கோடி இரவு கோடி நிலவு
வந்து போகும் இங்கே
கேள்வி கேட்க யாரும் இல்லை
கீதை ஏது இங்கே
Crores of nights, crores of moons
Come and go here
There is nobody here to question anything
What holy scripture matters here?
கோதை ரதியும்
கோப்பை மதுவும்
போதை ஏற்றும் இங்கே
எந்த விதியும் எந்த முறையும்
தீண்டிடாதிங்கே
Lovely women like Goddess Rathi
And cups of fine wine
Raise intoxication in this place
No rules or regulations
Can ever touch or restrict this place
வேட்டை இது சுதந்திர வேட்டை
கோட்டை இது ஒருவனின் கோட்டை

பெண்ணோடு ஆணுக்கும் வேட்டை
This hunt is a completely free hunt
This fortress is the fortress of one man
For man with woman
And woman with man, it is a playful hunt

பாதி உடையில் ஜோதி மலர்கள்
ஊரில் உலவும் எங்கும்
நுாறு மலர்கள் ஓடி வந்து
மார்பில் பூப்பறிக்கும்
Pairs of flower-like maidens in revealing clothes
Roam around everywhere in this city
A hundred flower-like maidens come running
To pluck flowers from your chest
ஏழு தெருவில் நீங்கள் நடந்தால்
கோடி ரூபாய் கொட்டும்
கோடி வரவு கோடி செலவு
உங்களின் திட்டம்
If you walk along the seven streets
Crores of rupees shower down
Crores coming in, crores going out
Is your master plan
இல்லை எதிரிகள் உனக்கில்லை
எல்லை தோல்விகள் உனக்கில்லை
முத்தங்கள் செய்கின்ற சத்தங்கள்
எப்போதும் கீதம்
No, you have no enemies at all
There is no boundary or defeat for you
The sound made by sweet kisses
Is ever-present music here

The lyrics depict him as an undisputed leader who controls everything around him, possessing both immense wealth and influence so vast that 'the town is in his hand and the sky is in his pocket.' The song portrays an extravagant, lawless sanctuary filled with music, wine, and beauty where no external rules apply.
