இனி ஒரு விதி செய்வோம்
தனி ஒருவனாய் வெல்வோம்
வெற்றிக்கென்னடா வேக தடைகள்
போர் செய்வோம்
Let us make a new destiny now
Let us conquer as a lone warrior
Why fear speed bumps on the road to victory?
Let us wage war
தன்னை தருபவன் தலைவன்
உன்னை வீழ்ப்பவன் வலியன்
நோட்டை வீசி உன்
ஓட்டை பெறுபவன் பேர் திருடன்
A true leader is one who gives himself completely
A merchant is one who sells you out
One who throws currency notes to get your vote
Is a master thief
முயலிடம் ஆமைகள்
ஆரம்பத்தில் தோற்கும்
முடிவிலே ஆமை முந்தி
முயலை ஜெய்க்கும்
In a race against rabbits, tortoises
May seem to lose in the beginning
In the end, the tortoise surges ahead
And triumphs over the rabbit
உலகமே எதை செய்தாலும்
எள்ளி நகை ஆடும்
ஜெயித்தபின் தலைமேல்
வைத்து ஆடிடும்
Whatever you try to achieve, the world
Will mock and laugh at you
Once you win, upon their heads
They will exalt you and celebrate
தலைவா........
தலைவா நீ வா
அலை கடல் போல
யாருக்கும் அடங்காமல் வா
Oh Leader...
Oh leader, come forth
Like the surging ocean waves
Come unbowed and unyielding to anyone
தலைவா.......
தலைவா நீ வா
தொடும் தூரத்தில்
தொடும் வானம் முன்னேறி வா
Oh Leader...
Oh leader, come forth
Within reachable distance
Advance forward like the horizon
இனி ஒரு விதி செய்வோம்
தனி ஒருவனாய் வெல்வோம்
வெற்றிக்கென்னடா வேக தடைகள்
போர் செய்வோம்
Let us make a new destiny now
Let us conquer as a lone warrior
Why fear speed bumps on the road to victory?
Let us wage war
தன்னை தருபவன் தலைவன்
உன்னை வீழ்ப்பவன் வலியன்
நோட்டை வீசி உன்
ஓட்டை பெறுபவன் பேர் திருடன்
A true leader is one who gives himself completely
A merchant is one who sells you out
One who throws currency notes to get your vote
Is a master thief

விழும் தூறல் வீணாகாது
அது நதியாகி கரை மீறி ஓடும்
அவமானம் உன்னை அணைக்காது
உன் வேள்விக்கு நெருப்பாக மாறும்
The falling rain drops do not go to waste
It becomes a river and overflows its banks
Humiliation will not extinguish you
It will turn into the fire for your sacrificial ritual
அடிக்கும் காற்று
பறவையும் பறக்கும்
பேப்பரும் பறக்கும்
காற்றோடுதான்
When a strong wind blows
Both the bird flies
And the paper flies too
Along with the wind
காற்று நின்றால்
தெரிந்திடும் நண்பா
பறவை மற்றும் பறந்து செல்லும்
காகிதம் மன்னோடுதான்
When the wind stops
It will be clear, my friend
Only the bird continues to fly
While paper falls to the ground
தலைவா.......
தலைவா நீ வா
அலை கடல் போல
யாருக்கும் அடங்காமல் வா
Oh Leader...
Oh leader, come forth
Like the surging ocean waves
Come unbowed and unyielding to anyone
தலைவா.......
தலைவா நீ வா
தொடும் தூரத்தில்
தொடும் வானம் முன்னேறி வா
Oh Leader...
Oh leader, come forth
Within reachable distance
Advance forward like the horizon

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This powerful anthem from LKG serves as a political call-to-action and a motivational song about true leadership versus political corruption. It draws a stark contrast between a genuine leader who selflessly sacrifices for the people and corrupt politicians who bribe voters with cash for votes, labeling the latter as master thieves and merchants of deceit.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Metaphor
“Un velvikku neruppaaga maarum”
Compares corrupt politicians to merchants (vanigan) and thieves (per thirudan), and compares insult (avamaanam) to sacrificial fire (velvikku neruppu).
Emoni / Rhyme (Monai and Ethirai)
“Thannai tharubavan thalaivan / Unnai virpavan vanigan”
Uses Tamil second-letter rhyming (Ethirai) across lines such as 'Thannai' and 'Unnai', as well as 'Thalaivan' and 'Vanigan'.
Allegory
“Paravai matrum paranthu sellum / Kaagitham mannodu thaan”
Uses the fable of the wind, bird, and paper to illustrate that artificial boost (wind) can make weak things fly momentarily, but intrinsic strength (the bird) is required to sustain long-term flight.

Trivia
The track from the political satire movie 'LKG' (2019) starring RJ Balaji reflects real-world political dynamics in Tamil Nadu politics, where money power during elections is a heavily debated theme.
