Ezhuvaai thamizha kadal alaiyaai
Ezhunthaai imayam etti viduvaai
Ezhuvaai thamizha kadal alaiyaai
Ezhunthaai imayam etti viduvaai
Yeru thamizha munneru
Ettu thisaiyum pugalodu
Vetri magudam nee soodada
Tholvi ellam padigal
Vetri kollum vazhigal
Pongi ezhuda thamizhane
Nigar illa thalaimagane
Intha mannin maintha odi vaada
Va pagandaiya va va pagandaiya
Va pagandaiya va va
Va pagandaiya va va pagandaiya
Va pagandaiya va va
Ezhuvaai thamizha kadal alaiyaai
Ezhunthaai imayam etti viduvaai
Paathai pala paathai
Athai thedi thedi oodamal
Neeye oru paathai ondrai uruvaaku
Kallum kodu mullum
Un kaalgal pattu karanthoda
Vellum per uruthi kondu poradu
Mutti mothi paarai udai
Vetri kaniyai adaiyum varai
Ilakai nokki sendridu thozha
Thamizharin veeram pagai udaikum
Viraivinil ….. uruvedum
Yei thamizha yei thamizha
Nee ondru pattu vetri kollu
Va pagandaiya va va pagandaiya
Va pagandaiya va va
Va pagandaiya va va pagandaiya
Va pagandaiya va va
Ezhuvaai thamizha kadal alaiyaai
Ezhunthaai imayam etti viduvaai
Valai veesi siru maduvai enni
Thamizhai neeyum nadai podu
Uyaram athai ettum varaiyil poradu
Thadaigal un nadaiyai kandu
Thadayam indri podiyagum
Thamizha ne ethirikellam kuriyeedu
Salangai thane neruppu thinnum
Irumbai enthan neruppu theendum
Uruthi kondu iruthi kaaderu
Athu varai imaigalai moodathe
Muyarchigal endrum thalarathe
Ithu kanavai pol kadamaiyai nee
Vetri kolla oodi vaa vaada
Va pagandaiya va va pagandaiya
Va pagandaiya va va
Va pagandaiya va va pagandaiya
Va pagandaiya va va
Va pagandaiya va va pagandaiya
Va pagandaiya va va
Va pagandaiya va va pagandaiya
Va pagandaiya va va
Va pagandaiya va va pagandaiya
Va pagandaiya va va
Va pagandaiya va va pagandaiya
Va pagandaiya va va
Rise up, Tamil, like an ocean wave!
If you rise, you will reach the Himalayas!
Rise up, Tamil, like an ocean wave!
If you rise, you will reach the Himalayas!
March ahead, Tamil, keep moving forward!
With your fame echoing across all eight directions,
Crown yourself with victory!
Every failure is only a stepping stone,
A path that leads to triumph.
Surge up with passion, O Tamilian!
O peerless first-born son!
Son of this soil, come running forward!
Come, Pagandaya! Come, come, Pagandaya!
Come, Pagandaya, come, come!
Come, Pagandaya! Come, come, Pagandaya!
Come, Pagandaya, come, come!
Rise up, Tamil, like an ocean wave!
Once you rise, you will reach the Himalayas!
There are paths, so many paths—
Instead of wandering around looking for one,
Carve out a path of your own!
So that rocks and sharp thorns
Wear away beneath your feet,
Fight on with fierce resolve to win!
Clash hard and shatter the rocks,
Until you reach the sweet fruit of victory!
March straight toward your goal, my friend!
The valor of the Tamils will crush enemies,
And rise in mighty form very soon!
Hey Tamil, hey Tamil,
Stand united and conquer!
Come, Pagandaya! Come, come, Pagandaya!
Come, Pagandaya, come, come!
Come, Pagandaya! Come, come, Pagandaya!
Come, Pagandaya, come, come!
Rise up, Tamil, like an ocean wave!
If you rise, you will reach the Himalayas!
Cast your net boldly, treating every pool as small,
O Tamil, stride forward with pride!
Keep fighting until you scale the heights!
Seeing the power of your stride, obstacles
Will turn to dust without a trace!
Tamil, you are a symbol of dread to your foes!
Fire will consume even the ankle-bells,
And my inner fire will melt solid iron!
With steel in your heart, march on till the very end!
Until then, do not close your eyes!
Never let your efforts waver!
Cherishing this duty just like a dream,
Come running to seize your victory!
Come, Pagandaya! Come, come, Pagandaya!
Come, Pagandaya, come, come!
Come, Pagandaya! Come, come, Pagandaya!
Come, Pagandaya, come, come!
Come, Pagandaya! Come, ah, Pagandaya!
Come, Pagandaya, come, come!
Come, Pagandaya! Come, come, Pagandaya!
Come, Pagandaya, come, come!
Come, Pagandaya! Come, ah, Pagandaya!
Come, Pagandaya, come, come!
Come, Pagandaya! Come, come, Pagandaya!
Come, Pagandaya, come, come!
