வசனம் :
நடிகர் விஜய் சேதுபதி
Someone who came from somewhere unknown
Deceived us and captured our place
Until they sat right on top of our heads
Thinking everything would fix itself automatically
We just stayed idle
Getting rusted away
{எங்கையோ இருந்து வந்த ஒருத்தன்
நம்பள ஏமாத்தி நம்ம இடத்த புடிச்சி
நம்ம தலை மேல ஏறி உக்கார வரைக்கும்
எல்லாமே தன்னால சரியாவும் நெனச்சி
நம்ப சும்மாவே இருந்துருக்கோம்
துரு புடிச்சிரும்
Come, a way has opened up
Let us sow the seeds of the sun
In the harsh wind and high lands
Let us spread the light, my friend
நம்பளோட உரிமைகிறது
இன்னொருத்தன்கிட்ட கேட்டு வாங்குற
பிச்சை கிடையாது
அது நம்பளோட இயல்பு
நம்பளோட உரிமைய தடுக்கணும் நினச்சா
தடுக்குறவன் மூஞ்சிய விட்டுட்டு
அவன் மூளைய அடிச்சி ஒடைக்கணும்
அப்போதான் அடுத்து வரவனுக்கும்
அப்பிடி யோசிக்கணும்னு எண்ணமே வராது
எப்பவுமே மெயின் சுவிட்ச்தான் மஸ்ட்டு} (வசனம்)
Ah, crossing all limits
We now stand tall like a blazing flame
Rapidly and overwhelmingly
We, the slaves, have opened our eyes
வா ஒரு வழி வந்தது
சூரிய விதைகளை பயிரிடுவோம்
கடுங் காட்டுல மேட்டுல
வெளிச்சத்த மச்சான் விரித்திடுவோம்
Ah, to scale the fort
We have begun all our hunts
The weak and the hardworking must rise up
Give it back on the back of the oppressor who kicked
அட வேலிய மீறி
பிழம்பா நின்னுட்டோம்
மள மள மளவென
அடிமைகள் கண்ணை முழிச்சிட்டோம்
Sparks fly in both eyes
Break an elephant with just one hand
Who gave this evil?
Tear apart his political intellect
Split open his wooden head with wisdom
Open up rights from his throat
Let us assert, let us overcome
Let us march forth so generations can celebrate
அட கோட்டையில் ஏறிட
வேட்டைகள் யாவும் தொடங்கிட்டோம்
எளச்சவன் ஒழச்சவன் எழணும்
ஒதச்சவன் முதுகுல தரனும்
Let the slum and division transform
Let this news become permanent
Let the high-and-low hierarchy end
Let our earth become brand new
இரு கண்ணுல துடிக்குது பொறி பொறி
ஒரு கையில யானைய முறி முறி
எவன் தந்தது தீமைய
அவன் அரசியல் மூளைய கிழி கிழித்திடு
மர மண்டைய அறிவில பிளந்திட
அவன் தொண்டைய உரிமைகள் திறந்திட
உரப்படுவோம் மறப்படுவோம்
தலைமுறை எல்லாம் கொண்டாட புறப்படுவோம்
Let the slum and division transform
Let this news become permanent
Let the high-and-low hierarchy end
Let our earth become brand new
சேரி மாறி போகட்டும்
இந்த செய்தி நிலை ஆகட்டும்
மேல கீழ தீரட்டும்
நம்ம பூமி புதிதாகட்டும்
Partner, who told you to...
Live life taking debts
And sleep off every day?
Holding fear, shyness, and shame
Saying 'long live my life'?
சேரி மாறி போகட்டும்
இந்த செய்தி நிலை ஆகட்டும்
மேல கீழ தீரட்டும்
நம்ம பூமி புதிதாகட்டும்
Who gave this, which guy gave this?
