Suriyan kudaiya neetti
Sooravali nadiya kaatti
Veerame engum vidhaikka
Ingu vandhaane
Konjame naanga sirikka
Pangu thandhaane
Aagasa mugila kootti
Boologam muzhusum otti
Minnalaa innal thanikka
Thayavu senjaane
Thooralaa manna nanchcha
Dharuma nenjaane
Hey eyyy
Oruthan vaal aavaan
Matroruthan por seivaan
Oruthan garjana
Oruthan kallana
Irattai piralayame
Aanai oruthan senai oruthan
Inanju valam varum kalagame
Izhukkum moochilum

Nooraandu vaazhanume…
Heyy eyy

Holding up the sun like an umbrella,
Guiding the whirlwind like a flowing river,
To sow courage everywhere,
He came here!
Just so we could smile a little,
He gave us our share of joy!
Gathering the clouds across the sky,
Spreading them over the whole world,
Like lightning that clears away our troubles,
He showed us his grace!
Like gentle rain soaking the dry earth,
He is a man of noble heart!
Hey ey!
One becomes the sword,
The other fights the battle!
One is the ferocious roar,
The other is an unyielding rock!
Together, a twin storm of destruction!
One is the command, one is the army,
A rebellion marching side by side!
In every breath they draw,
And in their words, the warmth of friendship lives!
May they live for a hundred years!
Hey ey!
One becomes the striking force,
The other breaks through every barrier!
One is a demon, one is a king,
Yet of one single mind and heart!
One is the rushing wind, one is the glowing ember,
Together, a fire that burns down every foe!
In every breath they draw and in every word they speak,
The warmth of friendship lives on!
May they live for a hundred years!
Holding up the sun like an umbrella,
Guiding the whirlwind like a flowing river,
To sow courage everywhere,
He came here!
Just so we could smile a little,
He gave us our share of joy...

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Monai (Initial Alliteration)

Suriyan kudaiya neetti / Sooravali nadiya kaatti

Repetition of the initial 'S' sound in 'Suriyan' and 'Sooravali' creates a strong rhythmic cadence.

Edukai (Second Letter Rhyme)

Oruthan vaal aavaan / Matroruthan por seivaan

The second consonant 'r' rhymes across 'Oruthan' and 'Matroruthan'.

Metaphor (Uvamai)

Kaaththu oruththan kangu oruththan / Pathi eezhinjidum neruppare

Compares one friend to the wind and the other to live fire embers, illustrating how their combination produces a destructive firestorm.

Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navitchi)

Suriyan kudaiya neetti / Boologam muzhusum otti

Uses cosmic exaggeration—using the sun as an umbrella and pasting clouds across the earth—to emphasize heroic stature.
