Here comes Muni!
Muni has arrived!
Muni has taken his stand!
Muni, Muni, hit the beat, buddy!
To our neighborhood,
He is the king of our neighborhood!
To all our people and kin,
He belongs to everyone!
If he tells anyone to stop,
The whole town listens to him!
If someone does wrong,
He is the brave man who questions them!
Ready to lay down his life for a friend,
He is a true friend!
Even without money and wealth,
He is pure gold!
He makes a decision, grabs a club,
And lands a heavy blow!
He lends a hand, gives a wink,
And finishes their story!
Across all eight directions,
Ah, Muni, Muni, Muni, Muni!
He stands tall and mighty!
Ah, Muni, Muni, Muni, Muni!
Here comes Muni!
Muni has arrived!
Muni has taken his stand!
Muni, Muni, hit the beat, buddy!
Even if you offer crores of money,
He will never change, that is Muni!
If a tear falls from the eyes
Of the poor in the hood, he will explode in rage!
Once he gives his word,
He will never back away from it!
When it comes to friendship,
He will never push it aside!
Across all seven worlds,
Muni, Muni, Muni, Muni,
He is our guardian god!
Muni, Muni, Muni, Muni!
Here comes Muni!
Muni has arrived!
Muni has taken his stand!
Muni, Muni, hit the beat, buddy!
Muni, Muni is coming...
Muni, Muni is coming!
Muni, Muni is coming...
Muni, Muni is coming!
Muni, Muni is coming...
Muni, Muni is coming!
Muni, Muni is coming...
Muni, Muni is coming!
Look at the temple tower rising in our neighborhood!
Look at the god living in our neighborhood!
He is coming, he is coming...
He is coming, he is coming... here he comes!
On someone else's money,
He has never lived,
And so, there is no fear in his heart!
Even though bullies exist to oppress,
Muni is not the kind to bow down!
Just a word from him is enough,
The whole town will stand and roar!
Just one single word is enough,
Look, many swords will rally by his side!
He is of our own kind!
Ah, Muni, Muni, Muni, Muni!
He is our true devotion!
Ah, Muni, Muni, Muni, Muni!
Here comes Muni!
Muni has arrived!
Muni has taken his stand!
Muni, Muni, hit the beat, buddy!
To our neighborhood,
He is the king of our neighborhood!
To all our people and kin,
He belongs to everyone!
If he tells anyone to stop,
The whole town listens to him!
If someone does wrong,
He is the brave man who questions them!
Ready to lay down his life for a friend,
He is a true friend!
Even without money and wealth,
He is pure gold!
He makes a decision, grabs a club,
And lands a heavy blow!
He lends a hand, gives a wink,
And finishes their story!
Across all eight directions,
Ah, Muni, Muni, Muni, Muni!
He stands tall and mighty!
Ah, Muni, Muni, Muni, Muni!
