♫ Tanglish lyrics
↻ English translation
Make the way for the fighter
Rising like a soldier
Everyday grow stronger
Make way for the winner
Walking with a smoulder
Thru the night thats colder
Adikadi nee irakkanerum
Meendum meendum pirapirandhida
Sila ninaivai marakkavendum
Naali nokki nada nadanthida
Ellai athai thaandavendum
Veru ellai varaivarindhida
Edhigirigalum nadungavendum
Neeyum kannil theri therindhida
Vaa modhipaaru modhiparu
I am a fighter
Moraikkura aala paaru
I am a fighter
Vettaiyada vettaiyada vandha
Fighter
Vizhundhalum melayerum andha
Fighter
Vedikira theepori andha
Fighter
Winning in the game
I am a fighter
I’m a fighter
You be the fighter
You be the best
You be the legend
Thumping on your chest
Dream believe
Try and hope
The four help you
More more than the dope
Learn a little fast
Skin a litle deep
Think a little smart
You are ready to fight
Night and day
You are ready to sweat
Its the ride of your life
So hold it tight now

I am a fighter
I’m a fighter
Make way for the fighter
Rising like a soldier
Everyday grow stronger
Make way for the winner
Walking with a smolder
Through the night that's colder
You might have to die often
Only to be reborn again and again
You must forget some memories
To keep walking toward tomorrow
You must cross that boundary
To draw a new boundary of your own
Even enemies must tremble
The moment you appear before their eyes
Come, try and take me on!
I am a fighter
Look at the one glaring back at you
I am a fighter
The one who came out to hunt
Fighter
That one who rises back up every time he falls
Fighter
That bursting spark of fire
Fighter
Winning in the game
I am a fighter
I'm a fighter
You be the fighter
You be the best
You be the legend
Thumping on your chest
Dream, believe
Try and hope
These four will help you
More and more than any dope
Learn a little fast
Dig a little deep
Think a little smart
You are ready to fight
Night and day
You are ready to sweat
It's the ride of your life
So hold it tight now
...
Forge your own destiny
And bring the whole world into it, hey!
Bring the strength to shatter mountains
Bring the open sky to spread your wings, hey!
Gathering stones day by day
Build a dam with your sweat
If every breath you take becomes pure effort
There is no match for you
Come, try and take me on!
I am a fighter
Look at the one glaring back at you
I am a fighter
The one who came out to hunt
Fighter
That one who rises back up every time he falls
Fighter
That bursting spark of fire
Fighter
Winning in the game
I am a fighter
I'm a fighter
Make way for the fighter
Rising like a soldier
Everyday grow stronger
Knowing that pain is strength
Remember this today, yesterday, and tomorrow
It is scars that make you a warrior
Wherever you may go
You be the fighter
You be the best
You be the legend
Thumping on your chest
You be the fighter
You be the best
You be the legend
Thumping on your chest
Come, try and take me on!
I am a fighter
Look at the one glaring back at you
I am a fighter
The one who came out to hunt
Fighter
That one who rises back up every time he falls
Fighter
That bursting spark of fire
Fighter
Winning in the game
I am a fighter
I'm a fighter
