Gathering and uniting our friendship
Hoist the flag, hoist it high
Hey, stringing together the rainbow
மேகம் கருத்தால்
அதில் மின்னல் வெடிக்கும்
ஹே கண்கள் செவந்தால்
அதில் நட்பு துடிக்கும்
When clouds turn dark
Lightning explodes within them
Hey, when eyes turn red with anger
Friendship throbs within them
நட்புக்கொரு கோயில்
இங்கு எவனும் கட்ட வில்ல
நட்பே ஒரு கோயில் அட
தனியா தேவையில்ல
No one has built a temple
For friendship here
Friendship itself is a temple
Hey, a separate one is not needed!

Dance and celebrate
With the bright blue sky
Gather and bond together
Hey, with a pure transparent heart
இன்னும் என்னடா
யார் நம்மை தடுப்பாா்
ஹே மண்ணில் புரள்வோம்
வா செக்க செவப்பா
What else is there, man?
Who can stop us?
Hey, let's roll on the dirt
Come on, bright red brother
வாழ்க்க ஒரு வானம்
அதில் நட்பே வண்ணம் ஆச்சு
வார்த்த இல்ல தோழா நீ
தான் டா எந்தன் மூச்சு
Life is like a sky
In which friendship has become the color
I have no words, my friend
You alone are my breath!
