Oh... Maami...
Oh... Maami!
My head is spinning, uncle!
My head is spinning!
My hips are shaking, uncle!
My hips are shaking!
My head is spinning, uncle!
My head is spinning!
My hips are shaking, uncle!
My hips are shaking!
Just like a Thanjavur doll,
my body keeps spinning around!
Hey, without knowing top from bottom,
this whole world is dancing!
Hey Ramasamy, hey Kuppusamy...
Hey Ramasamy, Kuppusamy,
Hey Ramasamy, Kuppusamy,
Kandasamy, Munusamy,
What kind of gods are these, oh friend!
Hahaha!
My head is spinning, uncle!
My head is spinning!
My hips are shaking, uncle!
My hips are shaking!
...
Kick up the dust, rock the floor!
Kick up the dust and make it fly!
Little boy, hey little boy!
Don't worry that you don't have legs,
you have your hands, so rock the show!
Little boy, hey little boy!
Why do you need influential backing, buddy?
We have God by our side, right with us!
Why do you need your father's wealth?
Look, our hard work is our real wealth!
Don't step aside, don't stand in the corner,
come on, come on, you can do it!
Buddy... hahaha!
My head is spinning, uncle!
My head is spinning!
My hips are shaking, uncle!
My hips are shaking!
...
Look here, man, he's cursing God!
Even after God gave him everything,
he made a complaint against God!
This boy did!
Male: Which boy?
Male: Hey, this boy!
Chasing after money,
forgetting love and affection,
he threw his own mother out on the street!
That boy did!
Male: Which boy, buddy?
Male: That boy!
You too will get old, buddy,
and your own son will screw you over!
Life is only for a few days, my friend!
If you've got guts, beat your chest and show it!
No need for empty buildup and false pride,
there's always someone mightier out there!
You said it perfectly, brother!
Thanks, granny... hahaha!
My head is spinning, uncle!
My head is spinning!
My hips are shaking, uncle!
My hips are shaking!
Just like a Thanjavur doll,
my body keeps spinning around!
Hey, without knowing top from bottom,
this whole world is dancing!
Hey Ramasamy, hey Kuppusamy...
Hey Ramasamy, Kuppusamy,
Hey Ramasamy, Kuppusamy,
Kandasamy, Munusamy,
What kind of gods are these, oh friend!
Hahaha!
Muruga!
