தோட்டம் வீடுன்னு வாங்கிட்டா
ஆடாதே தலைகீழாவோ.....ஓ....
பூமி கொஞ்சுண்டு ஆடிட்டா போதும்பா
நீக்கூட உனதில்ல
Just because you bought a garden or a house,
Don't dance around upside down in pride!
If the Earth shakes just a little bit, that's enough,
Even you won't belong to yourself anymore!
தோட்டம் வீடுன்னு வாங்கிட்டா
ஆடாதே தலைகீழாவோ.....ஓ....
பூமி கொஞ்சுண்டு ஆடிட்டா போதும்பா

Don't dance around upside down in pride!
If the Earth shakes just a little bit, that's enough,
Even you won't belong to yourself anymore!
கத்தையா நீட்டுன்னா
மொத்தமா சாயுற
ஆள் நான் இல்ல
ஒத்தையா நின்னுதான்
ஊரையே வெல்லுவேன்
வா பயமில்ல
If someone flashes a knife at me,
To fall down completely,
I am not that kind of person!
Standing all alone,
I will conquer the whole town!
Come on, I have no fear!
எப்போதும் உண்மைய
சொல்லுவேன் சொல்லுவேன்
தப்பேதும் பார்த்துட்டா
கோபமா துள்ளுவேன்
ஆறடி ஒசர கடப்பாறை
நான் மோதினா ஒடையும் பெரும் பாறை
I will always tell
The truth, I will tell!
If I see anything wrong,
I will leap up in anger!
I am like a six-foot-tall crowbar;
If I collide, even a huge rock will break!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Naadillaa Kingudaa' from Singam Puli is an energetic protagonist introduction track that highlights the hero's unyielding nature, righteousness, and self-confidence. He proclaims himself as the ruler of his domain, warning opponents that he treats people exactly as they treat him—like a mirror reflecting kindness for kindness and fierce retaliation for hostility. The lyrics emphasize social equality, calling out societal materialism and hypocrisies where the corrupt are respected while the working class suffers. The protagonist urges people to stay humble, contribute meaningfully to society, and fight against injustice.
