Hey erikkarai kaathu adikka

Oorukkulla oor kaaval neranchu irukka

Hey, as the breeze from the lake bank blows,
As the folk song begins,
As protection fills the whole town,
Who will sing the chorus?
Ah, I will sing the lead song!
Hey, who is that singing?
Sing praising my grandson!
How can I sing without seeing him?
You have seen him now, so sing!
Hey, beautiful girl with the beauty mark,
Tell us your sweetheart's name!
Ah, sing all about his sharp, curved moustache!
Hey, beautiful girl with the beauty mark,
Tell us your sweetheart's name!
Ah, sing all about his sharp, curved moustache!
Hey, hey, hey, what is this?
You are messing it up by singing "Sundari, tell me"!
Is this the way to praise him?
How else should I praise him, sir?
Look, I will start it off, pick it up!
In compassion, he is Vallalar (saint of compassion),
In bravery, he is Ayyanar (guardian deity),
And in good looks, he is MGR!
Sir, have you set the tune?
Now watch this!
Hey, what of the Cheras, what of the Cholas?
What of the bravery of the Pandyas?
Our brother stands above them all!
Born of a sword-wielding clan,
Because of our brother, there is no fear in this town!
Hey, what of the Cheras, what of the Cholas?
What of the bravery of the Pandyas?
Our brother stands above them all!
Born of a sword-wielding clan,
Because of our brother, there is no fear in this town!
Hey, what of the Cheras, what of the Cholas?
What of the bravery of the Pandyas?
Our brother stands above them all!
Born of a sword-wielding clan,
Because of our brother, there is no fear in this town!
Because of our brother, there is no fear in this town!
Hey, he fights with a staff!
If he takes up the stick and fights,
Who has ever stood against him and won?
Hey, he considers everyone his own!
Crossing the line he has drawn,
Who has ever dared to step forward?
The stoves in poor homes burn
Only because of him!
Ah, the backs of his enemies break
Only because of him!
Living our lives filled with affection
Is only because of him!
Wherever our path may lead,
It will always be with him!
Hey, what of the Cheras, what of the Cholas?
What of the bravery of the Pandyas?
Our brother stands above them all!
Born of a sword-wielding clan,
Because of our brother, there is no fear in this town!
No, no, that is not all!
On the path walked by great leaders,
Our brother is walking today—
Sing a song about that!
Hey, every young woman
Desires deep inside her heart
Only a groom like our brother!
Your strength lives in every humble hut,
And you hold a place in the hearts of millions of Tamils!
Every town is talking only about you,
Ah, our very breath is devoted only to you!
Hey, what of the Cheras, what of the Cholas?
What of the bravery of the Pandyas?
Our brother stands above them all!
Born of a sword-wielding clan,
Because of our brother, there is no fear in this town!

Born of a sword-wielding clan,
Because of our brother, there is no fear in this town!
