Ah, chasing after money,
we run around like mad ghosts!
Holding butter right in our hand,
we go searching for ghee!
It's just a piece of ordinary paper,
but some people run crazy for it!
"Oh, cash, dough, loot!"
so many names people give it!
Caught red-handed, the naughty partner!
Caught red-handed, the naughty partner!
Hey, without the right face,
nothing gets done in this town!
Scratching around with both hands,
inside an Audi car!
Without the right face,
nothing gets done in this town!
Scratching around with both hands,
inside an Audi car!
Cash, dough, money—slip your hand in slickly!
We can live with swagger, we can live with class!
It's a wicked town,
just look all around!
I don't care,
if we make a score, split the share!
Hey, without the right face,
nothing gets done in this town!
Scratching around with both hands,
inside an Audi car!
Working in an IT firm,
a decent, smart guy—
using my educated brain,
I'm going to pull off a forgery!
We'll spot the target and tick them off,
plan it out and loot the cash!
Even if it's Ambani himself,
we'll fool him and fleece him dry!
We'll spot the target and tick them off,
plan it out and loot the cash!
Even if it's Ambani himself,
we'll fool him and fleece him dry!
The rich get richer, man!
Richer, man!
The poor get poorer, man!
Poorer, man!
Hey, the laddu from the sweet shop,
it's just the boondi you pay for!
Swaggering and showing off,
pulling trick after trick,
pure sweet luxury!
Without the right face,
nothing gets done in this town!
Scratching around with both hands,
inside an Audi car!
Multi-coloured currency notes,
a Gopinath-style suit coat,
wear it with style,
and rake in the cash!
It's a wicked town,
just look all around!
I don't care,
if we make a score, split the share!
Without the right face,
nothing gets done in this town!
Scratching around with both hands,
inside an Audi car!
Hey da nana na na da nana na

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic Gaana song offers a satirical commentary on modern urban life, the pursuit of wealth, and society's obsession with superficial appearances. Using high-energy Madras slang, the lyrics poke fun at how money controls human behavior and social status, pointing out the irony that even educated professionals resort to trickery to get rich quick.
