Birth and death, for all of us humans,
are common to everyone.
That is like a complicated algebra problem,
why should we worry about that story?
Birth and death, for all of us humans,
are common to everyone.
That is like a complicated algebra problem,
why should we worry about that story?
When the New Year arrives,
just to celebrate,
we bought some drinks.
And the snack to go with it is crispy murukku!
Gulp down the first half inside!
As long as we are alive, happily,
let's live our lives to the fullest before we depart, man!
Birth and death, for all of us humans,
are common to everyone.
That is like a complicated algebra problem,
why should we worry about that story?
Sticking colourful paper decorations,
hanging up a star overhead,
once the clock strikes twelve,
cutting the cake to celebrate!
When we pop wheelies on our bikes...
Aaa... aaa... haa...
When we pop wheelies on our bikes...
our whole city should watch in stunned awe!
Parks, beaches, temples, and lakes—
after roaming everywhere around town,
just to look at a gorgeous girl,
and catch her eye, man,
it is a huge struggle just to wish her!
Even the ordinary girls,
on that day alone, man,
will show off and flirt with us!
Birth and death, for all of us humans,
are common to everyone.
That is like a complicated algebra problem,
why should we worry about that story?
When the New Year arrives,
just to celebrate,
we bought some drinks.
And the snack to go with it is crispy murukku!
Gulp down the first half inside!
Swearing he will never touch a drink again,
he will run off on the first day of the month,
but by that very evening at the bar,
he will be dancing wildly out of control!
Fights over caste and religion...
Aaa... aa... haaa...
Fights over caste and religion...
we truly do not want any of that!
Jesus, Allah, and Murugan—
they are all one and the same to us, man!
Whether it is disco dance or dappankuthu (energetic street folk dance),
we will rock the floor and dance with all our might!
Yet this year, they have stopped us
by tying our hands with restrictions!
Birth and death, for all of us humans,
are common to everyone.
That is like a complicated algebra problem,
why should we worry about that story?
When the New Year arrives,
just to celebrate,
we bought some drinks.
And the snack to go with it is crispy murukku!
Gulp down the first half inside!
