Tie your silk cloth,
dance the street play till clothes tear!
Raise the beat of the parai drum,
celebrate the rhythm, celebrate it all!
Place your bet and make a move,
gather up all your fiery passion!
Bringing all the people together as one,
we shout with pride that we are all one!
[Humming]
Who does not carry a heavy burden?
If you just step aside from it,
will it ever move away on its own, my friends?
Moruniye, Moruniye,
dance, Moruniye!
Even if a river rushes in with fury,
if you stand firm like a rock,
it will bend around without hitting you, my friends!
Moruniye, Moruniye,
dance, Moruniye!
The one who fell and gave up,
Chorus: the whole town will mock him!
Male: But the one who wept and rose back up,
Chorus: there is no one who can ever defeat him!
If you bury us in the dirt,
we will turn into a hidden treasure!
If you throw us into the sea,
we will rise back as a wave!
Tie your silk cloth,
dance the street play till clothes tear!
Raise the beat of the parai drum,
celebrate the rhythm, celebrate it all!
Place your bet and make a move,
gather up all your fiery passion!
Bringing all the people together as one,
we shout with pride that we are all one!
This soil that you stepped on and trampled
will lift your feet up high!
Moruniye, Moruniye,
That seed cut down and buried in the earth
will put blooming flowers back into your hands!
Moruniye, Moruniye,
The trees planted by a father
will bear fruit a hundredfold,
and they will look to offer their fruit
even to your grandchild!
A pearl-like rain
showers over the entire town,
just like that, when will your heart
ever open up and change?
We all came from a single mother's womb,
you and I are truly one and the same,
so do not look at each other as divided!
Tie your silk cloth,
dance the street play till clothes tear!
Raise the beat of the parai drum,
celebrate the rhythm, celebrate it all!
Place your bet and make a move,
gather up all your fiery passion!
Bringing all the people together as one,
we shout with pride that we are all one!
Who does not carry a heavy burden?
If you just step aside from it,
will it ever move away on its own, my friends?
Even if a river rushes in with fury,
if you stand firm like a rock,
it will bend around without hitting you, my friends!
[Humming...]
Without dividing by caste,
only to spread its sweet scent far and wide,
is that why He created the flower?
Moruniye, Moruniye,
dance, Moruniye!
With all the forests and climbing vines,
to make them the living veins of the earth,
is that why He painted everything green?
Moruniye, Moruniye,
dance, Moruniye!
Listen to the singing of the woodland cuckoo,
it seeks to fill the entire forest with song!
The sky and the earth join hands
to protect all of us,
yet within this world, our own kind
keeps trying to fight one another!
Throw away all your hatred,
this entire earth is your home,
go on and celebrate your life!
Tie your silk cloth,
dance the street play till clothes tear!
Raise the beat of the parai drum,
celebrate the rhythm, celebrate it all!
Place your bet and make a move,
gather up all your fiery passion!
Bringing all the people together as one,
we shout with pride that we are all one!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Moruniye from Chandramukhi 2 is a high-energy folk celebration song that combines infectious rhythm with deeply humanitarian lyrical themes. The song calls upon people to overcome adversity, unite across social divides, and celebrate life through dance, drumbeats, and community bonding. Through vivid nature imagery—such as seeds turning into flowers, trampled soil elevating feet, and rivers bending around immovable rocks—the lyrics emphasize resilience, self-belief, and the beauty of rising above struggles.

Trivia

Composed by Oscar-winning composer M. M. Keeravaani, Moruniye fuses traditional Tamil folk percussion (Parai) with upbeat contemporary production. Singer S. P. Charan brings vibrant energy reminiscent of his legendary father S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, while lyricist Vivek embeds strong anti-caste unity themes into what appears on the surface to be a festive dance track.
