O new human,
Come to Earth.
O new human,
Come to Earth.
Casting steel,
Adding silicon,
Connecting wires and breathing in life,
Imprinting memory onto the hard disk,
With an indestructible body,
With a life that never fades away,
Grinding and pouring in the sixth sense,
An effort to awaken the seventh sense.
O new human,
Come to Earth.
O new human,
Come to Earth.
O new human,
Come to Earth.
Bring about change,
Elevate humankind,
With your power,
Transform the world.
To all living beings,
Be a source of good,
In every situation,
Remain true.
Enthira... Enthira... Enthira,
My Enthira!
Enthira... Enthira... Enthira,
My Enthira!
I possess the sixth sense,
You possess supreme intellect.
I have learned six languages,
You have mastered a hundred languages.
No trouble in the liver or pancreas,
No heart problems whatsoever.
A cunning human does not live long,
But Enthiran will never fall.
Whatever is born of a womb
Will surely perish,
But what is born of intellect
Will never die.
Here is my Enthiran,
He is immortal!
Here is my Enthiran,
He is immortal!
I am another Brahma (the creator),
And you are my son.
A son born to a man alone,
Yes, your name is Enthiran!
Hey hey hey...
O new human,
Come to Earth.
O new human,
Come to Earth.
O new human,
Come to Earth.
I am the language of intellect,
Asking "why" is my path.
My realm is boundless like the sky,
I am tomorrow's light of wisdom.
You took on a mortal body,
I took on a material form.
You experience a single lifetime,
I will witness many lifetimes.
Robo, Robo,
Even if I learn many languages,
My father tongue
Is Tamil, is it not?
Robo, Robo,
Even if I conquer many continents,
To my creator,
Am I not a devoted servant?
Aaha... Aaa... Aa...
O new human,
Come to Earth.
O new human,
Come to Earth.
O new human,
Come to Earth.
O new human,
Come to Earth.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Pudhiya Manitha is the majestic opening anthem of the blockbuster sci-fi film Enthiran (2010), celebrating the creation of the humanoid robot Chitti by scientist Dr. Vaseegaran. The song vividly weaves high-tech terminology with deep classical Tamil lyrical style to depict the birth of an artificial human who surpasses human physical and mental limitations. It presents a dialogue between creator and creation, highlighting the contrast between vulnerable human biology and indestructible robotic technology. Beyond technological grandeur, the lyrics explore profound philosophical motifs. The scientist proudly assumes the persona of Brahma the creator ('Naan innoru naanmuganae'), while the robot vows absolute humility, loyalty to its creator, and devotion to its native roots ('En thanthai mozhi Tamizh allavaa'). The song serves as a grand invitation to a futuristic era where artificial intelligence exists to serve, protect, and elevate mankind.
