தெக்கு தெச நாடு

Time does not weep
Come without losing courage
God is with you
Guarding you always

The house in Theeyathoor village
Where three brothers
Lived together in a home
ஊரு கிழக்கு உறவு இருக்கு
ஆத்தா தாண்டா உன் அடையாள பொறப்பு
காணி கருப்பு காத்து இருக்கு
சாதி சனத்தோட வாழ்ந்தா தான் மதிப்பு
The village lies to the east, and relations are there
Mother gave you this birth of identity
The dark, fertile land waits for you
True respect comes from living alongside your kin and community
காடு வயக்காடு
இது தான் டா சாமி
கஞ்சி குடுச்சாலும்
அது தான்டா காணி
அப்பன் முப்பாட்டன் நாடா போட்ட பூமி
The forests and the fields
This is our divine sanctity
Even if we drink simple rice porridge
That land itself is our true wealth
This is the soil walked upon by our father and forefathers

அண்ணன் கை தான் டா அப்பாவின் இருப்பு
காலம் இருக்கு சோகம் எதுக்கு
ஆத்தா மடி தானே வலி போகும் மருந்து
Born out of affection, bound by love
An elder brother's hands represent a father's presence
Time is on your side, why grieve?
A mother's lap is the medicine that cures all pain
தொப்புள் கொடியோடு
உருவான பாடம்
சொந்தம் எப்போதும்
அழியாத நேசம்
ஊரு உறவு எல்லாம்
எப்போதும் பேசும்
With the umbilical cord
The bond that was formed
Kinship is always
An indestructible affection
The entire village and family
Will always speak of this love
