Kambikara vetti
Kannu rendum eetti
Vambu thumbu senja
Kooru podum meesakaaran
Namma pethedutha manna
Kuthankurai sonna
Suthi adi suthi
Sooraiyadum roshakaaran
Ada sondha buddhi undu
Moolaikkulla
Sollu buddhi onnum thevai illa
Thathuvatha pulinju ootha valla
Roshathukku porantha mootha pulla
Kambikara vetti
Kannu rendum eetti
Vambu thumbu senja
Kooru podum meesakaaran

Kuthankurai sonna
Suthi adi suthi

Ada nammooru ponnunga nammela vaikira
Nambikkai mukkiyamada
Thonura thaandiyum nenja nimitthum

Dhoti with a striped border,
Both eyes sharp as spears,
If you stir up trouble with him,
This moustached man will cut you to pieces.
If you speak ill of the soil
that gave birth to us,
He will strike blow after blow
And tear you apart, this man of fierce pride!
He has his own sharp wits
inside his head,
He doesn't need anyone's advice.
He doesn't come pouring out philosophies,
He is the firstborn son of fierce pride!
Dhoti with a striped border,
Both eyes sharp as spears,
If you stir up trouble with him,
This moustached man will cut you to pieces.
If you speak ill of the soil
that gave birth to us,
He will strike blow after blow
And tear you apart, this man of fierce pride!
Sniffing around behind women's saris,
We must chop off that dog's tail, man!
The trust that our village girls place in us,
That trust is what matters most, man!
Look after the grandmother who stands tall with pride
Even past ninety years of age!
Smear the dust from beneath her golden feet on yourself
And wash away all your sins!
I swear it with all my might,
I am a son of Lord Karuppasamy!
A real man who can conquer anything!
Snapping the tethering post,
I am a raging bull charging free!
Watch him shake up
All eight surrounding villages!
Don't cross my path,
Don't play your sly fox tricks!
There is no fear in this chest,
Clash with me and find out!
Who could ever hide
Fire wrapped in cotton, man?
What will you conquer and rule?
How will you set things right and live?
With the beat of traditional drums,
Let the rhythm rock our village!
The lessons taught in school
Are something else over there,
But our rustic village lessons
Are what is needed right now, man!
How else will you see
This village rise into a proud land?
Hey, a winning tiger will never
Stoop down to eating grass!
It attacks one-on-one,
It craves the scent of fresh blood!
In a raging frenzy, it settles all scores!
This is crystal clear on its own without words,
Just hearing of it makes enemies tremble!
The courage that never bows before anyone—
Isn't that what our land will always revere?
The tiger attacks one-on-one,
It craves the scent of fresh blood!
In a raging frenzy, it settles all scores!
This is crystal clear on its own without words,
Just hearing of it makes enemies tremble!
The courage that never bows before anyone—
Isn't that what our land will always revere?
It will teach you this lesson!
Dhoti with a striped border,
Both eyes sharp as spears,
If you stir up trouble with him,
This moustached man will cut you to pieces.
If you speak ill of the soil
that gave birth to us,
He will strike blow after blow
And tear you apart, this man of fierce pride... bring it on!
