Blow the horns!
Beat the drums, drummers!
Come on, everyone, gather around!
Velan has arrived!
In the lineage of Thillaiyaru,
born to Palanisamy,
look, Velan has passed his exams!
Now, hosting a feast for the whole town,
let us serve mutton rice!
Hey, Thandanakka Thandanakka Thavaladi!
Isn't a single victory the answer to all failures?
Goat head curry on a fresh plantain leaf,
ah, a lavish feast is underway, grab your share!
My buddy has passed and made his entry!
Now he has become the trend in town!
My buddy has passed and made his entry!
Now he has become the trend in town!
The future is ours, we will live it with pride!
Just watch us make history!
There is no kin greater than a friend!
There is no bond anywhere like a true friend!
Hey Thandanakka! Hey Thandanakka!
Hey, Thandanakka Thandanakka Thavaladi!
Isn't a single victory the answer to all failures?

If only you have self-belief, everything will happen!
Even the vast sky will lie beneath our feet!
Whatever we touch from now on will be a smashing hit!
A time comes for every defeated person to win!
Hey, bring on the fast folk beat!

Bring on the beat and the dance will follow!
Just tap along and the song will flow!

Isn't a single victory the answer to all failures?
Ah, if you have only money,
it will just make you a spendthrift!
Combine it with education, and the whole town will admire you!
In this entire world, friendship is the greatest of all!
It is a bond completely free of pretense!
Bring on the beat and the dance will follow!
Just tap along and the song will flow!

On a fresh plantain leaf...
Goat head curry on a fresh plantain leaf... head curry!
Ah, a lavish feast is underway, grab your share!
My buddy has passed and made his entry!
Now he has become the trend in town!
