Disco is soaked deep inside my body
Tempo is running in my veins and nerves
When I dance, this town and the world swoon
When you dance, your hands and legs shiver!
நான் பொறந்தது ராஜமுந்திரி......
என்ன சுத்திதான் நூறு சுந்தரி

My beautiful lady, stylish girl!
Don't jump around needlessly, hey, your vanity won't work!
Watch me break that unbending waist of yours!

The male singer boasts about his charm, swagger, and musical rhythm, claiming to originate from Rajahmundry and having women enchanted by him.
