Aa... ah...
By the rain from dark clouds,
did your sacred path wash away?
Bearing the pain of deep wounds,
is he the noble one who feeds the hungry?
Standing with no one beside you,
coursing through every vein in the body,
holding on without letting go, what is this, mother?
With a firm grip on the sword,
I too shall stand strong.
Blanketing the Kodagu hills,
a dark shadow fell over him.
Blind to the traps of deceit,
will the brave warrior fall?
By the rain from dark clouds,
did your sacred path wash away?
Bearing the pain of deep wounds,
is he the noble one who feeds the hungry?
Shining like sunbeams, he reaches out his hand,
standing guard high upon the nest.
In the harsh terrain of wild buffaloes,
you stay awake and keep watch.
This is the moment to sense treachery,
do not let your eyes cloud over.
In the scorching heat of the blazing fire,
you alone are my support.
O brave warrior...
hold my hand in this battle of mine.
Crashing down like a wave,
I have yielded completely...
Female & Chorus: Holding sword and shield,
where glory blazes bright,
is where brave men stand.
Behind the gathering ranks of the army,
the battlefield cracks its whip!
Female & Chorus: In this little land true to its aim,
his courage carved out history.
Gathering fierce strength to scale the highest peaks,
this is an army of true valour!
Carnatic: [Vocal melody]
Female & Chorus: Holding sword and shield,

Gathering fierce strength to scale the highest peaks,
this is an army of true valour!

Gathering fierce strength to scale the highest peaks,
this is an army of true valour!
