{Engaiyo irunthu vandha oruthan
Nambala yemathi namma idatha pudichi
Namma thalai mela yeri ukkarra varaikkum
Ellamae thannaala sariyaavum nenachi
Namba summavae irunthurukkom
Thuru pudichi poiyu
Vaa oru vazhi vanthathu
Sooriya vidhaigalai payiriduvom
Kadung kaatula meetula
Velichatha machaan virithiduvom
Ada veliya meeri
Pizhambaa ninnutom
Mala mala malavena
Adimaigal kannai muzhichittom
Ada kottaiyil yerida
Vettaigal yaavum thodangittom
Yelachavan ozhachavan ezhanum
Odhachavan mudhugula tharanam
Iru kannula thudikkuthu pori pori
Oru kaiyila yaanaiya muri muri
Yevan thandhathu theemaiya
Avan arasiyal moolaiya kizhi kizhithida
Mara mandaiya arivila pilanthida
Avan thondaiya urimaigal thiranthida
Urappaduvom marappaduvom
Thalaimurai ellam kondaada purappaduvom
Chaeri maari pogattum
Intha seidhi nizhai aagattum
Mel keezha theerattum
Namma boomi pudhithaagattum
Chaeri maari pogattum
Intha seidhi nizhai aagattum
Mel keezha theerattum
Namma boomi pudhithaagattum
Pangali yaar sonnathu
Kadan vangi uyir vaazhnthu vida
Dhinam thoongi vida
Achcham koochcham vetkam kondu
Uyir vaazhga endru
Yaar thanthadhu evan thanthadhu
Nadu veetilae kudi vandhathu
Siram thaazhthiyae
Kida kida ada ada endru
Yemanthavan maaranum maaranum
Annathavan yeranum yeranum
Sunnambula vaanavil oothi
Adi adi vannangal allum
Vizhi sernthida vinmeenum sithikkum
Karam sernthida kanneerum thithikkum
Kuppanum suppanum yekkanum yekkanum
Ennannu kekkanum
Raamayi krishnayi yengatha en thaaiye
Ellamae unai vandhu serum
Puli vesham pottaalum naai endrum urumaathae
Yethirthaalae ellamae maarum
Somari bemani varthaigal urumaari
Annatha vanthaachu seithi
Ada komali yemali veshangal thoolaagi
Rajaali idamaachi chaeri
Nee padhi naan padhi adhu thaane samaneedhi
Vaada dae pangali
Chaeri maari pogattum
Intha seidhi nizhai aagattum
Mel keezha theerattum
Namma boomi pudhithaagattum
Chaeri maari pogattum
Intha seidhi nizhai aagattum
Mel keezha theerattum
Namma boomi pudhithaagattum
Someone who came from nowhere,
fooled us and seized our land,
climbing right onto our heads to rule us;
thinking everything would fix itself on its own,
we simply sat idle all this time,
getting rusted away.
Come on, a way forward has appeared!
Let us sow the seeds of the sun!
Across dense forests and rugged mounds,
my friend, let us spread the light!
Breaking past all limits,
we have risen like a blaze!
In a sudden, raging rush,
we, the oppressed, have opened our eyes!
To storm the fortress walls,
we have begun our hunt!
The weak and the hardworking must rise,
and strike back at the oppressor's back!
Sparks of fire crackle in both our eyes,
breaking an elephant's might with a single hand!
Whoever brought this evil upon us,
let us tear apart his cunning political mind!
Let us split his stubborn head with our wisdom!
Let our rights force open his silent throat!
Let us unite and stand as brave warriors,
let us march so future generations can celebrate!
Let the segregated slums be transformed,
let this message become the truth!
Let high and low divides end,
let our world be made brand new!
Let the segregated slums be transformed,
let this message become the truth!
Let high and low divides end,
let our world be made brand new!
Brother, who told you
to live your life on loans and debts,
to simply sleep every day away,
and live filled with fear, hesitation, and shame?
Who said that is how you should live?
Who gave you this life? Who forced it on you?
Who walked right in and took over our home,
telling us to bow our heads
and lie low in submission?
The one who was fooled must change!
The brother who was crushed must rise up!
Blowing a rainbow out of plain limestone,
look how it gathers bursting colours!
When our eyes unite, even the stars will smile!
When our hands join, even tears will turn sweet!
Every common man must step up and lead,
and demand answers for everything!
Ramayi, Krishnayi, don't weep, my mothers,
all that is yours will come back to you!
A dog disguised as a tiger can never truly roar,
the moment you resist, everything will change!
Those insults calling us lazy and worthless have flipped,
look, brother, the grand news is here!
The masks of jokers and tricksters have crumbled to dust,
and our humble settlement is now the soaring eagle's domain!
Half for you, half for me—isn't that true equality?
Come along, my brother!
Let the segregated slums be transformed,
let this message become the truth!
Let high and low divides end,
let our world be made brand new!
Let the segregated slums be transformed,
let this message become the truth!
Let high and low divides end,
let our world be made brand new!
