நாலு காலு பாய்ச்சலிலே
ரெண்டு கண்ணு மேய்ச்சலிலே
எட்டு திசை கூச்சலிலே
தட்டுக்கிற ஓசையிலே
சுத்திவரான் சுழண்டு வரான்
புயல் போல எங்கும்
அட பாய்ந்து வரான் பறந்து வரான்
நம்ம துரை சிங்கம்
With a four-legged leap, eyes scanning like a graze, shouting in all eight directions, making a striking sound, he spins around everywhere like a storm, leaping and flying—our Lord Singam!

ஹேய் நானே இந்திரன்
நானே சந்திரன்
பொறந்த ஊருக்குள்ள
சூரியனை போல் சுத்தி வருவேன்
பாதி நல்லவன்
மீதி வல்லவன்
மோத வந்தவனை
எட்டி மிதிப்பேன் முட்டி உடைப்பேன்
Hey khaki uniform, I am the village head and mediator, there is no need for arresting here; no need to unnecessarily file cases for brotherly disputes; true courageous warriors never roam around showing off empty bravado.
ஹேய் காக்கி சட்டை
நாட்டாம நானு
கைது பண்ணும் வேலை இல்லை
அண்ணன் தம்பி சண்டைக்கு வீணா
கேசு போட தேவை இல்லை
வீராதி வீரன் எல்லாம்
எப்போதுமே வீராப்பா திரிவதில்லை
Hey, shall I teach you? Hey, shall I shower it upon you? Hey, shall I teach you, come come come! Hey, shall I shower it...

Hey, rice served from a mother's hand has a unique delicious taste; try eating it every day, your lifespan will reach a hundred years!
ஹே அம்மாவின் கையில் சோறு
அதில் உள்ள ருசியே வேறு
தினம் தோறும தின்னு பாரு
உன்னோட ஆயுள் நூறு
If your relatives and loved ones remain by your side, the troubles that come will fly far away.
சொந்த பந்தங்கள்
கூட இருந்தா
வந்த துன்பங்கள்
தூர பறக்கும்
If you dip and bathe in the Thamirabarani river, you will gain the vigor to rule the world; live alongside the village, and live with a good reputation like me!
தாமிரபரணியில
முங்கி குளிச்சா
தரணி ஆளுகிற
தெம்பு கிடைக்கும்
ஊரோட இருக்கணும்டா
என்ன போல பேரோட இருக்கணும்டா
Hey, shall I teach you? Will you accept it? Shall I teach you, come come, will you accept it...
ஹேய் கத்துதரவா
ஒத்துகிடவா
கத்துதரவா வா வா
ஒத்துகிடவா....ஆஅ....ஆ....ஆஅ...ஆஅ...
I am Indra, I am Chandran, I roam around my native town like the Sun.
நானே இந்திரன்

Hey, even a charging bull will step aside, if his name is spoken, even violence subsides; Thannaanae thaananae... pure gold born in Nalloor, he is a lion clad in khaki!
ஹே சீறிவரும்
காளை கூட ஒதுங்கும்
இவன் பேரை சொன்னா
வன்முறையும் அடங்கும்
தன்னானே தான்னானே தந்தானே
தன்னானே தான்னானே தந்தானே
நல்லூரில் பொறந்த ஒரு தங்கம்
இவன் காக்கிசட்டை போட்டா சிங்கம்
Karukku Vel Ayyanaar stands proudly; if any thief comes around, he will not let them steal and escape.

In our village, we have a habit: if anyone asks, we give generously in abundance; even if an enemy arrives, we treat them with respect; in any situation, we will stand superior!
எங்க ஊரில் ஒரு கெட்ட பழக்கம்
யாரும் கேட்டாலும் அள்ளி கொடுப்போம்
எதிரி வந்தாலும் நாங்கள் மதிப்போம்
எந்த நிலைமையிலும் மேல இருப்போம்
Our family deity is Arumugam (Lord Murugan), so we are always on the rise; shall I pray to grant you victory?
குல தெய்வம் ஆறுமுகம்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic song serves as a grand introduction to the protagonist Durai Singam, portraying his righteous nature, fierce courage, and deep rootedness in village culture. While he wears the khaki uniform of a police officer, he values village harmony, family bonds, and maternal love above mechanical law enforcement. He acts as a benevolent protector to his people and a terrifying force against wrongdoing.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Simile (Uwamai Ani)
“Porantha oorukkulla Sooriyanai pol suthi varuven”
Compares the hero's movement in his town to the glowing and authoritative presence of the Sun ('Sooriyanai pol').
Rhyme (Edhugai)
“Nallooril porantha oru thangam / Ivan kaakki satta potta singam”
Rhyming of second letters in 'thangam' and 'singam' to create a rhythmic cadence celebrating the protagonist.
Alliteration (Moonaai)
“Naanae indhiran Naanae chandhiran”
Repetition of initial consonants ('Naa') across parallel declarative statements.
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navortchi Ani)
“Hey sirivarum Kaala kooda othungum Ivan perai chonna Vanmuraiyum adangum”
Exaggerating the protagonist's aura, claiming even a charging bull steps aside and violence calms down upon hearing his name.
