Machi open the bottle
Idhu ambaani parambara

Endrachu nam vaazhvu cricketu
Ippo onbothu kiragamum onnaga iruku
Oh ho nu nam jaathagam

Odama run eduthom

Buddy, open the bottle!
This is the Ambani lineage,
for five or six generations,
our joy will keep waxing like the moon!
If we just say "pour down" once,
again and again,
won't it rain money?
We are the steps climbing to success,
our whole life has turned into a winning cricket match!
Now all nine planets have aligned in our favor,
our horoscope is shining at the very top!
We won without even playing, man!
We won without breaking a sweat, man!
We scored runs without even running,
we just sat back casually and took the win!
This is the Ambani lineage,
for five or six generations,
our joy will keep waxing like the moon!
If we just say "pour down" once,
again and again,
won't it rain money?
Hey, is it just one or two?
Desires surge whenever I see you,
standing chill like a sweet glass of Jigarthanda!
If you agree to do
a little mischief with me,
I will sit softly on flowers if you come by!
Even to the Lord of the Seven Hills,
if God himself needs money,
we are ready to give Him a loan!
Even Kubera (the god of wealth)
will look like a pauper,
and before our massive fortune,
like a cheap cup of roadside tea
will look all the treasures
stored up in heaven!
Hey, it's burning up inside me,
you've given me a sweet ache of desire!
Serve me some food, girl,
and don't shout if I touch you!
Whether Rama rules the land
or Ravana rules it,
I don't have a single worry!
Hey, I am the undisputed king
of my own heart, man!
Go and buy a water jug made of pure gold, boys!
I will give you whatever you ask for,
so ask for whatever boons you want, man!
Hey friend,
a fish needs water to live,
and I need beer to live!
Pour some, pour some more!
Friend, right now,
always, and at all times,
the wind keeps blowing
straight in our direction!
I'll make hay while the sun shines,
and change my ways when the right time comes!
Even if I get high,
even if I go over the limit,
from my chosen path,
my feet will never stray!
My tune is completely different, man!
My route is always one of a kind!
What my real move was,
the whole town will soon talk about it all day long!
This is the Ambani lineage,
for five or six generations,
our joy will keep waxing like the moon!
If we just say "pour down" once,
again and again,
won't it rain money?
We are the steps climbing to success,
our whole life has turned into a winning cricket match!
Now all nine planets have aligned in our favor,
our horoscope is shining at the very top!
We won without even playing, man!
We won without breaking a sweat, man!
We scored runs without even running,
we just sat back casually and took the win!

The song captures a spirit of carefree victory, lavish excess, and bold confidence. The protagonists revel in their effortless success, comparing their newly acquired wealth to the legendary legacy of Ambani and claiming that even celestial beings or wealthy deities like Kubera would pale in comparison to their fortune.
