If two hands become four
The future belongs to the two of us
இரண்டு கைகள் நான்கானால்
இருவருக்கேதான் எதிர் காலம்
Run away, enemies!
Two tigers are coming
பகைவர்களே ஓடுங்கள்
புலிகளிரண்டு வருகின்றன
One blood, one mind
We call the mother who gave birth to us a deity
இரண்டு கைகள் நான்கானால்
இருவருக்கேதான் எதிர் காலம்
When saying 'mother', when saying 'child'
Our whole body trembles with emotion
A river in the eyes, a hundred poems
Mother's face is history itself
ரத்தம் ஒன்று சித்தம் ஒன்று
ஈன்றவளே தெய்வமென்போம்
A river in the eyes, a hundred poems
Mother's face is history itself
அன்னை என்றால் பிள்ளை என்றால்
ஆடுதம்மா தேகமெல்லாம்
கண்களில் ஆறு கவிதைகள் நூறு
அன்னையின் முகமே வரலாறு
If two hands become four
The future belongs to the two of us
கண்களில் ஆறு கவிதைகள் நூறு
அன்னையின் முகமே வரலாறு
Run away, enemies!
Two tigers are coming
இரண்டு கைகள் நான்கானால்
இருவருக்கேதான் எதிர் காலம்
Jasmine of love, pinnacle of virtue
Without her, we do not exist
பகைவர்களே ஓடுங்கள்
புலிகளிரண்டு வருகின்றன
Victorious power, heroic power
We have created it, there are no obstacles
லால லாலலால லாலலால லாலலால
லாலலால லாலலால லாலலால
Our life force is one, and on the day it departs
Let it depart on mother's lap
அன்பின் முல்லை பண்பின் எல்லை
அவள் இல்லையேல் நாங்கள் இல்லை
The Ganga flood flowing everywhere
Where does it ultimately go?
வெல்லும் சக்தி வீரசக்தி
படைத்து விட்டோம் தடைகளில்லை
If truth and honesty are found in the heart
What else is there to seek in life?
ஜீவனும் ஒன்று போவதும் ஓர் நாள்
அன்னையின் மடியில் போகட்டுமே
இரண்டு கைகள் நான்கானால்
இருவருக்கேதான் எதிர் காலம்
எங்கும் செல்லும் கங்கை வெள்ளம்
முடிவினிலே போவதெங்கே
நெஞ்சில் உண்மை நேர்மை கண்டால்
வாழ்க்கையிலே காண்பதென்ன
கீதையில் கேட்டோம் பாதையில் கண்டோம்
நாளைய உலகம் எங்களுக்கே
இரண்டு கைகள் நான்கானால்
இருவருக்கேதான் எதிர் காலம்
