சூறையாட வாடா
சுத்தி அல்லி தாக்குற சூரா
வாழ் எங்களுக்காக ஏந்தி
உன் எல்லை ஏறி வா வா
Come to plunder and conquer!
ஹேய் தக்கிட்ட...(2)
Hey... Thakkita...
தாண்டி வாடா வீரா
வந்து தஞ்சம் தங்கிட்டு போடா
உன் மல்லுக்கு சொல்லுக்கும் முன்னாடி
எவன் நிக்கப்போறன் நேரா
Leap forward and come, brave warrior!
Come, offer refuge, stay a while, and go.
Before your physical strength and word,
Who can stand directly face-to-face?
ஹேய் தக்கிட்ட...(2)
Hey... Thakkita...
சம்பா மண்ணுக்குள்ளே
கொட்டி பொத்தி வெச்ச
நேத்தி கடனை ஏத்துக்கோ
ஏறி மிதிச்சுத்தான்
பேய அடக்கித்தான்
எங்க பாவம் தீத்துக்கோ
Within this fertile Samba soil,
Treasured and kept safe and hidden,
Accept this essential, sacred debt owed.
Trample upon them fiercely,
Subdue the evil spirits,
Cleanse and resolve all our sins and suffering!
ஹேய் தக்கிட்ட...
ந நானா ந நானா ந
ஹேய் ...
Hey... Thakkita...
Na nana nana nana
Hey!
சொன்ன சொல்ல காத்துட்டு
தட்டிப்பறி வா முட்ட
நெஞ்சுக்குள்ள ஒத்தையா நிக்குற
நீதி சொல்லிட வா
You protected the word you gave,
Come charge ahead and snatch back what was lost, fool!
Standing alone inside our hearts,
Come to deliver ultimate justice!
அக்கம் பக்கம் தாக்குற
ஒட்டு மொத்த சூழ்ச்சியை
வஞ்சிக்கணும் வெட்டியே தள்ளி தான்
வாழ வெச்சிட வா
Attacking from all sides,
All these grand conspiracies,
Cut down the deceitful ones, cast them aside,
Come to make us live and thrive!
தணியாத பசியோ
தொட முடியாத பகையோ
மாறிக்கிட்டா திங்க வைக்கும்
மீறிப்புட்டா சிக்க வைக்கும்
திசையோடு அறியாத
புதுப்பாதை பிறந்தாச்சு
பொங்குற பொங்கலை
வந்துரு வந்துருடா
Is it an unquenchable hunger?
Or an untouched, distant enmity?
If you cross paths, it will consume you,
If you exceed limits, it will trap you completely.
Unaware of conventional directions,
A brand new path has been born!
Like an overflowing, boiling celebration,
Come on, come right now!
சூறையாட வாடா
சுத்தி அல்லி தாக்குற சூரா
வாழ் எங்களுக்காக ஏந்தி
உன் எல்லை ஏறி வா வா
Come to plunder and strike!
O hero who sweeps and attacks everything around!
Wielding the sword on our behalf,
Cross your boundaries and come, hey!
தாண்டி வாடா வீரா
வந்து தஞ்சம் தங்கிட்டு போடா
உன் மல்லுக்கு சொல்லுக்கும் முன்னாடி
எவன் நிக்கப்போறன் நேரா
