Thalaimurai thalai thookumaa
Pizhai theerkumaa
Oru punidha bhoomiyil
Por indri naam ondraai
Serum naal vaaradha
Viduthalai vazhi kaatumaa
Vilakketrumaa
Siru manidha sathiyil
Mel ennum keezh ennum
Kolangal maradha
Thai nilam engum
Thazhvugal illai
Maanudam engum
Pirivinaiyin peru vali thaangum
Thalaimurai thalai thookumaa
Pizhai theerkumaa
Oru punidha bhoomiyil
Greendangal thorkkum
Athigaaram valigalai kootum

Uravinai maattrum
Agathigal aakkum
Vali vaer thaangum
Thaayae maraindha pinnaal
Thaayagam inithaagumo
Ezhukira kobam bathil thaedumo

Will this generation hold its head high?
Will it right these wrongs?
On a sacred earth,
without war, all of us together,
won't a day come when we unite?
Will freedom show the way?
Will it light a lamp?
In petty human divides,
of high and low,
won't these patterns change?
Across the motherland,
there is no inferior ground,
yet humanity everywhere
bears the heavy pain of division.
Will this generation hold its head high?
Will it right these wrongs?
On a sacred earth...
Crowns will fall,
power dictates the paths,
forces people onto boats,
tears families apart,
turns them into refugees,
while deep roots bear the pain.
Once the mother is gone,
can a motherland still feel sweet?
Will this rising anger find an answer?
Won't the future reclaim this earth?
Will this generation hold its head high?
Will it right these wrongs?
On a sacred earth,
without war, all of us together,
won't a day come when we unite?
Many colors, many creeds,
where even love is reduced to pity,
even when people cry out,
doors are slammed shut,
and burning homes turn into firewood.
Can the innocent heart of a child
bear the weight of weapons?
What was created atom by atom
is destroyed here by the atomic bomb.
Oh... knowing no borders,
humanity wanders in turmoil...
Oh... oh oh oh
A broken spark became the world,
drawn borders turned into ruins,
the fallen dead become seeds,
and even fading ashes long for peace.
Will this generation hold its head high?
Will it right these wrongs?
On a sacred earth,
without war, all of us together,
won't a day come when we unite?
Will freedom show the way?
Will it light a lamp?
In petty human divides,
of high and low,
won't these patterns change?
Across the motherland,
there is no inferior ground,
yet humanity everywhere
bears the heavy pain of division.
Will this generation hold its head high?
Will it right these wrongs?
On a sacred earth...
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
