ஹேய் கதிரிங்கே எழுந்தது
பனியின்று மறைந்தது
உலகங்கள் விழித்தது வா வா வா
Hey, the sun has risen here
Today the mist has vanished
The worlds have awakened, come, come, come
இது எந்தன் ராஜ்ஜியம்தான்
எதிர்ப்பவன் பூஜ்ஜியம்தான்
நடப்பதை தெரிந்தவன்தான்
நினைத்ததை முடிப்பவன்தான்
புயலென வருபவன் புரிந்துக் கொள்
புலிக்கு பிறந்தவன்
This is my kingdom
Whoever opposes me is a zero
He is one who knows what will happen
He is one who accomplishes whatever he thinks
Understand that he is one who sweeps in like a storm
He was born to a tiger
இது எந்தன் ராஜ்ஜியம்தான்
எதிர்ப்பவன் பூஜ்ஜியம்தான்...
This is my kingdom
Whoever opposes me is a zero
து ருத்துத்து ருத்துத்து ரூ
ருத்துத்து தூரூரு ருத்துத்து தூரூரு
ருத்துத்து தூரூரு ருத்துத்து தூரூரு......

புனிதர்கள் பிறந்த மண் வணிகர்கள் பையிலே
பதவிகள் கிடைத்தது திருடர்கள் கையிலே
ஏழை உயர்வுக்கு வாளை எடுத்தவன்
நாளை குறிக்கிறேன் நானும் ஜெயிப்பவன்
The land where saints were born is now in the bags of merchants
Positions of power ended up in the hands of thieves
He who took up the sword for the elevation of the poor
I mark tomorrow; I am the one who will win
ஏன் மனிதனே பதுங்க நினைக்கிறாய்
நான் நான் நான் நான் ஆளப்பிறந்தவன்
Why, oh man, do you think of hiding?
I, I, I, I was born to rule
இது எந்தன் ராஜ்ஜியம்தான்
எதிர்ப்பவன் பூஜ்ஜியம்தான்
நடப்பதை தெரிந்தவன்தான்
நினைத்ததை முடிப்பவன்தான்
புயலென வருபவன் புரிந்துக் கொள்
புலிக்கு பிறந்தவன்
This is my kingdom
Whoever opposes me is a zero
He is one who knows what will happen
He is one who accomplishes whatever he thinks
Understand that he is one who sweeps in like a storm

முதுகினை கேள்வியாய் வளைத்தவன் மூடனா
உயர்த்திய ஏணியை ஹாஹ்ஹா உதைத்தவன் வேந்தனா
இனியும் ஒரு முறை தவணை உனக்கில்லை
இன்றே கிழிக்கிறேன் முகத்தின் திரைகளை
Is he a fool who bent his back like a question mark?
Is he a king who kicked away the ladder that raised him?
You get no further extension of time
Today I tear off the masks on your faces
ஓர் ஆணைதான் கதையும் முடிந்திடும்

Just a decree of the town, and the story will end
You will understand who I really am

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Idhu Enthan Raajjiyamthaan from Makkal Aanaiyittaal (1988) is a powerful, hero-centric anthem expressing authority, social awakening, and political revolution. The protagonist declares that a new dawn has arrived, dispersing the fog of corruption and awakening the masses. He severely critiques opportunistic leaders and greedy merchants who have usurped power and abandoned the very people who raised them up. Promising to be a voice for the poor and a force like a storm, the protagonist asserts his right to lead, tear away the masks of corrupt rulers, and establish a kingdom of justice.
