Suthugira bhoomikulla
Ethanaiyo saami undu
Yethaachum oru saami
Engala kaaka venumada
Koodi nikkum sanangal ellaam
Kosam podungada
Kanji kekkum vayithukaaga
Kaasu podungadaa..aah….
Kaathalukku pallikoodam
Katta poren naanadi
Compound-u suvaril onna
Otta poren paaradi
Kannagaiyin sirpam onnu
Seththu pochu chennayila
Andha sela usurodu nikkuthu
En kannukulla
Natchathirathai
Nattu vecha palludaa
Kathi munayil yeri
Nikkum dhilludaa
Pathu viralum arjunaru villudaa
Enna pola evanirukkaan solludaa
Aalamara thopukulla
Vaazhamaram neeyadi
Manja muga azhaga paathu
Mayangi putten naanadi
Kaathalukku pallikoodam
Katta poren naanadi
Compound-u suvaril onna
Otta poren paaradi
Paarai pola thozhu mela
Onna naanum thookikittu
Indiayava pathu tharam
Suthi kaatuven
Unnudaiya porandha naalu
Ennaikkinnu neeyum sonna
100 kilo cake-u vaangi
Vizha nadathuven
Ainooru roopa kattu
Vaangi vandhu
Onn thozhlil maalai katti
Podattumaa
Senbagamae onn pera solli paadida
Peraasai vandhathadi
Kaathalukku pallikoodam
Katta poren naanadi
Compound-u suvaril onna
Otta poren paaradi
Kannagaiyin sirpam onnu
Seththu pochu chennayila
Andha sela usurodu nikkuthu
En kannukulla
Viligal irandinai
Vilakkaai maatri
Oomai vizhikkoru oliyai thaarungal
Karunai udhaviyum
Irandu karangal thaan
Vaazhkai muzhuvathum
Vanakkam sollungal
Munn azhagil MGR-u
Pinnazhagil kamala haasan
Aaru adi aambala naan

Paavadai satta potta pachakili
Poo pola pothi unna paapendi
Verenna enna pathi solla
Naan saraasari aalum illa

In this spinning world,
there are so many gods.
At least one of those gods
must protect us!
All you people gathered here,
shout out loud and cheer!
For the belly crying out for food,
toss some coins, oh yeah!
A school for love,
I am going to build, girl!
On its compound wall,
just watch me paste your picture!
A statue of Kannagi (legendary Tamil heroine)
was lost in Chennai,
but that very statue stands alive
right inside my eyes!
Like shining stars
are the teeth set in my smile!
Standing on the edge of a sword,
that is my courage, man!
My ten fingers are like Arjuna's bow!
Tell me, who else is there like me?
In a grove of banyan trees,
you are a graceful banana plant, girl!
Seeing your turmeric-glowing face,
I fell completely in love, girl!
A school for love,
I am going to build, girl!
On its compound wall,
just watch me paste your picture!
On these rock-solid shoulders of mine,
I will carry you up
and show you all of India
ten times over!
If you just tell me
the date of your birthday,
I will buy a hundred-kilo cake
and throw a grand celebration!
A fresh bundle of five-hundred-rupee notes—
shall I bring it,
weave a garland for your shoulders,
and place it on you?
O Shenbagam, to sing your name,
a great desire has taken over me!
A school for love,
I am going to build, girl!
On its compound wall,
just watch me paste your picture!
A statue of Kannagi (legendary Tamil heroine)
was lost in Chennai,
but that very statue stands alive
right inside my eyes!
Turn both your eyes
into shining lamps,
and give light to sightless eyes!
The two hands that offer
help and compassion,
bow down and salute them
all through your life!
From the front, I have the charm of MGR,
from behind, I look like Kamal Haasan,
and standing six feet tall,
I am Amitabh Bachchan, girl!
For your hands to hold,
I will be the walking stick!
I am the younger brother of Madurai Veeran (folk hero deity),
a dashing prize bull, girl!
My green parrot wearing a skirt and blouse,
I will shelter and care for you like a flower!
What else can I say about myself?
I am no ordinary man!
A school for love,
I am going to build, girl!
On its compound wall,
just watch me paste your picture!
A statue of Kannagi (legendary Tamil heroine)
was lost in Chennai,
but that very statue stands alive
right inside my eyes!
A school for love,
I am going to build, girl!
On its compound wall,
just watch me paste your picture!
