Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo...
Tarraake tararraake
Strike hard and smash it in!
Tarraake tararraake
Don't you crack jokes here...
Check in and show your skills!
We won't back down and scatter, man!
Even if you score from a corner kick,
We won't be fazed at all, man!
Strike it hard and pass the ball,
The scene is totally set, man!
Even if you bend it in and wipe us out,
We will never lose, man!
Come on, man, come on, come, come!
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo...
Dheemtha dheemtha thanaa
Dheemtha dheemtha thanaa...
...
Even if the boundary line is torn,
We will stitch it up and take the field!
The moment the toss is done,
In our very own style,
We'll call ourselves Neymar and Messi!
Shoulder to shoulder, we will settle the rivalry!
We'll let you run around and then make you sit down,
We'll make your whole team run and tremble in fear!
We don't speak posh uptown slang,
We're local boys, we don't care for high-class airs!
A spark in the eye, swagger in the feet,
We'll show you what we're made of!
A hard stare on the face, sharpness in our words,
We'll stoke the fire of our hunger!
Hit them hard, unleash the fear!
We'll smash through and tear them down!
Hands ready to block, lungis folded up high,
We'll rip everything to shreds!
Come on, man, come on, come, come!
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo...
We'll show you what we're made of!
We'll show you what we're made of!
We'll lift our passion high!
We'll lift our passion high!
We'll smash through and tear them down!
We'll smash through and tear them down!
We'll rip everything to shreds!
We'll rip everything to shreds...
