ரா பத்திக்கிது தீயா ஏத்து
கால் வச்சு ஸ்பீடா ஏத்து
காத்தெல்லாம் ட்ரீம்ம ஏத்து
வாழலாம் ஹே வா ராச கொண்டாடு
வந்தவனெல்லாம் நம்மாளு

ஒரு புயழுப் பாட்டு நெஞ்சோடு
The night is catching fire, turn up the heat!
Step on the gas and pick up the speed!
Fill the entire air with dreams!
Let's live life! Hey come, my king, celebrate!
Everyone who comes here is one of our own!

Play upon the stage of the wide world!
This dusty life will transform into a garden of blooming flowers!
A stormy song residing deep inside the heart!
