கருவினில் எனை சுமந்து
தெருவினில் நீ நடந்தால்
தேரினில் ஊர்வலமே அம்மா
Carrying me in your womb
If you walk down the street
It feels like a temple chariot procession, oh mother
பூச்சாண்டி வரும் போது
முந்தானை திரை போர்த்தி
மன பயம் தீர்த்தாயே அம்மா
When the bogeyman comes
Covering me with the veil of your saree end
You dispelled the fear in my heart, oh mother
காணாத கடவுளுக்கு என்
கைகள் வணங்காது உனக்கே
என் உயிரே ஆரத்தி
To an unseen God
My hands will not fold in worship
My very life is an offering of light to you
தந்தானே நானே தானிந்ததனே
தானே நானே நோ
தந்தானே நானே தானிந்ததனே
தானே நானே நோ
Thanthaane naane thaaninthathane (Rhythmic refrain)
Thaane naane no (Rhythmic refrain)
Thanthaane naane thaaninthathane (Rhythmic refrain)
Thaane naane no (Rhythmic refrain)
வெள்ளம் வந்த ஊரினிலே
சிறை பட்ட ஊமைகளோ
காணும் கனவு கண்ணை கேலி
செய்யுமாம்
In a town submerged in floods
Like mute people held captive
Does the dream seen by the eyes
Mock the eyes themselves?
ரத்த கண்ணீர் சிந்தி மனம்
தினம் தினம் கலங்குதம்மா
கண்ணீர்ரை உன் கைகள்
துடைத்து போகுமா
Shedding tears of blood, my heart
Grieves continuously day after day, oh mother
Will your hands
Wipe away these tears?
உயிருள்ள கடவுள்ளை உன்னிருவில்
பார்கிறேன்
நீதான் நம்பிக்கை என்றுமே
A living God
I see in your form
You alone are my hope forever
தந்தானே நானே தானிந்ததனே
தானே நானே நோ
தந்தானே நானே தானிந்ததனே
தானே நானே நோ
Thanthaane naane thaaninthathane (Rhythmic refrain)
Thaane naane no (Rhythmic refrain)
Hey thanthaane naane thaaninthathane (Rhythmic refrain)

Munthaanai thirai porthi
Covering me with the veil of your saree end
Mana bayam theerthaaye amma
You dispelled the fear in my heart, oh mother

In a town submerged in floods
Sirai patta oomaigalo
Like mute people held captive
Kaanum kanavu kannai
Does the dream seen by the eyes
Keli seiyumaam
Mock the eyes themselves?
Raththa kanneer sinthi manam
Shedding tears of blood, my heart
Dhinam dhinam kalanguthamma
Grieves continuously day after day, oh mother
Kanneerai un kaigal
Will your hands
Thudaithu poguma

The 'Thanthaane Naane' motif, composed by Ravi Basrur, serves as the core emotional anchor of the entire KGF franchise. It symbolizes Rocky's relentless pursuit of power, which is entirely driven by the solemn promise he made to his dying mother during his childhood.
