Come on, come on, come on, boys, come on!
O celebrate with joy, O brave lions!
O victorious ones, O vibrant spirits!
Let us sing songs of happiness,
Come together and dance the Bhangra,
Let the rhythm keep on going...
Our lion will surely win, aah...

Oho ooo...
With a curved, machete mustache,
And a sickle-sharp gaze,
Here comes Arumugam;
Whatever he touches, he smashes it!
A strong molar tooth,
A shiny golden tooth,
And the next one beside it,
Is a fierce lion's canine tooth—smashing!
Hey go on, if someone challenges me to a contest,
I'll call my shot and smash it!
If anyone comes to me calling me friend,
I'll give them my shoulder with all my heart!
Hey, strike the beat, strike it up!
Come on, my friend!
Chorus: Smashed it! Smashed it! Smashed it!
Male: Smashed it all!
With a curved, machete mustache,
And a sickle-sharp gaze,
Here comes Arumugam;
Whatever he touches, he smashes it!
A strong molar tooth,
A shiny golden tooth,
And the next one beside it,
Is a fierce lion's canine tooth—smashing!
Tharana naaney tharana naaney,
Tharana naaney tharana naaney, smashing!
Among the playful chatter,
Right in the middle of the girls,
Break open the bottle gourd,
And win the game in style!
Against all the confusing,
Nonsensical talk,
Firmly capture the fort,
And triumph with a smashing victory!
I am the grandson of brave Kattabomman, man!
Everything I touch turns into a smash hit!
My body is built like wild teakwood, man!
Hey, built strong like wild teakwood, man!
My whole style is totally smashing!
In all eight directions, my song's
Catchy tune will echo and rock!
Hey, strike the beat, strike it up!
Come on, my friend!
Chorus: Smashed it! Smashed it! Smashed it!
Male: Smashed it all!
With a curved, machete mustache,
And a sickle-sharp gaze,
Here comes Arumugam;
Whatever he touches, he smashes it!
A strong molar tooth,
A shiny golden tooth,
And the next one beside it,
Is a fierce lion's canine tooth—smashing!
Kiley kiley kiley kiley kiley kiley...
Kiley kiley kiley kiley kiley!
Come on, hey you, come on!
Step right up and face me, come on!
Hey take this, take this!
Hey take this, take this, take this!
Hey land a punch, land a punch!
Strike with a solid, heavy blow!
Antlers are the pride of a deer, man,
Tusks are the pride of an elephant, man,
O folks, my only true pride
Is boundless love—and that rocks!
A lion will roar in fury, man,
A leopard will pounce in a flash, man,
All the strength I carry
Is pure courage—and it smashes through!
On a boat caught in the drizzling rain,
Having an umbrella is awesome!
When you arrive at a well feeling thirsty,
Hey, when you arrive at a well feeling thirsty,
Having fresh water is awesome!
Time will set you on a ladder
And lift you to the heights—rocking all the way!
Hey, strike the beat, strike it up!
Come on, my friend!
Chorus: Smashed it! Ah, smashed it! Ah, smashed it!
Male: Ah, smashed it all!
With a curved, machete mustache,
And a sickle-sharp gaze,
Here comes Arumugam;
Whatever he touches, he smashes it!
A strong molar tooth,
A shiny golden tooth,
And the next one beside it,
Is a fierce lion's canine tooth—smashing!
Hey go on, if someone challenges me to a contest,
I'll call my shot and strike,
Chorus: Smashed!
If anyone comes to me calling me friend,
I'll give them my shoulder,
Chorus: Solid and true!
Hey, strike the beat, strike it up!
Come on, my friend!
Chorus: Smashed it! Ah, smashed it! Ah, smashed it!
Male: Ah, smashed it all!
