டோன்ட் வொர்ரி புள்ளிங்கோ
தில்லாவே நில்லுங்கோ
சேலன்ஜ்ஜே இல்லாட்டி
லைப் போர்ருங்கோ
Don't worry young folks
Stand tall with guts
If there is no challenge
Life is boring
துட்டெல்லாம் போனாலும்
தூசாக ஆனாலும்
நம்பிக்கை விடாம
வாழ்ந்து பாருங்கோ
Even if all your money is gone
Even if it turns to dust
Without losing hope
Try living life
நண்பா வழிதான்
வலுவாக உன்ன மாத்தும்
வானம் மேல
இந்த வாழ்க்கை உன்னை ஏத்தும்
Friend, pain itself
Will transform you into someone strong
High up into the sky
This life will elevate you
குத்தம் முள்ளை
ஒரு கிரீடம் போல சூடு
கேளி பேச்சை
கேக்காம தூக்கி போடு
The pricking thorn
Wear it like a crown
Words of mockery
Ignore them and throw them away
உன்னை நீ நம்பு
அது தருமே தெம்பு
இது மட்டுமே போதும்
நீ என்றும் கெத்து காட்டிடு
Believe in yourself
That will give you courage
This alone is enough
Show your style and pride forever
எங்கேயும் தேங்காம
ஆறு போல ஓடு
ஒரு நாளில் ஒரு நாளில்
உலகம் உன்னது
Without stagnating anywhere
Run like a river
One day, on one fine day
The world will be yours
விடாம போராடி
உன்னை வென்று காட்டு
அது தானே
நிலையான வெற்றி என்பது
Fight relentlessly
Conquer yourself and show it
That indeed is
What permanent success is
எண்ணம் உன்னோட
ஏணி எந்நாளும்
என்றும் நல்லாவே எண்ணிக்கோ
நல்ல எண்ணங்கள்
நெஞ்சில் வாழட்டும்
உன்ன அது மேல ஏத்திக்கோ
Your thoughts are
Your ladder every day
Always think good thoughts
Let good thoughts
Live in your heart
Let that lift you higher
இலக்கு இலக்கு இலக்கு வச்சா
பயத்த விலக்கி விலக்கி விலக்கி போடு....
இறங்கி இறங்கி இறங்கி கலக்கு....
தெறிக்க தெறிக்க தெறிக்க
நாளும் நீ முன்னேறு....
Once you set a goal, a goal, a goal
Push fear away, away, away
Step down, step down, step down and rock it
So that it shatters and sparkles
Move forward every day
ஹோய்.........(12)
Hoi... (cheering sound)
எதில் நீ தோத்தாலும்
துவண்டு போய் விடாதே
அவமானம் வெகுமானம்
ஆக மாறுமே
என்னதான் துன்பங்கள்
முட்டி மோதினாலும்
தயங்காமல் எதிர் நீச்சல்
போட வேண்டுமே
No matter what you lose in
Do not get dispirited
Insults into rewards
Will surely transform
Whatever troubles
Dash and bump against you
Without hesitating, swim against the tide
You must keep swimming
இன்றே உன் வாழ்வின்
கடைசி நாள் என்று
எண்ணி எந்நாளும் வாழ்த்திடு
சோர்வே இல்லாமல்
வியர்வை நீ சிந்தி
வாழ்வில் வாகைகள் சூடிடு
Consider today as
The last day of your life
Think so and live every single day
Without fatigue
Shed your sweat
Wear the garland of victory in life
முறுக்கு முறுக்கு
மீசை முறுகே.....
நொறுக்கு நொறுக்கு
அடிச்சு நொறுக்கு
நெருப்பு நெருப்பு
மனசில் எரிஞ்சா
கெளப்பு தூளு கெளப்பு
வெற்றிதான் உன்னோடு
Twirl, twirl
Twirl your mustache...
Smash, smash
Beat and smash it
Fire, fire
When burning in your heart
Raise a storm, rock it
Victory is yours

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Don't Worry Pullingo' from the film Irumbu Manithan (2020) is an energetic motivational track aimed at encouraging youth to persevere through life's trials. Set in a relatable tone using modern Chennai street slang, the song advises listeners not to be discouraged by monetary loss, failure, or public mockery. Instead, it urges them to channel pain as fuel for strength, treat obstacles as crowns of honor, and swim boldly against the tide of adversity. The central message focuses on maintaining positive thoughts, setting clear goals, shedding hesitation, and relentlessly striving toward lasting victory.
