ஹே ராஜாத்தி ராஜாத்தி ராஜா நானே
இன்றைக்கும் என்றைக்கும் வீரன் நானே
ஆகாயம் என்னோட எல்லைக் கோடு
ஆனந்த பூமி என் சொந்த வீடு
நோட்டு வாங்காம ஓட்டு போடு
போதை வாழ்க்கைக்கு பூட்டு போடு
கூடி கொண்டாடி பாட்டு பாடு
ஆடி காத்த போல் ஆட்டம் போடு
Hey, I am the king of kings!
Today and forever, I am a warrior!
The sky is my boundary line,
The joyful earth is my own home.
ஹே ராஜாத்தி ராஜாத்தி ராஜா நானே
இன்றைக்கும் என்றைக்கும் வீரன் நானே
நம்பிக்கை இல்லாமல் வாழாதடா
அம்மிக்கல் வைரக்கல் ஆகாதடா
Cast your vote without taking money,
Put a lock on an addicted life,
Gather together, celebrate, and sing a song,
Dance wildly like the wind of the Aadi month!
ஹே ஹே ஹே ஹே ஹேய்.....
Hey, I am the king of kings!
Today and forever, I am a warrior!
Do not live without hope, my friend,
A grinding stone can never turn into a diamond.
ஹே காலம் உந்தன் கையில் உண்டு
வீரம் கொண்டால் வெற்றி உண்டு
வாழ்க்கை என்ன வாழைத்தண்டு
வெட்டு ஒன்னு துண்டு ரெண்டு...
பாதி கண்ணால பாரு பொண்ணு
சாதி பாக்காம காதல் பண்ணு
Hei hei hei hei hei hei heyyyyyy
வாழும் போதே நீ வாழ எண்ணு
வாழும் வாழ்க்கை தான் ஒன்னே ஒன்னு
உலகம் முழுக்க ஜாலி
உனக்கு எதுக்கு வேலி
புயலை ஜெயிக்க வாடா புதிய பறவையா
Hey, when time comes into your hands,
If you hold courage, victory is yours.
What is life? It is like a banana stem,
One cut, split clean into two pieces.
ஹே ராஜாத்தி ராஜாத்தி ராஜா நானே
இன்றைக்கும் என்றைக்கும் வீரன் நானே
நம்பிக்கை இல்லாமல் வாழாதடா
அம்மிக்கல் வைரக்கல் ஆகாதடா
Look at a girl with a subtle glance,
Fall in love without looking at caste.
Think of living life to the fullest while you live,
The life you live is the only one you get.
ஹே நட்பு என்னும் கூட்டுக்குள்ளே
கூடி வாழ்வோம் குருவி போல
பூமி மேல பூத்திருப்போம்
வானவில்லின் வண்ணம் போல
நேற்றை இன்றைக்கோ பாக்காதேடா
நாளை உன் வாழ்க்கை தோற்க்காதடா
வீட்டு பிள்ளையா நீ இருந்து
கூண்டு கிளி போல வாழாதடா
இரவும் பகலும் ஆடு
இளமை உனக்கு ஈடு
உலகம் உனது வீடு
தனிமை எதுக்குடா
The whole world is full of joy,
Why do you need a fence to limit yourself?
Come to conquer the storm,
Like a brand new bird!
ஹே ராஜாத்தி ராஜாத்தி ராஜா நானே
இன்றைக்கும் என்றைக்கும் வீரன் நானே
ஹே நம்பிக்கை இல்லாமல் வாழாதடா
அம்மிக்கல் வைரக்கல் ஆகாதடா....
நோட்டு வாங்காம ஓட்டு போடு
போதை வாழ்க்கைக்கு பூட்டு போடு
கூடி கொண்டாடி பாட்டு பாடு
ஆடி காத்த போல் ஆட்டம் போடு

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic song serves as a motivational anthem urging youth to live courageously, break free from social restrictions, and embrace life to its fullest. It combines social consciousness—advocating against bribery during elections, caste discrimination, and substance addiction—with messages of optimism, unity, and self-worth. By emphasizing that life is short and unique, the lyrics inspire individuals to be bold, fly like a bird, and build strong bonds of friendship.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Simile (Upamai)
“Koodi vaazhvom kuruvi polae”
Compares living together harmoniously in friendship to sparrows dwelling together in a nest.
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Vaazhkai enna vaazhai thandu”
Compares life to a banana stem (vaazhai thandu) that can be severed in a single swift blow, highlighting life's transient nature.
Simile (Upamai)
“Koondu kili pola vaazhaathadaa”

Rhyme / Assonance (Edhugai)
