One, two, three, guys!
Come at us if you've got the guts!
We are fighting roosters!
Go ahead and pick a fight!
If a fight starts, jump right into the ring!
Clash with us and walk away bruised!
Look at the folk street dance we put on,
A crowd gathers along the low wall,
Just like that, it twists you up with style!
She is coming, coming right behind,
The jingle of her bangles arrives before her!
She came, she came all on her own,
She will trap you with her eyes!
Oh my goodness, look at her rock it!
He is coming, coming right behind,
Bringing trouble right along with him!
He came, he came all on his own,
He will scorch you with his eyes!
Dance your heart out and throw your hands up!
Lai lai lai laiyo hose
Lai lai lai laiyo hose
Humkumkum aaha
Humkumkum aaha
Hey hey hey hey
Lai lai lai laiyo hose
Lai lai lai laiyo hose
Laiyose laiyose
Laiyose laiyose laiyose
Your dance and my dance,
When they unite, the whole town gathers to watch!
Haiya haiya
Male: When a roaring, lively song starts playing,
The dance and music lift you off your feet on their own!
He stood strong and struck hard,
He burst in like an explosion,
What more is there to say?
Male: While the boys celebrate,
And the youthful girl dances,
Let the young blood heat up!
She is coming, coming right behind,
The jingle of her bangles arrives before her!
She came, she came all on her own,
She will trap you with her eyes!
Oh my goodness, look at her rock it!
He is coming, coming right behind,
Bringing trouble right along with him!
He came, he came all on his own,
He will scorch you with his eyes!
Dance your heart out and throw your hands up!
Come on
Yo yo yo yo yoyo yoyo yoyo
If someone speaks out of turn,
The mouth will chew betel leaves and nuts,
And let the tongue strike sharp!
Female: He stepped forward like a raging forest fire,
Our guy could light a bidi (thin Indian hand-rolled cigarette) with his spark!
Hey Saroja,
Just by talking like this and that,
You are setting the depth of my heart on fire!
Female: Whether enemy or friend,
No one cares about that here, put your arm around me if you want!
She is coming, coming right behind,
The jingle of her bangles arrives before her!
She came, she came all on her own,
She will trap you with her eyes!
Oh my goodness, look at her rock it!
He is coming, coming right behind,
Bringing trouble right along with him!
He came, he came all on his own,
He will scorch you with his eyes!
Dance your heart out and throw your hands up!
One, two, three, guys!
Come at us if you've got the guts!
We are fighting roosters!
Go ahead and pick a fight!
If a fight starts, jump right into the ring!
Clash with us and walk away bruised!
Look at the folk street dance we put on,
A crowd gathers along the low wall,
Just like that, it twists you up with style!
She is coming, coming right behind,
The jingle of her bangles arrives before her!
She came, she came all on her own,
She will trap you with her eyes!
Oh my goodness, look at her rock it!
He is coming, coming right behind,
Bringing trouble right along with him!
He came, he came all on his own,
He will scorch you with his eyes!
Dance your heart out and throw your hands up!
