ஏய் அச்சம் தவிர்த்து
ஆண்மை வளர்த்து
அடி நெஞ்சில் கொண்ட
வஞ்சம் உடைத்து
சிந்தை தெளிந்து
கொள்கை வரைந்து
கரிகாலன் நாட்டில் பிறந்து
Hey, shed your fear
Nurture your valor
Break the vengeance
Held deep in your heart
Gain clarity of mind
Draw up your principles
Born in the land of King Karikalan
காலத்தின் சுழற்சியில்
அவன் கடல் தாண்டி
மலை தாண்டி வாழ்ந்து
முப்பாட்டன் வீரம்
முதுகெழும்பென இவனது
நெஞ்சில் துடிக்க
In the cycle of time
He crossed the seas and lived at the foot of the mountain
The bravery of forefathers
Pulsates in his chest like a backbone
நேரம் வரட்டும் திட்டம் இருக்கு
எதிரிக்கோ இன்றும் பதற்றம் கிடக்கு
காலம் கடந்து ஞானம் வளர்த்து
புதிதாக ஓர் பிறப்பை எடுத்து
தீ இட்டால் தேகம் அழியும்
கனவென்றும் காற்றில் மிதக்கும்
கலவரத்தின் பொழுதுகள் அணைத்திலும்
குருதிகள் சிந்துது மக்கள் சாட்சி
Let the time come, there is a plan
The enemy still wallows in anxiety
Time passed, rising to the skies
Taking a brand new rebirth
If set on fire, the body perishes
But dreams will forever float in the wind
In all times of turmoil
Blood spills, with people as witnesses
சவ குளிகளை நிரப்பிய மண்ணுக்கு
சரித்திரத்தில் தனி இடம் இருந்தது
புற முதுகை காட்டிய எதிரிக்கோ
ஒரு சொட்டு இடம் இல்லை
தொலை தூரம் ஓடிடு
காலம் தன் கடமையைச் செய்யும்
வரலாறு வழிகட்டி ஆகும்
இவன் வந்தாள் இடியாக இடிக்கும்
தொடை நடுங்கி குடல் உருவத் துடிக்கும்
அடிமைகள் ஒரு பக்கம் தஞ்சம்
ஆண்டவன் போல் நெஞ்சம் வெல்லும்
For the land that filled grave pits
There was a distinct place in history
For the enemy who showed their back in cowardice
There isn't even a drop of space
Run far away
Time will do its duty
History will become the guiding light
When he arrives, it strikes like thunder
Thighs tremble and guts writhe in panic
Slaves take refuge on one side
His heart conquers like God
உலகத்தின் நாட்டுல நடக்குற
அரசியல் நுட்பங்கள் அணைத்தையும் அறிவான்
பார்வைக்கு நல்லவன் போல வேடங்கள் போடும்
பாவிகள் மனிதன்
பகை சுற்றி முற்றுகை இட்டும்
நேர்பட பேசுது இவனது குணங்கள்
In the world's nations
He knows all the political nuances
The sinful man who wears masks
To appear good to the eye
Though surrounded and besieged by enmity
His qualities speak with straightness and integrity
இந்த படை போதுமா
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் வேணுமா
இந்த படை போதுமா
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் வேணுமா
Is this army enough?
Do you want a little more?

உனக்கென ஒரு படை
தனக்கென தனி நடை
கலங்கரை விளக்கென
கரை தொட இருப்பவன்
புத்திக்கு உறைக்கட்டும்
நாங்கள் மண்ணுக்காய்
மலை சாய்த்த ஆட்கள்
An army just for you
A unique path for himself
Like a lighthouse
He stands ready to touch the shore
Let it register in your mind
We are the ones who moved mountains for our soil
எரிமலை வெடிக்குது
எதிரிக்கும் வேர்க்குது
வருகையைப் பறை சாற்றி
வானமே வணங்குது
வானமே இடிந்தாலும்
குழையாத மனம் கொண்டவன்
கரம் தந்தவன்
பணம் பார்த்து விலை போகாத
குணம் கொண்டவன் குலம் வென்றவன்
The volcano erupts
The enemy breaks into a sweat
Proclaiming his arrival with drums
Even the sky bows down
Even if the sky collapses
He possesses an unshakable heart
He gave a helping hand
He has a character that cannot be bought with money, he conquered his clan
Passing through many nights in poverty
வறுமையில் பல இரவுகள் கடந்து
வலிகளை இறை என எடுத்து
தனி ராஜ்ஜியம் ராணுவம்
இவனது கையில் இருக்கு பறைகள் முழக்கம்
கடல் வான் படை பலமுண்டு களம் கொண்டு
வென்றது இன்று உலகம் வியக்கும்
Taking pain as his nourishment
A separate kingdom and army are in his hands
The roar of drums echoes in his hands
With sea and air force strength, taking the field
The world marvels today at his victory
As drums roared, the rain arrived
பறை முழங்க மழை வந்தது
பகை முழங்க படை வந்தது
தலை எடுக்க தினம் தேடுது
தவறிழைக்க மனம் மறுக்குது
இனம் மீது இறக்கம் வேண்டாம்
மொழி மீது ஓர் ஏக்கம் வேண்டாம்
சக மனிதனை மனிதனைப் பார்த்தால்
அதுவே போதும் உலகம் போற்றும்
As enmity roared, the army arrived
Searching daily to raise its head
The heart refuses to do wrong
No need for pity over race
No need for longing over language
If you view a fellow human as a human
That alone is enough, the world will praise you
Do not look up in defiance

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Shakthi Thirumagan is a high-octane anthem celebrating courage, resilience, and righteous rebellion against oppression. The lyrics trace the protagonist's heritage back to ancient Chola bravery, describing how he overcame adversity, poverty, and foreign shores to build a formidable force. Rather than seeking blind vengeance or tribalism, he stands for human dignity, justice, and absolute fearlessness.
