Hey, singing and dancing,
it is a day to have a blast!
Having a blast!
Hey, having a blast!
Singing, dancing, and having a blast,
it is that kind of day!
Blowing its whistle around town,
the train rushes along!
Hello dear,
come, come near!
Searching for another sky,
countless wings take flight!
Once again on this new globe,
let us jump with joy!
Singing and dancing,
Hey! Singing and dancing,
Singing, dancing, and having a blast,
it is that kind of day!
Blowing its whistle around town,
the train rushes along!
Look outside, shall we gently
open up our hearts?
Hey, look there!
You look, just look!
Look outside!
Look outside, shall we gently
open up our hearts?
Tossing aside the burden of studies,
shall we fly away?
No need for tension!
Male: Oho!
Female: No depression... yes!
We have wings in our hearts,
come, let us live today!
No boundaries and no worries
from now on!
Singing and dancing,
Male: Start dancing!
Female: Hey, singing and dancing,
Male: Rock the floor!
Singing, dancing, and having a blast,
it is that kind of day!
Blowing its whistle around town,
the train rushes along... hey hey hey!
Fried cashews,
shall we buy them crisp and crunchy?
Fried cashews,
oh fried, yeah fried!
Fried cashews,
shall we munch them crisp and crunchy?
Inside cold drinks,
shall we go for a swim?
Hot samosas,
special dosas,
fragrant biryani,
your mouth will water, come on!
Calling out to us with gravy,
is the chola poori...
