Hae moonu kodi aambalainga
Motham thamizh naattula
Ae onna mattum vechikkitten
Ul koottu maaraappula
Ae kuttha vecha kozhi kunja
Kothittu povaan pulla
Ponnukku kaadhal vandhaa
Boomiyae rendu thundu
Aanukku kaadhal vandhaa
Aagaasam aaru thundu
Hae moonu kodi pombalainga
Motham thamizh naattula
Ae onna mattum pacha kuthi
Vachaendi ul naakkula
Vandhu unna thookka poren
Vallooru roobathula
Ae ponnukku kaadhal vandhaa
Boomiyae rendu thundu
Aanukku kaadhal vandhaa
Aagaasam aaru thundu
Hae moonu kodi pombalainga
Motham thamizh naattula
Ae onna mattum pacha kuthi
Vachaendi ul naakkula
Manasum manasum onnaanaa
Malaiyum kadugu aaghaadhaa
Edhiri edhiri vandhaalum
Adhiri pudhiri aagaadhaa
Yedari yedari vandhaakkaa
Eliyum puliyaa maaraadhaa
Madhura veeran saami pol
Parandhu parandhu paayaadhaa
Idi varumo mazhai varumo
Puyal varumo veyil varumo
Kalavaramo nilavaramo thadaigalai udaippen
Iru karamo iru maramo
Eri malaiyum udai padaumo
Ivan madiyil pudi padumo pagaivanai mudippaan
Kaadhal vandhaal… singathin ratham thaan
Silandhikku paayaadho
Hae moonu kodi pombalainga
Motham thamizh naattula
Ae onna mattum pacha kuthi
Vachaendi ul naakkula

Hey, there are thirty million men
in all of Tamil Nadu,
yet I kept only you
tucked close inside my sari drape.
Hey, like a roosting little chick,
he will swoop in and snatch you away, girl!
If a girl falls in love,
the earth splits into two pieces!
If a guy falls in love,
the sky shatters into six pieces!
Hey, there are thirty million women
in all of Tamil Nadu,
yet I tattooed only you
onto my inner tongue, girl!
I am coming to carry you away
in the form of a hawk!
Hey, if a girl falls in love,
the earth splits into two pieces!
If a guy falls in love,
the sky shatters into six pieces!
Hey, there are thirty million women
in all of Tamil Nadu,
yet I tattooed only you
onto my inner tongue, girl!
When two hearts unite as one,
won't a mountain shrink into a mustard seed?
Even if enemy after enemy comes,
won't they be blown to smithereens?
When obstacles make us stumble,
won't even a mouse turn into a tiger?
Like the folk deity Madurai Veeran,
won't it leap and strike through the air?
Come thunder or pouring rain,
come a storm or scorching heat,
chaos or trouble, I'll smash every barrier!
Whether two arms or two sturdy trees,
can even a volcano hold him back?
Can anyone hold him down? He will finish off the enemy!
When love strikes... won't the blood of a lion
surge into a tiny spider?
Hey, there are thirty million women
in all of Tamil Nadu,
yet I tattooed only you
onto my inner tongue, girl!
Enga... ahaan... hey... hey...
Hahaan hahaan hahaan!
Don't weave and duck away,
step up boldly and fight!
Storm right in and take charge,
flip them over and knock them flat, boy!
No matter how many enemy heads there are,
I'm going to count them all, girl!
Only after tossing them aside
will I come to tumble into your arms, girl!
Hey gorgeous, one-in-a-million beauty,
with that lovely waist and twice the charm,
the wave of battle to crush the foe
is reaching its absolute peak!
Hey...
If you crush the enemy to powder,
step by step I will come to you,
I will give you what you truly deserve,
I will surrender all that I have!
Come on, come on... I am your Kalaivani (goddess of arts),
and you are my kalavaani (crafty thief)!
There are thirty million men
in all of Tamil Nadu,
yet I kept only you
tucked close inside my sari drape.
Hey, like a roosting little chick,
he will swoop in and snatch you away, girl!
If a girl falls in love,
the earth splits into two pieces!
If a guy falls in love,
the sky shatters into six pieces!
Hey, there are thirty million men
in all of Tamil Nadu...
