Come, storm in and plunder!
Hey… Thakkida… (2)
Leap across and come, brave warrior!
Come, take shelter here for a moment, and go!
Before your might and your word,
who can dare to stand straight against you?
Hey… Thakkida… (2)
Buried deep within the fertile soil,
heaped and tucked away,
accept this sacred pledge!
Trample over them,
subdue the evil spirits,
and wash away our misery!
Hey… Thakkida…
Na nana nana nana
Hey!
If you stand by the word you gave,
come clash head-on and seize it back!
Standing solitary in our hearts,
come deliver true justice!
Attacking us from every corner,
all these plotted conspiracies—
must be struck down and cut to pieces,
come and restore our lives!
Is it an endless hunger?
Is it an untouchable rivalry?
If it turns on you, it will devour you;
if it crosses the line, it will trap you!
Known to no direction,
a brand-new path is born!
Like a pot boiling over,
come, rise and come!
Come, storm in and plunder!
O champion who sweeps and strikes all around,
raising the sword for our sake,
cross into your territory and come, come, hey!
............
We performed sacred rituals in disguise,
come like a wild river, you!
Wild and unstoppable, start the hunt!
You must take the lead, come surging forward!
Let kings of heaven, tricksters, and sorcerers
come down and beg—rise up!
All your kin trust in you alone,
push yourself up and rise, rise up!
He is going to rule and shake everything,
he is going to lock the evil spirits away,
and the mocking crowd dancing around—
he will watch them and tear them to pieces!
