The freedom this country gained
Happened in the dead of night,
The freedom this country gained
Happened in the dead of night,
Yet the mothers who gave us life
Are wasting away in hunger here.

Are wasting away in hunger here.
A child cries for milk
In that woman's lap,

In that woman's lap,
And wicked men try to buy her
In the name of charity!
And wicked men try to buy her
In the name of charity!
Hold up the flaming torches!
Unite and come together here!
If motherhood is insulted,
Scorch this world with burning coals!
Scorch it with burning coals!
What is justice, what is righteousness?
Who even understands them anymore?

Chop off both his hands!

Your honor is just a shop item here!

Your honor is just a shop item here!
Selling for a worthless coin
Is the noble guiding light of motherhood!
Selling for a worthless coin

Is a woman an item for sale,
While your talk pretends to preach Thirukkural (ancient Tamil moral text)?

While your talk pretends to preach Thirukkural (ancient Tamil moral text)?
Are appeals to conscience and justice
Just protective shields for these vile men?
