The eye-dazzling
sun is Red, Red, Red, Red!
Across the earth you see,
half of it is Red, Red, Red, Red!
Flowing inside the body,
red blood is Red, Red, Red, Red!
The working people's
palms are Red, Red, Red, Red!
Every colour has its own worth,
but among all colours, red is the greatest!
Is red the colour of poverty?
Red is the colour that changes it!
O young Tamil
race, rise, rise, rise!
Worship wisdom
as God! Worship, worship, worship!
Reach out to the endless sky,
touch, touch, touch!
On this earth,
plant the moon, plant, plant, plant!
Education that opens one's eyes
has gone completely blind here!
Throw money and the door opens—
it has turned into a business!
Kalaimagal (goddess of learning)
went to school to enroll her daughter,
sold her veena (stringed instrument) to pay the fees,
and returned home!
Is this right? Is this right?
Haven't you realised
that education is a human right?
Is it fair? In a poor
person's home, is education just a lie?
For the mother's milk we drink,
do not demand a price!
The education one learns,
do not sell it for money!
The eye-dazzling
sun is Red, Red, Red, Red!
Across the earth you see,
half of it is Red, Red, Red, Red!
Flowing inside the body,
red blood is Red, Red, Red, Red!
The working people's
palms are Red, Red, Red, Red!
My Tamil Nadu's
population is sixty million!
India's
population is one billion!
Before humans
devour each other,
stand up and put a stop to it!
Your name is written on your grain of rice,
so work hard and earn your meal!
My child, my child,
this is a competitive world!
Compete and rush ahead!
Little one, this is not a country,
it is a jungle where tigers live!
Love the world,
but do not trust anyone!
Even when you sleep,
keep one eye open!
The eye-dazzling
sun is Red, Red, Red, Red!
Across the earth you see,
half of it is Red, Red, Red, Red!
Flowing inside the body,
red blood is Red, Red, Red, Red!
The working people's
palms are Red, Red, Red, Red!
Every colour has its own worth,
but among all colours, red is the greatest!
Is red the colour of poverty?
Red is the colour that changes it!
O young Tamil
race, rise, rise, rise!
Worship wisdom
as God! Worship, worship, worship!
Reach out to the endless sky,
touch, touch, touch!
On this earth,
plant the moon, plant, plant, plant!