Settling right in the middle of our home
Bowing down heads
Lying low like animals
பங்காளி யார் சொன்னது
கடன் வாங்கி உயிர் வாழ்ந்துவிட
தினம் தூங்கிவிட
அச்சம் கூச்சம் வெட்கம் கொண்டு
உயிர் வாழ்க என்று
The cheated one must change, must change
The underprivileged one must rise, must rise
Blowing a rainbow even out of lime powder
Scoop up all the vibrant colors
யார் தந்தது எவன் தந்தது
நடு வீட்டிலே குடி வந்தது
சிரம் தாழ்த்தியே
கிட கிட கிட அட அட என்று
When eyes join together, even stars will scatter like smiles
When hands join together, even tears will turn sweet
Every commoner like Kuppan and Suppan must yearn and rise
Must question what is happening
ஏமாந்தவன் மாறனும் மாறனும்
அன்னாந்தவன் ஏறனும் ஏறனும்
சுண்ணாம்புல வானவில் ஊத்தி
அடி அடி அடி வண்ணங்கள் அள்ளும்
Raamayi, Krishnayi, don't yearn, my mother
Everything will come reaching you
Even if a dog wears a tiger costume, it can never roar
If you resist, everything will change
Lazy and abusive words transform
Here comes the news that the leader has arrived
Ah, clownish and foolish masks are shattered
The slums have now become the realm of the royal eagle
Half for you, half for me, that alone is equal justice
Come on, my partner!
விழி சேர்ந்திட விண்மீனும் சித்திக்கும்
கரம் சேர்ந்திட கண்ணீரும் தித்திக்கும்
குப்பனும் சுப்பனும் எக்கணும் எக்கனும்
என்னான்னு கேட்க்கன்னும்
Let the slum and division transform
Let this news become permanent
Let the high-and-low hierarchy end
Let our earth become brand new
ராமாயி கிருஷ்ணாயி ஏங்காத என் தாயி
எல்லாமே உன்னை வந்து சேரும்
புலி வேஷம் போட்டாலும் நாய் என்றும் உறுமாதே
எதிர்த்தாலே எல்லாமே மாறும்
சோமாறி பேமானி வார்த்தைகள் உருமாறி
அண்ணாத்த வந்தாச்சி செய்தி
அட கோமாளி ஏமாளி வேஷங்கள் தூளாகி
ராஜாளி இடமாச்சி சேரி
நீ பாதி நான் பாதி அதுதானே சம நீதி
வாடா டே பங்காளி
Let the slum and division transform
Let this news become permanent
Let the high-and-low hierarchy end
Let our earth become brand new
சேரி மாறி போகட்டும்
இந்த செய்தி நிலை ஆகட்டும்
மேல கீழ தீரட்டும்
நம்ம பூமி புதிதாகட்டும்
சேரி மாறி போகட்டும்
இந்த செய்தி நிலை ஆகட்டும்
மேல கீழ தீரட்டும்
நம்ம பூமி புதிதாகட்டும்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This powerful track serves as a clarion call for political awakening, social equality, and anti-caste revolution. The lyrics reflect on how marginalized communities remained passive for decades while corrupt rulers usurped power and resources. It urges the oppressed to throw off their chains, question the status quo, and claim their equal share of power and dignity. The repeated emphasis on breaking social hierarchies ('Mel keezha theerattum') highlights the core philosophy of equal rights and justice ('Nee padhi naan padhi adhu thaane samaneedhi').
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor
“Sooriya vidhaigalai payiriduvom”
'Sooriya vidhaigalai payiriduvom' (Sowing the seeds of the sun) metaphorically represents planting the seeds of enlightenment, hope, and revolutionary consciousness.
Adukkuthodar (Repetition for Emphasis)
“Iru kannula thudikkuthu pori pori”
The repetition of 'pori pori' and 'muri muri' emphasizes intense anger and tremendous physical strength respectively.
Contrast / Imagery
“Puli vesham pottaalum naai endrum urumaathae”
Compares a fake pretender disguised as a tiger to a dog ('Puli vesham pottaalum naai endrum urumaathae') to emphasize that oppressors lack true courage when confronted.
