As the rooster crows cock-a-doodle-doo
And the crested rooster breaks into a dance,
I, Murugan, have arrived to dance and celebrate!
Chorus: Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
To the folk rhythm of thandanakura,
With energetic street-dance moves,
Here stands your friend Murugan!
Chorus: Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
About what will happen tomorrow,
I have no worries.
Not even a single rupee
Is saved up in my pocket.
The wind does not blow
Waiting for an auspicious hour.
Trying to live preaching morals
Is just way too much trouble!
I have no worries at all,
None at all, my dear buddy!
I am a king, a king
Who wears no crown upon his head!
As the rooster crows cock-a-doodle-doo
And the crested rooster breaks into a dance,
I, Murugan, have arrived to dance and celebrate!
Chorus: Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
Even if we just look, they call it attitude,
Even if we drink milk, they accuse us of drinking liquor,
Even if we win with pure guts, they call it luck,
Even if we hit a six, they say it was a duck!
The fragrance of jasmine
Always wafts within our hearts.
Not at any time
Are we ever, ever bad people.
Full of lively fun and boundless love,
Generally speaking,
We are a little different.
Living life without losing heart,
We are a breed of our own.
Though if you ask for a loan, we will run away!
Chorus: Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
We speak and laugh without putting on masks,
We buy a single cutting tea and share it together.
Once we hang out with friends, we forget our homes,
Together in a gang, we beat the folk drum!
Just like little birds,
Carefree across the streets,
We wander all day long—
That is our full-time job!
Draped in a silk saree,
The girl who walks past us—
How to win her heart,
That is all our brain keeps scheming!
Without fail,
We will stand on every street corner.
As her rightful groom,
We will write our heart in her name!
As the rooster crows cock-a-doodle-doo
And the crested rooster breaks into a dance,
I, Murugan, have arrived to dance and celebrate!
Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
To the folk rhythm of thandanakura,
With energetic street-dance moves,
Here stands your friend Murugan!
Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
Rajini Murugan... gan gan gan...
I have no worries at all,
None at all, my dear buddy!
I am a king, a king
Who wears no crown upon his head!
