In the last house of Pillaiyar Temple Street,
there is no one to question these Pillaiyar boys!
In the last house of Pillaiyar Temple Street,
there is no one to question these Pillaiyar boys!
None of our hunts have ever failed so far.
Our fort has no flag and no set rules.
We know nothing of yesterday or tomorrow.
Once we start our fun, we won't let the town sleep!
...
In the last house of Pillaiyar Temple Street,
there is no one to question these Pillaiyar boys!
"Everyone is a citizen of this country"—
just saying that is not enough, man!
If we always want
to be truly loyal to our nation,
we have got to drink up, man!
Every day is a celebration!
Come on, join in and dance your heart out!
I am a carefree wild river, man,
you can never hold me back!
...
In the last house of Pillaiyar Temple Street,
there is no one to question these Pillaiyar boys!
Just like the sacred bulls
dedicated to the temple,
we roam freely across the whole town, man!
Even how to make a mistake
in the most perfect way,
we will teach you, man!
Life is meant to be lived!
Come on, if you're afraid, you're just a coward!
Hey, this entire world
belongs to everyone, don't ever forget it, man!
...
In the last house of Pillaiyar Temple Street,
there is no one to question these Pillaiyar boys!
