ஆட்சியின் திமிராலே
அகந்தையின் பெயராலே
ஆட்சியின் திமிராலே
அகந்தையின் பெயராலே
சூழ்ச்சியும் வஞ்சமும் சேர்ந்ததடா
வீழ்ச்சியினால் உள்ளம்
வேதனைப் புயலாலே
வீண் பழியே உன்னைச் சார்ந்ததடா..
Due to the arrogance of power,
In the name of pride and ego,
Due to the arrogance of power,
In the name of pride and ego,
Conspiracy and vengeance have joined hands, my dear!
Because of this downfall, the heart
Is caught in a storm of agony,
And false blame has come to rest upon you!
ஆதரவில்லாமல் நீதியும் நில்லாமல்
அன்னையைப் பிரிந்தேங்கும் கோலமடா
காதலின் நிலையாலே பேதமைச் செயலாலே
கரை கடந்தே செல்லும் காலமடா.
Without any support, and without justice standing firm,
It is a pathetic state of longing, separated from mother!
Due to the condition of love and foolish actions,
Time is overflowing its boundaries and passing by!

அகந்தையின் பெயராலே
சூழ்ச்சியும் வஞ்சமும் சேர்ந்ததடா
Due to the arrogance of power,
In the name of pride and ego,
Conspiracy and vengeance have joined hands, my dear!
கடமையை மறவாமல்
மகனென்றும் நினையாமல்
காவலாய் வருவதும் விந்தையடா
உடல் உயிர் மறைந்தாலும்
உன்னையே மறவாமல்
எண்ணி எண்ணி ஏங்கும் தந்தையடா...
Without forgetting his duty,
Without even considering you as a son,
Coming as a protector is indeed a wonder!
Even if the body and soul perish,
Never forgetting you,
It is a father who keeps thinking of you and longing for you!
