Do not tremble before incoming cruelty
Do not hesitate to face it head-on
The rampancy of wicked sinners
Is not good for this country
Your time will surely come
You have a duty, go make history!
நெஞ்சுக்கு பலம் வேண்டும்
அது நேர்மையில் வர வேண்டும்
நம் அறிவுக்கு புகழாரம்
அயல் நாட்டவர் தர வேண்டும்
உனக்கொரு பாதை உண்டு
பயணம் உண்டு பணிவாய் நடை போடு
Your heart needs inner strength
That strength must originate from honesty
A garland of praise for our intellect
Foreign nations should come forward to offer
You have a path meant for you
You have a journey, walk it with humility
துணிந்த பின் உன் தோள்களில்
இனி தோல்வி என்பதில்லை ஹாஹ்
Once you dare to take it on your shoulders
There is no such thing as defeat anymore, ha ha!
