வாடா நீயும் போராடுடா
முன்னே நின்னு விளையாடுடா
வெற்றி கோட்ட நீ போடுடா
போடா இன்னும் போராடுடா
Come on, fight it out man
Stand upfront and play man
Touch the fort of victory man
Go on, fight even more man
வட்ட வட்ட வானம்
நாம கையோடு
கிட்ட தட்ட வெற்றி
நம்ம கண்ணோடு
எட்ட எட்ட எழுந்து
நில்லு திமிரோடு
மூச்சு முட்ட முயற்சி
உண்டு நம்மோடு
The vast, circular sky
Is right in our hands
Victory is almost
Right in front of our eyes
Rise higher and higher
Stand tall with pride
Breathtaking effort
Is right within us
யாரால முடியாதுடா
காற்றுக்கு தடை ஏதுடா
ஆட்டத்தில் விழுந்தாலுமே
அவமானம் கிடையாதுடா
Who says it is impossible, man?
What obstacle can stop the wind, man?
Even if you fall in the game
There is no shame in it, man
வாடா நீயும் போராடுடா
முன்னே நின்னு விளையாடுடா
வெற்றி கோட்ட நீ போடுடா
போடா இன்னும் போராடுடா
Come on, fight it out man
Stand upfront and play man
Touch the fort of victory man
Go on, fight even more man
தோல்வி உன்ன செதுக்கும்
ஊரே உன்ன ஒதுக்கும்
காயம் எல்லாம் பதக்கம்
நீயும் கலங்காதே எதுக்கும்
Failure will sculpt you
The whole town will accept you
Every wound is a medal
Don't feel disheartened for anything
இங்க வேடிக்கை
வேடிக்கை பார்ப்பவனோ
வெறும் பேச்சு பேசி
வாய் வளர்ப்பான்
இங்க வெற்றி பார்வை
பார்ப்பவனோ
தனக்குள்ளேயே தீ வளர்ப்பான்
Here, a bystander
One who just watches the show
Speaks mere words
And only grows his mouth
Here, one with a vision of victory
One who looks ahead
Nurtures a fire within himself
அட எதுக்கு எதுக்கு
இந்த சோகம்
இன்னும் இருக்கு இருக்கும்
உள்ள வேகம்
அடங்காது பாரு உன் தாகம்
ஒரு மகுடம் உனதாகும்
Oh, why oh why
This sadness?
There is still
Speed and drive inside
Look, your thirst will not be quenched easily
A crown will become yours
யாரால முடியாதுடா
காற்றுக்கு தடை ஏதுடா
ஆட்டத்தில் விழுந்தாலுமே
அவமானம் கிடையாதுடா
Who says it is impossible, man?
What obstacle can stop the wind, man?
Even if you fall in the game
There is no shame in it, man
வாடா நீயும் போராடுடா
முன்னே நின்னு விளையாடுடா
வெற்றி கோட்ட நீ போடுடா
போடா இன்னும் போராடுடா
Come on, fight it out man
Stand upfront and play man
Touch the fort of victory man
Go on, fight even more man
இன்னும் என்ன பயமா
மோதி பாரு சுயமா
தோல்வி இன்றி சுகமா
அட வெற்றி மட்டும் வருமா
Why fear any longer?
Clash and see on your own strength
Is there pleasure without failure?
Oh, does victory come on its own?
நெஞ்ச கீறி கீறி
அதனுள்ளே
விதை போடு போடு உனக்குள்ளே
மரமாக அதுவும்
தான் மாறும்
இந்த உலகம் கை சேரும்
Tear open your heart
Inside it
Plant the seed deep within yourself
As a big tree
It will surely transform
This world will fall into your hands
இனி என்ன என்ன
மன ஏக்கம்
விழுந்தாலும் என்ன
அவமானம்
வெற்றி கோட்டுக்கிள்ள
ரொம்ப தூரம்
இனி வானம் அடி வாரம்
What is there now
For longing in the mind?
What if you fall down?
Is it a disgrace?
The fortress of victory is not
Very far away
Now the sky is just beneath our feet
யாரால முடியாதுடா
காற்றுக்கு தடை ஏதுடா
ஆட்டத்தில் விழுந்தாலுமே
அவமானம் கிடையாதுடா
Who says it is impossible, man?
What obstacle can stop the wind, man?
Even if you fall in the game
There is no shame in it, man
Yeahhh…
வாடா நீயும் போராடுடா
முன்னே நின்னு விளையாடுடா
வெற்றி கோட்ட நீ போடுடா
போடா இன்னும் போராடுடா...
