கிங் ஆப் சென்னை கூட வரும்
படைகளை பாரு
வெற்றி எல்லாம் என்னை தேடி வரும்
ரகசியம் கேளு
King of Chennai, look at the army coming with me.
Look at the troops.
All success comes searching for me.
Listen to the secret.
டேய் ஜீன்சினை கிழித்து அணியும்
டேய் சோள்ஜெர்கள் நாங்கள்
டேய் எதிரிகள் குறுக்கில் வந்தால்
டேய் நொறுக்குவோம்
யே யே யே யே யே யே
Hey, we wear ripped jeans.
Hey, we are soldiers.
Hey, if enemies come in our way,
Hey, we will crush them!
Yaeyaeyaeyaeyaeyae

King of Chennai, look at the army coming with me.
Look at the troops.
All success comes searching for me.
Listen to the secret ..yohh
விழிகளில் இருக்கும் காந்தங்கள்
பிகர்-களை இழுக்கும்
விரலை அசைத்து சொடக்கு போட்டாலே
இடுப்புகள் துடிக்கும்
The magnets in my eyes,
Pull the girls towards me.
If I snap my fingers with a wave of my hand,
Hips start swaying and dancing.
கேட் வாக் போகும் மயில் கூட்டம்
எனக்கு பின்னால் நடக்கும்
மாடர்ன் கிளிகள் என்னை கண்டால்
சிறகடிக்கும் சிலிர்க்கும்
டேய்
A crowd of peacock-like beauties catwalks,
Walking right behind me.
When modern parrots (girls) see me,
They flutter their wings and smile.
Hey!
கிங் ஆப் சென்னை கூட வரும்
படைகளை பாரு
வெற்றி எல்லாம் என்னை தேடி வரும்
ரகசியம் கேளு..யோ...
King of Chennai, look at the army coming with me.
Look at the troops.
All success comes searching for me.
Listen to the secret ..yohhh..
ஆஹா.....ஹா...ஆஆ...

Ahaaa…aaa…ahaaa……
Ahaaa….aaa..ahaaaa…
காதினில் கடுக்கன் அணிந்த்திருப்போம்
ஸ்டைல்களை படைப்போம் ஹேய்
வலைகள் விரித்து வைத்து இன்டர்நெட்டில்
பிகர்-களை மடிப்போம்
We wear stud earrings in our ears,
We create new styles, hi!
Casting nets on the internet,
We attract and impress girls.
இதுதான் இதுதான் புது பேஷன்
தினமும் புதுமை பிறக்கும்
வருடம் முழுதும் லவ் சீசன்
இங்கு இருக்கும் இனிக்கும்
டேய்
This is, this is the new fashion,
Novelty is born every single day.
All year long, it is the love season,
It exists here and is sweet.
