Chorus :420
Old silk dhotis,
Silk skirts,
Even if they're torn, no problem, ma'am!
Coming right to your doorstep,
For Kanchipuram mill work,
We are buying them!
Come on, ma'am, come on!
Once this cart leaves, it won't return!
Once the time passes, you won't get this money!
Old silk sarees! (Dialogue)
420 (Trickster)!
Male: Old silk sarees!
Chorus: 420!
Male: Old silk sarees!
Hey, find a house!
Hey, plan your way in!
Hey, make a massive score!
Hey, who is there to question us?
Who, who, who, who?
A broomstick,
An iron box,
Pots, pans, a radio,
A plastic basket, torn clothes—
Whatever you find, swipe it!
Keeping an eye in all eight directions,
Learn the art of stealing!
If you hear a siren in the distance,
Just make an escape!
420!
Male: Old silk sarees!
Chorus: 420!
Come on, buddy, let's swipe some loot!
Let's go on a hot hunt!
Chorus: 420!
Hey, find a house!
Hey, plan your way in!
Go, go, go, go!
Hey, every town
Is our own hometown!
Hey, every house
Is our own home!
Tie up the bundle of loot!
Hey, every town
Is our own hometown!
Hey, every house
Is our own home!
Hey, to become a Bill Gates...
No need, no need!
It's enough if we pay the electric bill!
No need for fancy food, no need!
Ration rice is plenty, man!
420!
Come on, buddy, let's swipe some loot!
Chorus: 420!
Male: Let's go on a hot hunt!
Chorus: 420!
Hey, find a house!
Hey, plan your way in!
Hey, make a massive score!
Hey, who is there to question us?
Who, who, who, who?
A broomstick,

Pots, pans, a radio,
A plastic basket, torn clothes—
Whatever you find, swipe it!
Keeping an eye in all eight directions,
Learn the art of stealing!
If you hear a siren in the distance,
Just make an escape!

Beyond the translation
