ஆறடி ஆண்டவன்
இவன் ஆறு தல ராவணன்
எதிர் வரும் போராட
களத்தில் எதிரிக்கே
எமனடா
A six-foot god..
He is a comforting Ravana
A war coming in front..
He is the God of Death for the enemy on the battlefield
நின்னு தான்
பாருடா முடிஞ்சா
வென்று தான் பாருடா
கோட்டைக்குள் நானடா
இனி நாட்டுக்குள் புலியடா
Just stand and watch, man
Win if you can and watch, man
I am inside the fort, man
From now on, a tiger in the country, man
ஆண்டவருக்கே
அண்ணேன்டா இவன்
பாண்டவருக்கே கர்ணேன்டா
வேண்டியவர்க்கு தெய்வம்டா
தேடி வந்தவருக்கு தர்மண்டா
An elder brother even to the Lord
He is Karna even to the Pandavas
A god to those who need him
Righteousness to those who come seeking him
நடை தான்
தளா்வு மனமோ
இரும்பு விடை தான்
மௌனம் உடை வாள்
பேசும்
Only the stride is slow
But the mind is made of iron
Silence is the answer
The royal sword will speak
உன் விரல்
நுனியில் நான் வாழவா
என் பிறப்புரிமை உன்
இடக் கோட்டிலா நீ
சொல்லில் ஜாதி தைத்து
என் கையில் விலங்கை
இட்டாய்
Shall I live at the tip of your fingers?
Is my birthright inside your left ribs?
You stitched caste into words
You put handcuffs on my hands
அல்லல் பாட்டை
நிறுத்து உன் திட்டம் சட்டம்
உடைத்து எரிப்பவன்
கரைப்பவன் வேற இனக்
கலவரம் இனி கூற
Stop inflicting affliction
Shattering your plans and laws
The one who burns and the one who dissolves are different
To speak of communal riots from now on
விதை தான்
புதிது மனிதம் பழகு
இருமணம் இணைய
மத காதல் இனமானம்
ஈர்க்க வா வா வா என்
என் படை சூழ வா
Only the seed is new
Practice humanity
For two hearts to unite
Love beyond religion
For sweet minds to accept
Come, come, come
Come surrounded by my army
என் தமிழா
நீ ஆரியம் திராவிடம்
பேசாதே என் இனமே
நீ இந்தியன் என்பதை
மறக்காதே உன் பின்னால்
உலக தமிழன் உயிரை
உனக்காய் தருவான்
Oh my Tamilian..
Do not talk about Aryan or Dravidian
Oh my people
Do not forget that you are an Indian
Behind you..
The global Tamilian
Will give his life for you..

ஆண்டவர் ஆளுடா
