சூடா ஒரு சூரியன் செஞ்சு
உள்ள அடச்சிக்கோ
முடி சூடா மன்னன்
நீ தான்னு நெனச்சிக்கோ
Make a burning sun inside yourself
Keep it locked within
An uncrowned king
Believe that you are one
யாரோ உன் எல்லைய போட்டா
உள்ள சிரிச்சிக்கோ
வெத உயரம் சொல்ல
அவன் யாரு முளைசிக்கோ
If someone draws a boundary for you
Laugh to yourself inside
To decide the height of a seed
Who is he? Sprout and grow!
தோத்தா தான் வெற்றியே
அட புரியும் புரிஞ்சிக்கோ
அந்த கடவுள் கை நம்பிக்கை
அத இறுக்கி புடிச்சிக்கோ
Only when you face defeat, victory's worth
Ah, will make sense, understand it!
That trust in God's guiding hand
Hold on to it tightly
மனசோட பாரம் ஏத்துனா
அது உண்ண கீழ இழுக்குமே
அத தூக்கி ஓரம் போடு
மேலே போலாமே
If you load burden onto your mind
It will pull you downwards
Cast it aside
Let us go higher
அட மேலே போலாமே
ஊரையே ஆள போலாமே
ஹே ஆள போலாமே
செமையா வாழ போலாமே
Ah, let us go higher
Let us go rule the town
Hey, let us go rule
Let us go live life splendidly
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
சூடா ஒரு சூரியன் செஞ்சு
உள்ள அடச்சிக்கோ
முடி சூடா மன்னன்
நீ தான்னு நெனச்சிக்கோ
Hei hei hei heheii...
Setting you aside, this world
Rolls forward, so what?
Stand firm and win
The whole world
Will turn to your side
When you step forward
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
யாரோ உன் எல்லைய போட்டா
உள்ள சிரிச்சிக்கோ
வெத உயரம் சொல்ல
அவன் யாரு முளைசிக்கோ
If wounds come, let them come
Should you lie down broken?
All the pain experienced will become armor
Forged for your soft cotton heart
ஹேய் ஹேய் ஹேய் ஹே ஹேய்
உண்ண ஒதுக்கிட்டு இந்த உலகமே
முன்னே உருளுது அதுக்கென்ன
நின்னு ஜெயிச்சிடு மொத்த உலகமும்
பக்கம் திரும்புனா நீ முன்ன
The path where success lies
Life runs in search of it
In the end, time adds and subtracts
And presents a completely different calculation
வந்தா வரட்டுமே காயம்
அட நொந்தா கெடக்கணும் நீயும்
பட்ட வலியெல்லாம் பஞ்சு மனசுக்கு
செஞ்ச கவசமா மாறும்
Even if you fall, if you rise back up
Your value multiplies a hundred times
Whether you are a pass or a fail
The thorns you stepped on will tell
வெற்றி கிடைக்குற பாதை
அதை தேடி பொழப்பு தான் ஓடும்
காலம் கடைசியா கூட்டி கழிச்சி தான்
வேற கணக்கு ஒண்ணு போடும்
நீ விழுந்தாலும் எழுந்த
உன் மதிப்பு நூறுஆகும்
நீ பாஸா இல்ல பெயிலா
நீ மிதிச்ச முள்ளு சொல்லும்
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
சூடா ஒரு சூரியன் செஞ்சு
உள்ள அடச்சிக்கோ
முடி சூடா மன்னன்
நீ தான்னு நெனச்சிக்கோ
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
யாரோ உன் எல்லைய போட்டா
உள்ள சிரிச்சிக்கோ
வெத உயரம் சொல்ல
அவன் யாரு முளைசிக்கோ
