Sooraavalida
Naanga thottaalae seerum pulida
Yeri adida
Ooru onnaaga vaettu vedidaa
Puzhudhi odamboda
Aadumada kaalu
Ezhudhi maalaathu
Enga varalaaru
Vaal eduthu vagidu eduthu
Seevum seemada
Enga thekku thisaikaaranukku
Pullum vaaluda
{Nimirndhu ninna karudhu
Nermaiyinna marudhu} (2)

Sooraavalidaa…..
He is a whirlwind!
Touch us, and we strike like furious tigers!
Charge in and strike!
Let the whole town unite and burst firecrackers!
Covered in dust,
our feet will stomp and dance!
Words can never finish telling
the story of our proud history!
Drawing swords and striking clean,
this is the land that slashes through!
For us folks from the southern land,
even a blade of grass is a sword!
Standing tall like a ripe ear of grain,
that is Marudhu, the soul of honesty!
He is a whirlwind!
Touch us, and we strike like furious tigers!
Charge in and strike!
Let the whole town unite and burst firecrackers!
Like wild palm trees,
our skin may be dark,
yet our hearts are pure and white!
Heavy sacks upon our backs,
we carry day after day,
yet no burden weighs down our hearts... ah...
Hardened by constant work,
our palms have lost their lines,
yet we have no worries at all!
More than the sacred soil
that we smear on our foreheads,
even holy ash is not greater!
We will gladly lift heavy loads
upon our heads,
but into our heads,
we will never let pride enter!
Standing tall like a ripe ear of grain,
that is Marudhu, the soul of honesty!
He is a whirlwind!
Touch us, and we strike like furious tigers!
Charge in and strike!
Let the whole town unite and burst firecrackers!
He is a fierce Jallikattu bull,
ready to take down anyone who crosses him!
If someone stirs up pointless trouble,
he will make them drape a saree in shame!
Like sparkling fireworks,
his laughter overflows with joy!
Without showing off,
he gives generously to all!
Like a rain-soaked palm tree,
his frame stands tall,
and his good heart is as grand
as a mighty mountain!
There may be dirt on our shirts,
and plenty of bold swagger in us,
yet our dignity and pride remain unmatched!
In the glowing light of our sweat,
we will chase away the darkness!
Unchanging love is our greatest wealth!
If some worthless punk
comes acting tough and picking fights,
we will tame his arrogance on the spot!
Anyone who dares to speak
disrespectfully of our village women,
we will hunt down and rip apart!
Believing the Mother Goddess is our refuge,
we place all our faith in her,
and knowing she is the deity who protects us,
we offer our humble worship!
Standing tall like a ripe ear of grain,
that is Marudhu, the soul of honesty!
Standing tall like a ripe ear of grain,
standing tall, standing proud,
that is Marudhu, the soul of honesty,
Marudhu, Marudhu!
Standing tall like a ripe ear of grain,
that is Marudhu, the soul of honesty!
He is a whirlwind...!
