Hey, shedding fear,
growing courage,
breaking the deep grudge
buried in the chest,
with a clear mind,
setting firm principles,
born in the land of King Karikalan,
in the turning wheel of time,
he crossed the seas and lived beneath the mountains.
The courage of his forefathers
pulses in his chest like a backbone of strength.
Let the time come, there is a plan;
the enemy is still gripped with panic.
As time passed and his reach grew wide,
taking on a new birth,
if set on fire, the body will burn away,
but the dream will forever drift upon the wind.
Through all the hours of violent turmoil,
blood was spilled, and the people are witness.
For the land that filled grave after grave,
there was a distinct place in history.
For the enemy who turned his back and fled,
there is not a single drop of space.
Run far away!
Time will do its duty.
History will be the guide.
When he arrives, he strikes like thunder.
Thighs tremble, and their guts churn with fear.
The oppressed find refuge on one side,
while his noble heart wins over everyone.
He understands all the subtle games of politics
played across the nations of the world.
Sinful men put on acts
to make themselves look righteous,
but even when surrounded by enemies,
his character speaks straight and true.
Is this army enough?
Or do you need a little more?
Is this army enough?
Or do you need a little more?
Is this army enough?
Or do you need a little more?
Is this army enough?
Or do you need a little more?
An army built for you,
walking with a distinct stride of his own,
standing like a lighthouse
ready to guide you safely to shore.
Let it be clearly understood:
we are the people who moved mountains for our land!
The volcano erupts,
and the enemy breaks into a sweat.
Announcing his arrival,
even the sky bows in respect.
Even if the sky comes crashing down,
his resolve will never falter.
He is one who lends a helping hand,
one who cannot be bought with money,
one of noble character who wins glory for his people.
Having survived many nights of poverty,
embracing all pain as sacred,
his own kingdom and his army
are in his hands as the Parai drums roar!
With strong forces across sea and sky, entering the field,
his triumph today leaves the whole world in awe.
As the Parai drums thundered, the rains arrived;
as enemies roared, the army marched forward.
Seeking every day to rise tall,
yet his heart refuses to commit any wrong.
Do not show mercy based on race,
do not hold longing based on language.
If you just look at a fellow human as human,
that alone is enough—the whole world will honor you.
Do not look up with arrogance!
No!
Do not provoke what lies deep in his chest!
Stop!
You cannot stand against us when we unite!
Fight!
Do not seek sympathy!
Right!
Do not look up with arrogance!
No!
Do not provoke what lies deep in his chest!
Stop!
You cannot stand against us when we unite!
Fight!
Do not seek sympathy!
Right!
Is this army enough?
Or do you need a little more?
Is this army enough?
Or do you need a little more?
Is this army enough?
Or do you need a little more?
Is this army enough?
Or do you need a little more?
