At the peak of Palani hill,
Leaving all our burdens behind,
In the groves of Chokkampatti,
O strong lads harvesting sugarcane!
Without hurting a single black ant,
Cut it carefully node by node!
In this village, always,
Nothing bad will ever happen!
Here, even an ant
Won't bite anyone!
In this village, always,
Nothing bad will ever happen!
Chorus: It will never happen!
Male: Here, even an ant
Won't bite anyone!
Chorus: Won't bite at all!
Hey, when the farmer cuts it,
The sugarcane tastes sweet!
When a fighter strikes,
Blood pours from the body!
The more we are cut, the more we grow like banana trees!
The more we are struck, the more we swarm like bees!
If hardship comes,
We will not worry!
If loss comes,
We will not run away!
Murugan of the victorious spear
Will grant us victory!
Murugan of the mighty spear
Lives in our courage!
In this village, always,
Nothing bad will ever happen!
Chorus: It will never happen!
Cooking sweet rice into Pongal,
We must offer our prayers!
Chorus: Today is a fine day!
Male: Grabbing bundles of sugarcane,
We must crunch and chew them down!
Chorus: Well said, Velu, Velu!
For Lord Murugan of Marudhamalai,
We came bearing pierced spears in devotion!
For the deity Madurai Veeran,
We forged and offered a sickle!
With Goddess Mariamman guarding us,
Our village thrives in peace!
Just like brothers,
Look, we live together as one!
If we sow good intentions
As our seeds,
Rain will pour even without clouds!
If he wields his martial staff,
He can touch the sun!
If he spreads his wings,
He can catch the moon!
If hardship comes,
We will not worry!
If loss comes,
We will not run away!
Murugan of the victorious spear
Will grant us victory!
Murugan of the mighty spear
Lives in our courage!
...
"One strike, two pieces"—
That is an old way of talking!
Chorus: Yes, yes, Velu, Velu!
Male: Hey, if a single bomb is thrown,
It shatters into a hundred pieces!
Chorus: Look at how he landed that punchline!
The Ganesha under the sacred fig tree
Only asks for cooked chickpeas!
Yet the youths of our village
Only ask for a fight!
Six senses are common
To every human being!
Yet having a sixth finger (extra strength)
Is gifted only to a few!
Even in a raging storm,
We can keep the camphor burning!
No enemy will ever dare
To step foot here!
Spear, staff, or machete—
Why do we even need weapons?
When Velu is by our side,
Victory is surely ours!
In this village, always,
Nothing bad will ever happen!
Chorus: It will never happen!
Male: Here, even an ant
Won't bite anyone!
Chorus: Won't bite at all!
Hey, when the farmer cuts it,
The sugarcane tastes sweet!
When a fighter strikes,
Blood pours from the body!
The more we are cut, the more we grow like banana trees!
The more we are struck, the more we swarm like bees!
If hardship comes,
We will not worry!
If loss comes,
We will not run away!
Murugan of the victorious spear
Will grant us victory!
Murugan of the mighty spear
Lives in our courage!
