This passion and speed won't abate,
It touches and unites without physical touch,
The heart thumping with a sudden beat,
Will leap up in an instant!

நான் ஆடுவேன் கூட சேர்ந்து
இப்ப வழி மாறுது உன்னால
What never arrived before has come now,
Let us celebrate!
From now on, it is our time!
ஏதோ தோனுது எதுவோ ஆகுது
உன்னப்பார்த்ததால
உள்ளே இருப்பது வெளியே சிரிக்குது

Sing gaana songs without sleeping,
If left unchecked, this is a variety of games,

Whatever comes our way must be enjoyed,
Don't leave even a small gap!
துட்டால நீ கட்டிப் போடு
தூங்காம கானா பாடு
விட்டா இது விதவித விளையாட்டு
For everyone, for good people,
And for those who are fully drunk and happy,
From now on, it's definitely our time!...
எப்போதுமே யோகம் தாண்டா
இதுக்கு ஒரு யோசனை ஏண்டா
இப்போ சுகம் தொட்டா விடுமாடா
