Thaarumaaru…. taa
Hey, just like that
bird over there,
we should live freely, my friend!
Ah, just like these
waves right here,
we should dance with joy, my friend!
Where your eyes wander,
do not set your foot!
Female: Where your feet wander,
do not set your heart!
If you know who you are,
you can fight and win!
Female: Without bowing your head,
you can live with pride!
Who is the one in a thousand
here among us?
Female: Hey, back then, right now,
and always, it’s Vaathiyaar (the Master, MGR)!
Out of this world!
Rocking it hard!
Completely wild!
Here comes, here comes the Master!
Normally, my heart is pure gold,
but in a contest, I'm a lion!
Victory after victory, mm-hmm,
victory is certain!
That is an absolute truth!
Raise the flag of victory,
and the girl will follow you!
What difference between man and woman?
What difference between you and me?
We are all of one human race!
Like the banyan, like the acacia,
like the hanging banyan roots,
to take firm root in your heart!
The golden son born of a lion,
who is he here?
Female: Hey, back then, right now, and forever,
it's the Superstar!
Out of this world!
Rocking it hard!
Completely wild!
Here comes, here comes the Superstar!
Out of this world!
Rocking it hard!
Completely wild!
Here he comes, here he comes, he has arrived!
In the month of April,
at the dead of midnight,
right beside the window,
where is that moon that appeared, girl?
Wait just a few days, my leader,
that slender, graceful beauty will arrive!
Even the bright white moon,
she will easily outshine!
With the wealth of Ambani's lineage
for five or six generations,
come hang out and roam around with me!
Go ahead and play your gamble (Mankatha),
she won't let go, don't worry!
Isn't she the light of your home?
Hey, "a matchstick won't catch fire,"
who said that?
Female: Hey, look at history!
Look at our Thala (leader)!
Out of this world!
Rocking it hard!
Completely wild!
Look at our swaggering Thala (leader)!
Hey, this love...
I nurtured it inside me, girl...
I grew it only for you...
Hey, crazy girl,
my sweet girl,
why wander behind me?
Your cries of Hosanna,
endless idle chatter never ceasing...
Female: You little devil,
without ever changing your ways,
should I get mad at you
without saying a word?
Female: Oh my goodness, oh dear!
My beloved!
Hey, singing "Kalasala",
who has arrived here?
Female: Hey, that sensational,
superstar is STR!
Out of this world!
Rocking it hard!
Completely wild!
T.R. and T.R.'s son STR!
Totally mind-blowing, man!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Thaarumaaru from the film Vaalu is a high-energy tribute song celebrating four legendary icons of Tamil cinema across generations: M. G. Ramachandran (MGR / Vaathiyaar), Rajinikanth (Superstar), Ajith Kumar (Thala), and Silambarasan (STR) himself. Lyricist Madhan Karky ingeniously blends iconic film titles, popular song lyrics, and famous punch dialogues associated with each actor into a unified, celebratory dance track. The song serves as both a musical homage to Tamil cinema royalty and a stylish hero-introduction song for STR.
