Come inside to rock and shine

This is six lakh twenty-eight (600028)
Visalakshi Thottam
Run fast in the half-sized ground
Royapuram Rockers are ready, buddy
Move aside, run away, collide with the shots
A mole-eyed aunt
A young girl wearing a midi skirt
Never missed even a single One Day match
Here is the thirst for the World Cup
Speed pulsing inside our hearts
Even if father tries to say something
The thirst for cricket doesn't fade
Faith that they will win
Is like our strong elephant trunk
Why do we need frequent fights now?
When it is time to hit the cricket ball
Why indulge in physical brawls?
No need for unnecessary trouble, buddy, run home
வேர்ல்டு கப்ப ஜெயிக்க போறோம்
கை கொடுக்க உள்ள வா
வீடு தோறும் சச்சின் டிராவிட்
கலக்க நீயும் உள்ள வா
ரோட்டுல எதிரிய அடிக்கலாம் உள்ள வா
கிரவுண்டுல நீயும் நான் போகலாம் உள்ள வா
If a test match is telecast on TV
The whole town sits in front with rising frenzy
A Sehwag or Dhoni will be born in our neighborhood
Hey, if a spin ball is bowled, he will smash it apart
A person skinny like a slipper
Comes and gives coaching wonderfully
வேர்ல்டு கப்ப ஜெயிக்க போறோம்
கை கொடுக்க உள்ள வா
வீடு தோறும் சச்சின் டிராவிட்
கலக்க நீயும் உள்ள வா
On the road, let us beat the enemy, come inside
On the ground, you and I can clash, come inside
இது சிக்ஸ் லாக் இருவத்தி எட்டு
விசாலாக்ஷி தோட்டம்
ஆர் ஏ புரம் கிரவுண்டுல
அடிடா ஜூட்டு
ராயபுரம் ராக்கர்ஸ் ரெடிடா மச்சி
ஓரம்போ ஓடி போ
ஷார்ட்ஸோட மோதிக்கோ
மச்சகன்னு மாமி ஒன்னு
மிடி போட்ட கன்னி பொண்ணு
ஒன் டே மேட்ச் கூடத்தான் மிஸ் பண்ணல
வேர்ல்ட் கப்புக்குள்ள தாகம் இங்கு
டிக்கிக்குள்ள வேகம்
அப்பா என்னவோ சொல்ல போனா
தாகம் மறக்கல
ஜெயிச்சிடுவாங்கன்னு நம்பிக்கை
எங்களோட தும்பிக்கை
அடிக்கடி சண்டை இப்போ நமக்கெதுக்கு
கிரிக்கெட் பந்தைஅடிக்கும் நேரத்துல
அடிதடி எதுக்கு
வீண் வம்பு வேணாம் மச்சி ஓடு வீட்டுக்கு
The youthful age rising at every turn
Looking around all side streets, nothing here is old
Plant the wicket pole and check, check the circular FM in hand
Watch me come again and again to hit, this is brand new
At the doorstep of every single home
That is the rule for matches played on the middle of the road
Sponsor money for taking a wicket
We are going to buy a ticket
Watch me hit so hard that sparks fly, that is right
Forget what happened, accomplish what you envisioned
Our team is the Sharks, do not clash with us in vain
டிவியில்ல டெஸ்ட் மேட்ச்சு
டெலிகேஸ்ட்டு..... என்றாலே
ஊர் மொத்தம் ஒ....ஓ....
வெறி ஏறி ஒ....ஓ....உக்காரும் முன்னால
பேட்டையில ஷேவாக் தோனி பொறப்பான்
அட ஸ்பின் பால் போட்டா வெளுப்பான்
அந்த சாப்பல் போல ஆளு
வந்து கோச்சிங் தந்தா தூளு
We will do what we say, and say what we do
This is our area, do not enter inside...
Chennai six lakh twenty eight
ரோட்டுல எதிரிய அடிக்கலாம் உள்ள வா
கிரவுண்டுல நீயும் நான் மோதலாம் உள்ள வா
அரைகுறை ஓரத்துல கெளம்புர வயசு
அக்கம் பக்கம் சுத்தி பக்கம் ஒன்னும் இல்ல பழசு
ஸ்டம்ப நீயும் நட்டு பாரு பேட்ட கையில் எப். எம் பாரு
வந்து வந்து அடிப்பேன் பாரு இது புதுசு
வீட்டுக்கு வீட்டுக்கு வீட்டுக்கு வீடு வாசப்படி
நடக்கும் நடு ரோட்டுக்கு மேட்ச்சு அத்துப்புடி
ஸ்பான்சர் காசு விக்கெட்டு
வாங்க போறோம் டிக்கெட்டு
தெறிக்க தரிக்க அடிப்பேன் பாரு அது சரி
நடந்ததை மறந்திரு நினைச்சதை முடிச்சிடு
எங்க டீமு ஷார்க்ஸ் வீணா மோதாத
சொல்லுறதை செய்வோம்
செய்யுறதை சொல்வோம்
இது எங்க ஏரியா உள்ள வராத....
