Millions upon millions!
Let's bathe and play in it!
Male: The body gets all thrilled!
Hey girl, will a time like this ever come again?
Male: Stylish beauty!
Female: Hey, hold on tight!
Male: Pretty darling!
Female: Press and hold tight!
Male: Raise the flag!
Female: Hold it up high!
Now change the route a little!
Millions upon millions!
Let's bathe and play in it!
Male: The body gets all thrilled!
Hey girl, will a time like this ever come again?
The chilly breeze of Courtallam
is dancing around at the perfect time!
Now the mood is rising all on its own... ah...
Oh girl, watching you dance,
I will join in and dance along!
Now the path is changing because of you... ah...
Something stirs inside, something aches,
just from seeing you!
What was hidden inside is smiling outside,
now that I've joined with you!
This rushing passion won't let go,
it connects without even touching!
The heart pounds hard, going thump thump,
and pounces right on in a flash!
What never came before has arrived at last!
Let's celebrate!
From now on, it's our time!
Tie everyone down with stacks of cash!
Stay awake and sing gaana (local upbeat folk song) tunes!
If you let loose, it's all kinds of games!
Good fortune is always ours, man!
Why even think twice about this?
Once pleasure touches you, will it ever let go?
Times are changing, wealth is piling up in accounts,
live life just as you please!
The crowd is gathering and dancing away,
from now on, it's all good days!
Wear gold garlands all the time,
our life is right at the very top!
We have to see everything that exists,
don't leave even a little gap!
It will be great for everyone,
it will be full of joy!
From now on, it's our time!
Millions upon millions!
Let's bathe and play in it!
Male: The body gets all thrilled!
Hey girl, will a time like this ever come again?
Millions upon millions!
Let's bathe and play in it!
Male: The body gets all thrilled!
Hey girl, will a time like this ever come again?
Male: Stylish beauty!
Female: Hey, hold on tight!
Male: Pretty darling!
Female: Press and hold tight!
Male: Raise the flag!
Female: Hold it up high!
Now change the route a little!
