King of kings!
Majestic ruler!
King of the Pandya lineage!
King Kadambavel!
Generation after generation,
Wearing a garland of neem flowers,
With an army fierce as tigers,
Here comes Seema Raja, the king of Singampatti!
Make way, make way, make way!
Paan paare paare paare
Paan paare paare paare paan
Make way, make way!
Paan paare paare paare
Paan paare paare paare paan
Make way, make way!
So that it reaches all eight surrounding villages,
Celebrate and burst crackers with a bang,
Shattering the skies in every direction,
Oh my people, take charge of your land!
It is coming, it is coming,
It is coming, it is coming,
The Valari (traditional throwing weapon) army!
As the enemy screams, babbles, and panics,
Leaping back in utter fear,
Raise your machetes, spears, and staffs,
Hold them high in the air, man!
Smash their knees to the ground,
Chase them down and strike!
Paan paare paare paare
Paan paare paare paare paan
Make way, make way!
So that it reaches all eight surrounding villages,
Celebrate and burst crackers with a bang,
Shattering the skies in every direction,
Oh my people, take charge of your land!
It is coming, it is coming,
It is coming, it is coming,
The mighty warrior army!
As the enemy screams, babbles, and panics,
Leaping back in utter fear,
With fire blazing on their brows,
This clan protected the Tamil land,
Living with truth and honor as their life,
This is a clan of true warriors!
Paan paare paare paare
Paan paare paare paare paan
Make way, make way!
At the temple of Sorimuthu Ayyanar,
When the Kavadi (devotional offering) is raised,
When we lift it together in unity,
Your flag will fly high!
At the temple of Sorimuthu Ayyanar,
When the Kavadi (devotional offering) is raised,
When we lift it together in unity,
Your flag will fly high!
At the temple of Sorimuthu Ayyanar,
When the Kavadi (devotional offering) is raised,
When we lift it together in unity,
Your flag will fly high!
Staying true to ancestral ways,
Without crossing the line,
Wishing to live with dignity,
Oh mothers of our clan,
Standing like the fortress guardian deity,
He protects our families and households!
Turning barren soil with sweat of brow,
Into rich harvest, this clan flourished,
If an intruder ever dares to step in,
They will be made to turn and run!
Oh my people, my people...
Paan paare paare paare
Paan paare paare paare paan
Make way, make way!
So that it reaches all eight surrounding villages,
Celebrate and burst crackers with a bang,
Shattering the skies in every direction,
Oh my people, take charge of your land!
It is coming, it is coming,
It is coming, it is coming,
The grand royal guard!
As the enemy screams, babbles, and panics,
Leaping back in utter fear,
Making the whole universe shake,
These are the people who ruled with might,
Whatever they touch turns to victory,
With millions and millions of triumphs!
Paan paare paare paare
Paan paare paare paare paan
Make way, make way!
Paan paare paare paare
Paan paare paare paare paan
Make way, make way!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Varuthu Varuthu' / 'Seemaraja Swag' serves as a grand hero-introduction anthem celebrating the royal heritage, valor, and righteousness of the protagonist Seemaraja. Drawing rich imagery from the ancient Pandiyan lineage and southern Tamil warlord traditions, the lyrics invoke royal heralds ('Paraak paraak'), indigenous weapons like the Valari throwing stick, and local guardian deities such as Sorimuthu Ayyanar. The song praises the heroic people of the soil who turn hard work into prosperity through sweat while standing fiercely defensive against outside oppressors.
