Lyrics: Extra Et Cetera (Om Shanti Om)

English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production based on the Bollywood musical film.

Extra Et Cetera

Pappu:
What you need to become a star is…
A sweet mask, an overflowing aura

Extras:
Aura

Pappu:
Effort, willpower, not to mention luck
Find connections, sieze your chance

Extras:
Chance

Pappu:
But the most important thing
What you need most of all
Is the right family

Extras:
Oh no!

Pappu:
So at least

Extras:
Change

Pappu:
Your name

Extras:
Your name

Pappu:
Make a different life

Extras:
Change~

Pappu:
Jitendra, Dharmendra
Kiran, or maybe Kapoor

If not you’ll never be able to rise above
Extra

Extras:
Extras for generations

Pappu:
No matter how long your career, only crowd scenes

Extras:
Not even a named role

Pappu:
‘Et Cetera’

(dialogue)

Rajesh Kapoor:
In our Bollywood
In order to rise
Family is vital above anything

Extras:
Bollywood

Director Ghai:
Effort and willpower?
Talent?
If you don’t have a chance
You’ll never get anywhere

Extras:
No chance

Rishi:
If you really want to be a star
Try being reborn the child of a star!

That’s the only way

Extras:
Chance

Rishi:
The only possibility

Extras:
A new name

Rishi:
Change

Extras:
Change

Rishi, Ghai, Rajesh:
A different life

Extras:
Change

Om:
Jitendra, Dharmendra
Kiran, or maybe Kapoor

Bollywood elites:
If not, you’ll never rise above

Extras:
Extra

Bollywood:
Extras for generations

Om:
No matter how long a career, only crowd roles

Pappu:
Change your name

Om:
I’ll make it!

Bollywood elites:
Not even a named role

All:
‘Et Cetera’
