Let us write a new rule from now on
Let us win as a lone warrior
What speed breakers can stop our victory?
Let us fight the battle!
One who gives himself is a true leader
One who defeats you is a strong rival
Throwing cash to buy
your vote makes one a brazen thief!
Against the hare, the tortoise
might fall behind at first
In the end, the tortoise pulls ahead
and defeats the hare!
Whatever you try to do, the world
will only mock and laugh at you
Once you win, it will lift you on its head
and dance in celebration!
O Leader...
Come forth, O leader!
Like the rolling ocean waves,
come yielding to no one!
O Leader...
Come forth, O leader!
Just within your reach,
the sky awaits, advance and march on!
Let us write a new rule from now on
Let us win as a lone warrior
What speed breakers can stop our victory?
Let us fight the battle!
One who gives himself is a true leader
One who defeats you is a strong rival
Throwing cash to buy
your vote makes one a brazen thief!
Ooho o ooho
Ooho o ooho
Ooho o ooho
Ooho o ooho
A falling drizzle is never wasted
It will become a river and burst its banks
Humiliation will not extinguish you
It will only fuel the fire of your quest
When the wind blows hard,
the bird flies high,
and a piece of paper also flies,
drifting with the wind.
But when the wind stops,
you will see, my friend,
the bird will still keep soaring,
while the paper lies in the dust.
O Leader...
Come forth, O leader!
Like the rolling ocean waves,
come yielding to no one!
O Leader...
Come forth, O leader!
Just within your reach,
the sky awaits, advance and march on!
Ooho o ooho
Ooho o ooho
Ooho o ooho
Ooho o ooho
Let us write a new rule from now on
Let us win as a lone warrior
What speed breakers can stop our victory?
Let us fight the battle!
One who gives himself is a true leader
One who defeats you is a strong rival
Throwing cash to buy
your vote makes one a brazen thief!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
