நாடு ஆண்ட மன்னன் எல்லாம்
மக்கள் மனதில் நின்றது இல்லை
மக்களுக்காக வாழ்ந்த மன்னன்

Not every king who ruled a nation,
Lived on in the hearts of the common people.
But a king who lived solely for his people,
Is never erased from history.
வீர தீர கதைகள் சொல்ல
எங்க நாகமதி கதையும் உண்டு
பால் குடிக்கும் குழந்தை கூட
வாள் பிடிக்க தயங்குவதில்லை
To recount tales of courage and valor,
The legend of our Nagamadhi also stands tall.
Where even a milk-drinking infant,
Does not hesitate to grasp a sword.

Builds a home to stay confined.

வீடு கட்டி தங்குவதில்லை
Hands that continuously give with benevolence,
Never run dry, just like the vast ocean.
The charitable hands of our Nagamadhi,
Will never say 'no' to anyone in need.
அள்ளி அள்ளி கொடுக்கும் கைகள்
சமுத்திரம் போல் வற்றுவதில்லை
எங்கள் நாகமதி கைகள் என்றும்
இல்லை என்று சொல்வதில்லை
