Oh mother, after getting beaten up, my cheeks slowly changed color.
Oh mother, after getting kicked, my entire body got bruised and scraped... wow!
Oh mother, all the muscles were punctured and torn apart.
Beautiful!
Oh mother, every single bone was counted and broken.
இடிச்சிட்ட புளிதான் ஒரம் ஏறும் டா
பொறுத்துட்ட மனம்தான் பலம் பெறும் டா
வலியில துடிச்சவன் கடவுள ஜெயிச்சவன் டா
ஆஆஹ்...ஆஆஹ்....ஆஆஹ்....
The tiger struck by thunder steps aside to bide its time!
Only a mind that endures suffering will gain true strength!
The one who writhes in immense pain is the one who conquers even God!
Aahaa aaaahaa aa aahaa
