Even if my voice is lost,
Oh heart, oh heart, do not despair.
Even if all things in this world disappear,
The waves of feeling will keep drifting.
Father, father...
People always speak of the mother,
And forget the father's sacrifice.
If mother is the one who gave milk,
You are the one who raised me into a man.
This bone and this flesh
Sprang from your seed alone,
To become our bond.
I will give my life to rescue you,
A vow has risen within me.
A father is the entire world;
Without a father, life is a dead hell.
A father's love is a gold mine,
A gold mine.
Father, my father, you are my hero.
Father, my father, I am your servant.
Father, my father, my protector.
Father, my father...
Father, my father, you are my hero.
Father, my father, I am your servant.
Father, my father, my protector.
Father, father, father...
In the pure Tamil tongue,
There are countless words,
Yet to express this aloud,
Words are never enough.
I just want to speak my father's name,
Gently and softly.
More than that,
I have no other desire.
When a father's palm
Touches you,
The strength of a lion fills you.
When a son
Gives his life for his father,
The family lineage will see victory.
Father, my father, you are my hero.
Father, my father, I am your servant.
Father, my father, my protector.
Father, father, father...
Even if a mountain collapses into your lap,
Oh heart, oh heart, do not lose courage.
Even if the ocean pours over your head,
Oh my son, my son,
Do not falter... do not despair.
A Tamil calls God his father,
And a Tamil calls his father God.
In my eyes, both are one and the same,
Truth be told, God comes only second.
Why did you give me this birth?
To bring honour to your name, that is why.
Why do I have these strong shoulders?
To conquer every enemy, that is why.
Father, my father, you are my hero.
Father, my father, I am your servant.
Father, my father, my protector.
Father, my father...
Father, my father, you are my hero.
Father, my father, I am your servant.
Father, my father, my protector.
Father, father, father...
