Hey hey hey hey
Kodu potta.. konnu podu..
Veli potta.. hey vetti podu..
Nethuvaraikum unga sattam
Innaikirunthu enga sattam
Kodu potta.. konnu podu..
Veli potta.. hey vetti podu..
Villa pola valanja kootam
Vela pola nimirnthu vittom
Sothula pangu ketta
Ada ellayapodu ellaya
Soththula pangu ketta
Avan thalaya podu thalaya
Ooraan veetu sattathukku
Ooru naadu masiyathu
Megam vanthu satham potta
Aagayamdhan ketkathu
Paatan pootan
Boomiya yaarum
Patta poda koodathu

Pambu kooda pazhagi
Pasum paala oothum saathi
Thappu thanda sencha
Ada appa theriyum sedhi
Kalli kaatu pullathaachi
Kalla petha veeranada
Jalli kaatu madu kizhicha
Sariyum kudalae maalaiyada
Setha kezhavan
Ezhuthi vecha
Ootha soththu veeramada
Kodu potta.. konnu podu..
Veli potta.. hey vetti podu..

If they draw a line, strike them down!
If they put up a fence, chop it down!
Until yesterday, it was your law!
From today, it is our law!
If they draw a line, strike them down!
If they put up a fence, chop it down!
We, the clan who once bent like a bow,
have now stood tall and straight like a spear!
If someone asks for a share of our land,
hey, draw a boundary line!
If he demands a share of our land,
cut off his head, his head!
To the rules of an outsider,
this land and town will never bow!
Just because the clouds make thunder,
the sky doesn't obey them!
On the land of our
grandfathers and ancestors,
no one has the right to claim a deed!
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
We are the kind who befriend snakes
and feed them fresh milk!
If anyone dares to do wrong,
then you will see what happens!
A pregnant mother from the cactus woods
gave birth to warriors tough as stone!
If a Jallikattu bull tears us open,
our spilled guts become our victory garland!
It is not a dead old man's
written-down
rotten property—this is true courage!
If they draw a line, strike them down!
If they put up a fence, chop it down!
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Our wind
smells of roasted fish!
Our water
hits hard like country liquor!
Even with barely any life left in him,
a farmer still survives!
For a prickly cactus to grow,
it doesn't need three seasons of rain!
If you lose eight plots of land,
hey, no one is truly poor!
Only if you lose your honor,
are you ruined until your dying day!
Honor is not just about a wife or a mother—
this soil is our honor too!
If you dig into our grandfather's forest,
the spring flowing through the red earth is blood!
Go, go, go!
If they draw a line, hey hey,
strike them down, hey hey!
If they put up a fence, hey hey,
hey, chop it down, hey hey!
Until yesterday, it was your law!
From today, it is our law!
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
If they draw a line, hey hey hey,
strike them down, hey hey hey!
If they put up a fence, hey hey hey,
hey, chop it down, hey hey hey!
Until yesterday, it was your law!
Until yesterday, it was your law!
Until yesterday, it was your law!
From today, it is our law!
