If you ask what this challenge turf is,
It is always a hunt,
Once you step inside!
If you ask what this challenge turf is,
It is always a hunt,
Once you step inside!
One!
Life is a playing field!
Two!
Life is rewarding only when you win!
Three!
Honesty is our real wealth!
Four!
Love is our army's true strength!
Whistles soar high along with flying stones,
Even the tiger trembles in the game,
Happening right inside the boundary lines,
Competing is our town's way of life!
Playing across every street each single day,
If you have talent, it will lead the way!
Fighting hard for the gold and the bronze,
The Olympics is the native language of our town!
If you ask what this challenge turf is,
It is always a hunt,
Once you step inside!
If you ask what this challenge turf is,
It is always a hunt,
Once you step inside!
The Kabaddi chant pulses with energy,
Rhythms echo like an Udukkai (hourglass drum) on our lips,
The spear dance stands for raw courage,
It is valor that unites the entire town!
The youngsters step in and dominate the ground,
While the experienced ones lie low and strike!
The doors to our dreams will open wide,
As practice goes on every single day!
If you ask what this challenge turf is,
It is always a hunt,
Once you step inside!
If you ask what this challenge turf is,
It is always a hunt,
Once you step inside!
