch you.
When I stand tall, I'm a ladder; when I bend, I'm a wise sage.
Even if you clear your head, you won't get it, my queen bee.
Kanaka has her own unique style.
With her eyes alone, Kanaka
whispers sweet teasing words.
So beautifully, without any fuss,
she gives sweet, unspoken trouble.
The young lad, clever and quick,
lifts the palanquin on his shoulders,
while the big rival
Male: Haan... drop the beat... okay!
grits his teeth and follows behind.
Float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee,
we'll bring you the pain!
From Chennai city to a hangout in the US,
all the homies know
Raja's name, bro!
That's why we're making it lit!
Hey, the party is empty without me,
wake up, get up, get up, get up!
The buzz kicked in fast, and I kicked off the show!
No one comes close to me, there's no comparing me,
I have the skill to leave everyone amazed!
What, is that all...?
Humming: ...
Humming: ...
Male: A killer entry—whatever I touch turns into victory!
I'm feeling so good today,
I've been waiting so patiently to blow up!
So I'm raising a toast,
I'm making it rain!
So many darlings around—go on, flash your smile!
Male: Oh, we aren't just dipping our toes,
we're diving deep and flipping the flow!
Coast to coast, we're always rocking every show,
Hey, we struck a pose for the photo, man!

Through folk maxims—such as mustard seeds retaining their spice despite their size—the song celebrates self-assurance, grit, and street wisdom in the face of life's unpredictable turns.
