My aim never misses, this tiger never loses!
It fears nothing and never lets an enemy go!
Shall I challenge you to a contest?
Shall I dance along with it too?
Shall I challenge you to a contest?
Shall I dance along with it too?
I am the mighty champion here!
Yes, I am the capable one!
I am the mighty champion here!
Yes, I am the capable one!
My aim never misses, this tiger never loses!
It fears nothing and never lets an enemy go!
Shall I challenge you to a contest?
Shall I dance along with it too?
Shall I challenge you to a contest?
Shall I dance along with it too?

Chorus: ...
Male: ...
To swoop down and snatch a little chick,
An eagle circles in the sky.
Seeing that, a wild cat
Makes a counterplan of its own.
Even before the eagle strikes,
The cat will snatch it away!
Even before the eagle strikes,
Haha, the cat will snatch it away!
I know magical tricks, I understand clever schemes!
Hey hey hey hey hey!
I burn to win, and I achieve whatever I set out to do!
Hey hey hey hey hey!
My aim never misses, this tiger never loses!
It fears nothing and never lets an enemy go!
Shall I challenge you to a contest?
Shall I dance along with it too?
Shall I challenge you to a contest?
Shall I dance along with it too?
...
With a graceful body shining like a golden boat,
The queen arrived in a grand procession.
Taking sparkling diamonds,
And setting them in her eyes,
She poured intoxication through her gaze!
Because the bystander's wife
Was carried away by someone who arrived yesterday,
Because the bystander's wife
Was carried away by someone who arrived yesterday,
There is a story like that, and it is happening right here!
Hey hey hey hey hey!
It looks for gullible ears to fool with its tricks!
Hey hey hey hey hey!
My aim never misses, this tiger never loses!
It fears nothing and never lets an enemy go!
Shall I challenge you to a contest?
Shall I dance along with it too?
Shall I challenge you to a contest?
Shall I dance along with it too?
I am the mighty champion here!
Yes, I am the capable one!
I am the mighty champion here!
Haha, yes, I am the capable one!
My aim never misses, this tiger never loses!
It fears nothing and never lets an enemy go!
Jinjakanakkum jinjana jinjakanakkum
Jinjakanakkum jinakkum jinjakanakkum
Jinthakkum jinjakanakkum... thaanakkum thaa...
