I don't want anything, only a friend

A friend is enough, everything else is a waste

Friendship is like the holy Ganges river

If you believe in it, it is a superpower

Half-baked, good-for-nothing waste of food

That is the nickname our parents gave us

Who is the captain, who is the master?

We will never cower before the whole town

Look at the moment my friend joined with me

We shifted our life straight into fifth gear..

Together we made a single plan

This bond will last till the very end..

I don't want anything, only a friend..

Ya ya ya ya

A friend is enough, everything else is a waste..

Ya ya ya ya

Friendship is like the holy Ganges river..

Ya ya ya ya

If you believe in it, it is a superpower

All our sadness will run away..

Male: Yo yo, we don't care

Male: Everything around us turns sweet and lively..

Male: Ha ha, we don't care

Thakkida thakkida thakkida

Thakkida thaakida

Thakkida thakkida thakkida

Thakkida thaakida thaakida

Half-baked, good-for-nothing waste of food

That is the nickname our parents gave us

Who is the captain, who is the master?

We will never cower before the whole town

Look at the moment my friend joined with me

We shifted our life straight into fifth gear..

Together we made a single plan

This bond will last till the very end..

Ya ya ya ya.. ya ya ya ya..

Ya ya ya ya.. ya ya ya ya..

I don't want anything, only a friend

A friend is enough, everything else is a waste

Friendship is like the holy Ganges river

If you believe in it, it is a superpower
