நானே தான்
ராஜா மச்சி நானே
தான் மந்திரி காலத்த
தூக்கி போட்டு சுழட்டும்
ராஜா தந்திரி
I myself am the king, buddy
I myself am the minister
Tossing time into the air
Let royal strategy spin it around
நானே தான்
ராஜா மச்சி நானே
தான் மந்திரி காலத்த
தூக்கி போட்டு சுழட்டும்
ராஜா தந்திரி
I myself am the king, buddy
I myself am the minister
Tossing time into the air
Let royal strategy spin it around
காது மேல
பூவ கோத்தோம்
கையி மேல காச
பாத்தோம் கண்ண
கட்டி வித்த காட்டி
எங்களுக்கு பேர
சேத்தோம்
We fooled people smoothly
We saw money right in our hands
Showing tricks while blindfolding others
We earned a big reputation
மந்திரவாதியாட்டம்
நாங்க செஞ்சோம் தந்திரம்
கையில கெடச்சி போச்சி
காட்டி கொடுக்கும் எந்திரம்
Like a wizard
We performed magic tricks
Got right into our hands
A machine that reveals everything
காந்தியும்
வாங்கிடாரு நாட்டுக்காக
சுதந்திரம் காலத்த தாண்டி
அவர பாக்க நாங்க
கெளம்புறோம்
Even Gandhi obtained
Freedom for the country
To cross time and meet him
We are setting off now
தொலஞ்சாலும்
தேடி நீ அலைஞ்சாலும்
தொலைக்கும் முன்னாலே
நாங்க கண்டு புடிப்போம்
Even if it gets lost
Even if you wander searching for it
Before it goes missing
We will find it
வெளஞ்சாலும்
பூமியே அழிஞ்சாலும்
புளிவெட்டி அருள் வாக்கு
சொன்னா சரியா இருக்கும்
No matter what happens
Even if the earth perishes
Pulivetti's divine prediction
Will always come true
காலம் இங்கே
கயிறு கட்டி நாங்க இழுக்க
நகருதுங்க காத்து இப்போ
எங்க பக்கம் கொஞ்சம் பலமா
அடிக்குதுங்க
Tying time with a rope here
It moves as we pull it
The wind is blowing in our favor now
Blowing quite strongly
சரித்துரத்த
பொரட்டி போட ரெண்டு
சிங்கம் சீருதுங்க அடிச்ச
அடியில் தெறிச்சி ஓட
நல்ல நேரம் பொறக்குதுங்க
To turn history upside down
Two lions are charging ahead
To make everyone run scattered from the blow
A fortunate time is dawning
நானே தான்
ராஜா மச்சி நானே
தான் மந்திரி காலத்த
தூக்கி போட்டு சுழட்டும்
ராஜா தந்திரி
I myself am the king, buddy
I myself am the minister
Tossing time into the air
Let royal strategy spin it around
நானே தான்
ராஜா மச்சி நானே
தான் மந்திரி காலத்த
