நும்கிளி உம்முயிர்
உள்ளூழல் நமனே
கங்குலின் அடர்மிகு
தங்கும் பூ தகமே
Your life is delicate like a soul in a tiny bird,
O Death churning deep within!
In the dense darkness of the night,
You are a golden bloom that abides.
அகல் அதை அகல் ஒளி
அகத்தெழும் நிதமே
பயமறு பயமறு
வரும் இறை பதமே
Spread the light of the lamp far,
O treasure that rises daily within!
Dispel the fear, dispel the fear,
The divine feet of God shall arrive.
அச்சம் பிசாசடா
அச்சம் பிசாசடா
அண்டிவந்தால் அதை
வச்சு விலாசடா
Fear is a devil, man!
Fear is a devil, man!
If it approaches you,
Thrash it down fiercely!
எட்டி கடாசடா
எட்டி கடாசடா
தட்டும் தோள் தட்டி நீ
சுற்றி வாள் வீசடா
Kick it far away!
Kick it far away!
Pat your own shoulders with pride,
And brandish your sword all around!
பீதியே உன்னிடம்
பேயென மாறிடும்
பேதை அறியாமை
நாகமாய் சீறிடும்
Dread itself, in your presence,
Will turn into a fleeing ghost.
Foolish ignorance
Will hiss at you like a cobra.
சாமி மேல் நம்பிக்கை
வந்திடும் சென்றிடும்
நம்பிக்கை சாமியாய்
கொள்வதே வென்றிடும்
Belief in external gods
May come and go fleetingly,
But treating your own self-belief as God
Is what ultimately wins!
சத்தம் இடுவதும்
கத்தி தொலைப்பதும்
சஞ்சலத்தால் வரும் நோய்கலடா
சக்தியை உன்னிலே
பத்திரமாய் தினம்
பொத்திவை போய் விடும் பேய்கலடா
Making loud noises
And shouting frantically
Are diseases born out of anxiety, man!
Safeguard the inner energy within you
Carefully every single day,
Protect it, and all evil spirits will run away, man!
புத்தி இல்லாததே
சக்தி இல்லாதது
அங்கு உண்டாகிடும் அச்சமடா
Where there is no intellect,
There is no strength,
And fear is born right there, man!
நெஞ்சில் துணிந்திடு
வென்று நடந்திடு
நிச்சயம் உன் வழி உச்சமடா
Be bold in your heart,
Walk with a victorious spirit,
Surely your path will reach the ultimate peak, man!
ஹேய்ய்ய்..........
Heyyyyy....

Agal adhai agal oli

Agathezhum nidhamae
O treasure that rises daily within!
Payamaru payamaru
Dispel the fear, dispel the fear,
Varum irai padhamae
The divine feet of God shall arrive.

Fear is a devil, man!
