In the southern land,
a home caught in flames,
three brothers,
the nest where they once lived.
In the southern land,
a home caught in flames,
three brothers,
the nest where they once lived.
Time will not let you down,
walk ahead without losing heart,
God's grace is right beside you,
standing with you, my son!
In the southern land,
a home caught in flames,
three brothers,
the nest where they once lived.
The village is to the east, our kin are there,
your mother is your true root and identity, my son!
Guardian deity Karuppu watches over our soil,
living united with our people is where true honor lies.
These woods and farm fields,
this is everything to us, my child!
Even if we have only simple porridge to drink,
this land is our greatest treasure!
The soil our fathers and forefathers built as their own realm!
In the southern land,
a home caught in flames,
three brothers,
the nest where they once lived.
In the southern land,
a home caught in flames,
three brothers,
the nest where they once lived.
Born of deep affection, true love still endures,
an elder brother's supportive hand is a father's presence itself!
Time is ahead of us, why drown in sorrow?
Mother's lap is the only medicine to take away the pain.
Connected since the umbilical cord,
this is the lesson shaped from our birth:
family is an everlasting bond,
a love that never perishes.
The village and all our relatives
will forever speak of it!
In the southern land,
a home caught in flames,
three brothers,
the nest where they once lived.
In the southern land,
a home caught in flames,
three brothers,
the nest where they once lived.
