Hey…..ae…..ae…..ae…..
O guardian deity who makes every village prosper...
We come chanting your name, show us the way to rise!
We offer sacred flour lamps, wipe away our flaws and troubles...
We carry the kavadi on our shoulders, protect us till the very end...
He is coming, he is coming... the leader!
He is coming, he is coming... the leader!
He is coming, he is coming, the daring Tamilian!
He is coming, he is coming, the daring Tamilian!
Making the whole land shake with excitement, good fortune has bloomed right in the center!
With the parai drums beating day after day, good times have arrived!
Kumkum and sandalwood paste adorn every forehead!
The people who were once beaten down have now reached the fort!
Tamil Nadu is not some lonely, helpless land!
Why do you lose your way and wander off to foreign lands?
Tamil Nadu is the land that sustains you and me!
If you work the soil, the farmlands will give in abundance!
Hey, we have the Tamil language on our lips!
We have kin ready to give their lives for us!
Do not suffer lying helpless in the dark!
Never bow down to the one who oppresses you!
Hey, he is coming, he is coming, this Tamilian!
The leader who will rewrite history!
Hey, he is coming, he is coming, this Tamilian!
The leader who will rewrite history!
He is coming, he is coming, this Tamilian!
The leader who will rewrite history!
Hey, he is coming, he is coming, this Tamilian!
The leader who will rewrite history!
Making the whole land shake with excitement, good fortune has bloomed right in the center!
With the parai drums beating day after day, good times have arrived!
Kumkum and sandalwood paste adorn every forehead!
The people who were once beaten down have now reached the fort!
Tamil Nadu is not some lonely, helpless land!
Why do you lose your way and wander off to foreign lands?
Tamil Nadu is the land that sustains you and me!
If you work the soil, the farmlands will give in abundance!
...
Mighty kings of the past stood tall trusting this very soil!
They urged us to fight to protect our honor and courage!
Forgetting your native village, you went away just to make a living!
Leaving your dusty fields barren, you lived a hellish life!
If you respect the soil, you will rise high!
As long as we live, we can laugh and be joyful!
Lord Murugan of the six sacred abodes will stand by your side!
When you harvest the paddy, he will yield as precious golden grain!
Hey, he is coming, he is coming, this Tamilian!
The leader who will rewrite history!
Hey, he is coming, he is coming, this Tamilian!
The leader who will rewrite history!
He is coming, he is coming, this Tamilian!
The leader who will rewrite history!
Hey, he is coming, he is coming, this Tamilian!
The leader who will rewrite history!
Making the whole land shake with excitement, good fortune has bloomed right in the center!
With the parai drums beating day after day, good times have arrived!
Kumkum and sandalwood paste adorn every forehead!
The people who were once beaten down have now reached the fort!
Tamil Nadu is not some lonely, helpless land!
Why do you lose your way and wander off to foreign lands?
Tamil Nadu is the land that sustains you and me!
If you work the soil, the farmlands will give in abundance!
O guardian deity who makes every village prosper!
Hey... yeah...
