Puffed up in pride,
now trembling with fright,
the big shot who roamed so cocky,
Shaking violently,
losing his wits in panic,
he ran away terrified!
Hey, hey, hey...
Even if he returns in a raging fury,
again and again,
grab a cracker that bursts with a bang,
and light up the firecracker!
Hey, hey, hey...
Hey, hey, hey...
The scent of mother's milk
had barely left my lips at that young age,
yet you showed me no mercy,
with your heart of stone.
The days I pranced and played,
those times are now gone.
For the mother who gave birth to me,
life has turned into darkness.
Mother...
Don't prance, don't prance,
don't jump around so much!
It won't work, it won't work,
your games won't work anymore!
Get lost, man! Get lost!
Piece by piece,
I am going to stab and slice you,
the time to tear out your guts
has finally arrived!
Puffed up in pride,
now trembling with fright,
the big shot who roamed so cocky,
Shaking violently,
losing his wits in panic,
he ran away terrified!
Hey, hey, hey...
Even if he returns in a raging fury,
again and again,
grab a cracker that bursts with a bang,
and light up the firecracker!
You fool, you fool!
You brainless fool!
You fool, you fool!
You terrible fool!
Come on, man! Come on!
Into a beehive,
you threw handfuls of fire!
On this little child,
you showed no pity at all.
No pity, no pity, no pity!
No pity, no pity, no pity!
Puffed up in pride,
now trembling with fright,
the big shot who roamed so cocky,
Shaking violently,
losing his wits in panic,
he ran away terrified!
Hey, hey, hey...
Even if he returns in a raging fury,
again and again,
grab a cracker that bursts with a bang,
and light up the firecracker!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic and aggressive track from Kanchana 2 serves as an expression of vengeance and intimidation. It captures the spirit of a wronged, innocent young soul who suffered unjustly at a tender age ('milk smell not yet gone') and whose tragic end brought immense darkness to his mother's life. Now seeking retribution through possession, the protagonist warns the evil antagonist that his days of arrogance and mindless cruelty are over. The lyrics mix terrifying threats with celebratory defiance, using lively metaphors like bursting crackers and disturbing a beehive. It emphasizes the theme of ultimate justice where the once-feared villain is reduced to a trembling coward fleeing in absolute horror.
