போர் ஒன்றை நான் தொடங்க
பறையோடு நீ முழங்க
சங்கே சங்கே
As I begin
A war of my own,
Resound along with the Parai drum,
O Conch, O Conch!
இரவெல்லாம் ஒலி அடங்க
முடியாமல் நீ முழங்க
சங்கே சங்கே
All through the night,
Without letting the sound die down,
Sound unceasingly,
O Conch, O Conch!
ஓநாய்கள் காடொன்று
கண்ணே தீ பந்தம்
என் மூச்சு கற்றாலே
காடே தீ பற்றும்
The forest is filled with wolves,
My eyes are flaming torches.
By the breath of my wind,
The whole forest will catch fire.
சாத்தான் என்று
ஆனேன் இன்று
அங்கிங்கெங்கும் சொல் சங்கே
That I have turned into
A devil today,
Proclaim everywhere, O Conch...
சங்கே... முழங்கு சங்கே
சங்கே... முழங்கு சங்கே
O Conch... sound aloud, O Conch!
O Conch... sound aloud, O Conch!
போர் ஒன்றை நான் தொடங்க
பறையோடு நீ முழங்க
சங்கே சங்கே
As I begin
A war of my own,
Resound along with the Parai drum,
O Conch, O Conch!
இரவெல்லாம் ஒலி அடங்க
முடியாமல் நீ முழங்க
சங்கே சங்கே
All through the night,
Without letting the sound die down,
Sound unceasingly,
O Conch, O Conch!
அம்சங்கள் பிழையென்று
உச்சத்தில் நீ முழங்கு
சங்கே .....
Proclaiming fear to be a flaw,
Resound at the highest pitch,
O Conch..
நான் எந்தன் வழியென்று
வான் எங்கும் நீ முழங்கு
சங்கே ....
Declaring this is my own path,
Resound across the sky,
O Conch...
தூரத்தில் விடை என்று
ஊரே சொன்னாலும்
பக்கத்தில் முடிவென்று
நம்பும் என் உள்ளம்
Even if the whole town says
The answer lies far away,
That the destination is near,
My heart firmly believes.
பின்னே செல்லும்
எண்ணம் இல்லை
அங்கிங்கெங்கும் சொல்
சங்கே .....
To step backwards,
I have no intention.
Proclaim everywhere,
O Conch...
சங்கே ...முழங்கு சங்கே
சங்கே ...முழங்கு சங்கே
O Conch... sound aloud, O Conch!
O Conch... sound aloud, O Conch!
தடை என்ன வந்தாலும்
அதை மீறி நீ முழங்கு
சங்கே சங்கே
Whatever obstacle comes,
Resound defying it,
O Conch, O Conch...
இடி நூறு விழுந்தாலும்
உடையாமல் நீ முழங்கு
சங்கே சங்கே
Even if a hundred thunders strike,
Resound without breaking,
O Conch, O Conch!
எங்கெங்கும் குழப்பங்கள்
யாரும் துணை இல்லை
முகம் இல்லா பார்வைகள்
காண வழி இல்லை
Confusion reigns everywhere,
There is no companion nearby,
Faceless enemies,
No way to spot them.
ஆனால் என்னில்
அச்சம் இல்லை
அங்கிங்கெங்கும் சொல்
சங்கே .....
Yet within me,
There is no fear.
Proclaim everywhere,
O Conch...
சங்கே ...முழங்கு சங்கே
சங்கே ...முழங்கு சங்கே
சங்கே ...முழங்கு சங்கே
சங்கே ....சங்கே
O Conch... sound aloud, O Conch!
O Conch... sound aloud, O Conch!
O Conch... sound aloud, O Conch!
O Conch... O Conch...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a fiery call to war and self-reliance sung by a protagonist who finds himself surrounded by unseen dangers and hostile forces. Invoking the traditional conch shell ('Sangae') and 'Parai' drum—symbols of announcement and battle heraldry—he commands the conch to roar without stopping across the skies to announce his unyielding arrival.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Apostrophe
“Paraiyodu nee muzhangu”
Addressing the conch shell ('Sangae') directly as a sentient companion and herald of war.
Metaphor
“Kannae thee pandham”
Comparing the protagonist's fiery determination to eyes made of burning torches ('thee pandham') and breath capable of setting a forest on fire.
Ethukai (Second-letter rhyming)
“Sathaan endru / Aanen indru”
Repetition of second letter pattern in consecutive lines (e.g., 'Sathaan' / 'Aanen').
Hyperbole
“Idi nooru vizhundhaalum”
Exaggerating resilience by stating the conch should echo unbroken even if a hundred thunderbolts fall.
