| Parundhaaguthu oor kuruvi | The humble house sparrow is transforming into a soaring eagle, |
| Vanangadhathu en piravi | My existence is one that refuses to bow down to anyone. |
| Adanga pala madangavuren | I multiply my effort manifold without surrendering, |
| Thadutha adha odachi varuven | If anyone blocks my path, I will smash through and emerge victorious. |

பருந்தாகுது ஊர்க்குருவி
வணங்காதது என் பிறவி
அடங்கா பல மடங்காவுறேன்
தடுத்தா அத ஒடைச்சி வருவேன்
The humble house sparrow is transforming into a soaring eagle,
My existence is one that refuses to bow down to anyone.
I multiply my effort manifold without surrendering,
If anyone blocks my path, I will smash through and emerge victorious.
இப்ப வந்து மோதுடா
கிட்ட வந்து பாருடா
கட்டறுந்த காளை
நெஞ்சு மேல ஏற போதுடா
Come clash with me now, if you dare!
Come close and witness my power!
Like an untamed bull breaking free from its restraints,
It is about to step right over your chest!
திமிருடா
திமிர திமிர நிமிருடா
நிலமை நிலமை உணருடா
பயணம் பயணம் தொடருடா
This is pure pride and defiance!
Stand tall and hold your head high with pride!
Feel the ground beneath you and realize your strength!
Keep moving forward, let the journey continue!
த்தா.....இப்ப நானும் வேறடா
கிட்ட வந்து பாருடா......
பாருடா............
Look at me now, I am entirely transformed!
Come close and see for yourself!
Just look at me now!
Parundhaaguthu oor kuruvi
The humble house sparrow is transforming into a soaring eagle,
Vanangadhathu en piravi
My existence is one that refuses to bow down to anyone.
Adanga pala madangavuren
I multiply my effort manifold without surrendering,
Thadutha adha odachi varuven
If anyone blocks my path, I will smash through and emerge victorious.
Ippa vandhu modhu daa
Come clash with me now, if you dare!
Kitta vandhu paaru daa
Come close and witness my power!
Kattarundha kaala
Like an untamed bull breaking free from its restraints,
Nenju mela yera podhu daa
It is about to step right over your chest!
Thimirudaa…
This is pure pride and defiance!
Thimira thimira nimuru daa
Stand tall and hold your head high with pride!
Nilama nilama unaru daa
Feel the ground beneath you and realize your strength!
Payanam payanam thodaru daa
Keep moving forward, let the journey continue!
Thaa ippa naanum vera daa
Look at me now, I am entirely transformed!
Kitta vandhu paaru daa
Come close and see for yourself!
Paaru daa……………..
Just look at me now!
