தமிழன் வீர தமிழன்
தலைமை தாங்கும் ஒருவன்
துயரம் நேர்ந்த இடத்தில்
தோழன் தோள் கொடுப்பான்
Tamilian, brave Tamilian
The one who assumes leadership
In a place where sorrow strikes
A friend who lends a shoulder
அனலை போல இருப்பான்
அடிமை விலங்கை உடைப்பான்
தன் நிழலை கூட மிதித்தால்
நெற்றி கண் திறப்பான்
He will be like fire
He will break the chains of slavery
If someone steps even on his shadow
He will open his third eye
தமிழன் வீர தமிழன்
தலைமை தாங்கும் ஒருவன்
துயரம் நேர்ந்த இடத்தில்

Tamilian, brave Tamilian
The one who assumes leadership
In a place where sorrow strikes
A friend who lends a shoulder
இவனை தீண்ட நினைத்தால்
இரும்புக் கையால் அழிப்பான்
இருளை போக்க இவனே
விளக்கை போல் வருவான்
தர்மம் காக்க என்றும்
தன்னை தானே தருவான்
அதர்மம் அழிக்க இவனே
ஆயுதம் ஆகிடுவான்
If anyone tries to touch him
He will destroy them with an iron hand
To dispel darkness, he himself
Will arrive like a lamp
To protect righteousness, always
He will sacrifice himself
To destroy unrighteousness, he himself
Will become the weapon

எரிமலை போலே எழுவான்
எதிரியும் இவனை தொழுவான்
புயலை போல வந்து
போர்க்களம் வென்றிடுவான்
தனியே நின்று ஜெயிப்பான்
தரணியில் என்றும் நிலைப்பான்
இவனைப் போல ஒருவன்
இனிமேல் யார் வருவான்
He will rise like a volcano
Even his enemy will bow to him
Coming like a storm
He will conquer the battlefield
Standing alone, he will triumph
He will endure forever on this earth
A person like him
Who else can ever come in the future?
