வா புறப்படு விதிகளை தகர்த்திட
வாள் முனையிலே சரியது தவறிட
எதிர் அலை ஓங்கட்டும்
எதிர் வினை சீறட்டும்
பெண்ணியம் போர்க்களம்
Come, set forth and shatter all the rules!
As right and wrong hang on the edge of a sword,
Let the opposing wave rise up high!
Let the counter-reaction strike fiercely!
Feminism is a battlefield!
எழுந்து நின்று போரிடு
எழுந்து நின்று போரிடு
எழுந்து நின்று போரிடு
எழுந்து நின்று போரிடு
Rise, stand tall, and fight!
Rise, stand tall, and fight!
Rise, stand tall, and fight!
Rise, stand tall, and fight!
எதிரலை ஓங்கட்டும்

நாநாநா நா ..நாநாநா நா
Let the opposing wave rise up high!
Rise, stand tall, and fight!
Let the counter-reaction strike fiercely!
Rise, stand tall, and fight... nanana naa... nanana naa...
துணிவைப் போலொரு ஆயுதம் வேறில்லை
காலம் கூறினால் போர் ஒன்றும் பிழையில்லை
கேள்விகள் தாங்கிட போர்க்களம் இடமில்லை
புரட்சிகள் விதைத்திட பிளவுகள் பிழையில்லை
There is no weapon greater than courage.
If the times demand it, waging war is never a mistake.
The battlefield is no place to endure endless doubts.
To sow the seeds of revolution, creating rifts is no error.
நேரம் காதிருக்காது
வா வா போகலாம்
ஈரம் எரிமலைக்கேது
வா வா சீறலாம்
வெல்பவள் மாத்திரம்
ஆகிறாள் சரித்திரம்
Time will not wait!
Come, let us go!
What place does soft moisture have inside a volcano?
Come, let us charge forward fiercely!
Only the woman who conquers
Is written into history!
எதிர் அலை ஓங்கட்டும்
எதிர் வினை சீறட்டும்
பெண்ணியம் போர்க்களம்
Let the opposing wave rise up high!
Let the counter-reaction strike fiercely!
Feminism is a battlefield!
