பச்ச மன்ன தொட்டு தொட்டு பொன்னாக ஆச்சு
நட்சத்திர விண்மினிகள் நம் தோட்டமாச்சு
பச்ச மன்ன தொட்டு தொட்டு பொன்னாக ஆச்சு
நட்சத்திர விண்மினிகள் நம் தோட்டமாச்சு
லட்சியத்தை சேரும் வரை வேறென்ன பேச்சு
Touching the raw soil repeatedly turned it into gold
The twinkling stars in the sky became our garden
Touching the raw soil repeatedly turned it into gold
The twinkling stars in the sky became our garden
Until we reach our goal, what else is there to speak of?
ஒற்றுமையினால் இந்த வெற்றி வந்தது
ஊரு உலகம் உன்ன சுற்றி வந்தது
This victory came through unity
The entire village and world came revolving around you
பச்ச மன்ன தொட்டு தொட்டு பொன்னாக ஆச்சு
நட்சத்திர விண்மினிகள் நம் தோட்டமாச்சு
Touching the raw soil repeatedly turned it into gold
The twinkling stars in the sky became our garden
........................
விதைச்ச விதை நெல்லு முளைக்கிற நேரம்
மனித மனங்களில் உண்டாச்சு ஈரம்
பிரிந்த மனிதர்கள் சேர்கின்ற நேரம்
பிளந்த பாறைகள் ஊற்றாக மாறும்
It is time for the sown paddy seeds to sprout
Kindness and warmth have emerged in human hearts
Female: It is the time for separated people to unite
Split rocks will turn into flowing water springs
கழுத்தை அறுத்தவர் கரம் தடுப்போம்
கதிரை அறுத்திட வழி வகுத்தோம்
மனசுக்கு வைத்தியம் நீ பார்க்க வந்தாய்
சொல்லி கொடுக்கும் காலம் புத்தகம் புதுசு
குழு :
அள்ளி கொடுக்கும் உந்தன் வள்ளல் மனசு
ஆஹ்
We will hold back the hands of those who betray
We paved the way to harvest the crop
Female: You arrived to heal the broken hearts
Male: Time that teaches us lessons is like a new book
Chorus: Your benevolent heart gives generously to all
Male: Aah
பச்ச மன்ன தொட்டு தொட்டு பொன்னாக ஆச்சு
நட்சத்திர விண்மினிகள் நம் தோட்டமாச்சு
Touching the raw soil repeatedly turned it into gold
The twinkling stars in the sky became our garden
ஆ.....ஆஹ்....ஆ......ஆஹ்.....
Aa....aah....aa…aah….
வெள்ளி நிலவினை வீட்டுக்கு அழைத்து
மின்னும் விளக்குகள் ஏற்றி வச்சாச்சு
கருவில் இருக்கிற குழந்தையும் நாள
தெருவில் நடக்கிற உரிமை உண்டாச்சு
Inviting the silver moon inside the home
Glittering lamps have been lit
Male: Even the unborn child inside the womb tomorrow
Has gained the right to walk freely on the street
கால மழை வர குரல் கொடுப்போம்
கண்ணில் மழை எனில் குடை பிடிப்போம்
சூரிய தீபம் என்று நீ வந்தாலே
சந்திரனுக்கு இப்போ என்ன வயசு
குழு :
சந்தித்தது உண்டா உங்க தங்க மனசு
We will raise our voice for timely rains to fall
If tears rain from the eyes, we will hold an umbrella
Male: Since you arrived like a glowing solar lamp
Female: What is the age of the moon now?
Chorus: Has anyone ever seen a golden heart like yours?
பச்ச மன்ன தொட்டு தொட்டு பொன்னாக ஆச்சு

ஒற்றுமையினால் இந்த வெற்றி ந்தது
ஊரு உலகம் உன்ன சுற்றி வந்தது
Aah....ae....play it...aeh....aeh....durrr……
