Life is like our,
Loose baggy trousers,
Breeze blows through coolly!
But sometimes when we tie a lungi,
It just feels itchy and uneasy,
However, ride a bike wearing that same lungi,
It gives a next-level exhilarating feel!

If you have sound/stereo,
If death is near,
If you place the tape recorder, it will rock till the end!
If you hold moral opinions, move aside,
If you catch a cold, you must clear the fuzziness!
தரமா கெலிச்சு ஏரியா முழுக்க

Dumb weaklings who speak big,
Should run away out of fear seeing us!
