மூச்சிலே தீயுமாய்
நெஞ்சிலே காயமாய்
வறண்டு போன விழிகள் வாழுதே
With fire in every breath,
With a wound in the heart,
Parched eyes continue to live on,
காட்சி ஒன்றினைக் காட்டத்தான்
சாட்சி சொல்லுமே பூட்டுந்தான்
தேசமே உயிா்த்து எழு
Just to reveal a single sight,
Even the lock itself shall bear witness!
O Nation... rise up alive!
இம் மகிழ்மதி
அண்டத்தின் அதிபதி
விளம்பாய்! விளம்பாய்!
This Mahishmathi,
Lord of the cosmos,
Proclaim it... proclaim it!
நியாத்தின் ஞாலம் இஃதே
இயம்புவாய்! நெஞ்சியம்புவாய்!
This indeed is the realm of justice,
Speak it... let your heart speak it!
குறையேறா மாட்சியோடு
கறையுறாத மகிழ்மதி!
திரைவீழா ஆட்சியோடு
வரையிலா இம் மகிழ்மதி!
With unblemished majesty,
Undiminished Mahishmathi,
With an unyielding reign,
Boundless is this Mahishmathi!
தன்னிற் றுயிற்ற துளிா்களின்
அரணே என போற்றுவாய்!
எதிா்க்கும் பதா்களை
உதிா்த்து மாய்த்திடும்
அசுரனே என சாற்றுவாய்!
To the unique sprouts that emerge,
Praise it as their protective fortress!
The opposing useless husks,
Crushing and destroying them,
Proclaim it as a mighty force!
புாிசை மதகம் மீதிற்
வீற்றிடும் பதாகையே நீ வாழி!
இரு புரவியும் ஆதவனும்
பொன் மின்னும் அாியாசனமும்
வாழியே!
Seated atop the high battlements,
Long live the royal flag!
The twin horses and the sun,
And the glittering golden throne,
Long live!
Moochilae theeyumaai
With fire in every breath,
Nenjjilae kaayamaai
With a wound in the heart,
Varandu pona vizhigal vaazhudhae
Parched eyes continue to live on,
Kaatchi ondrinai kaattathaan
Just to reveal a single sight,
Saatchi sollumae poottundhaan
Even the lock itself shall bear witness!
Desamae.. uyirthu ezhu
O Nation... rise up alive!
Im magizhmadhi
This Mahishmathi,
Andathin adhibadhi
Lord of the cosmos,
Vilampaai…vilampaai!
Proclaim it... proclaim it!
Nyaayathin nyaalam ikhdhae
This indeed is the realm of justice,
Iyampuvaai..nenjjiyampuvaai
Speak it... let your heart speak it!
Kuraiyeraa maatchiyodu

With an unyielding reign,
Varaiyilaa im magizhmadhi
Boundless is this Mahishmathi!
Thannir ruyitra thulirgalin
To the unique sprouts that emerge,
Aranae ena potruvaai

Seated atop the high battlements,
Padhaagaiyae nee vaazhi
Long live the royal flag!
Iru puraviyum aadhavanum
The twin horses and the sun,
Pon minnum ariyaasanamum
And the glittering golden throne,
Vaazhiyae…
Long live!
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation

Poetic devices
Iyaibu (Rhyming Couplet)

End-rhyme matching '-aai' across opening lines creates a dramatic and poetic cadence.
Metaphor (Uruvagaimae)
“Aranae ena potruvaai”
Describing the kingdom as an impenetrable shield or fortress ('Aran') for its citizens.

Trivia
Lyricist Madhan Karky intentionally used classical Sangam-era Tamil vocabulary (such as 'purisai' for fortress wall and 'iyampuvaai' for declare) to elevate the kingdom's epic and historical atmosphere. Madhan Karky also invented the fictional language 'Kiliki' for the same film franchise.
