Karukalilae sooriyana
Kadum iravil chandirana
Unmugatha paarthirukka
Maaruthaiyaa athanaiyum
Humming
Thenpandi muthu pola
Porandha raasa porandha raasa
Selvaaku innum kooda
Malarndha rosaa malarndha rosaa
Alangaara thaera nee asanjaada
Kula saami vananguthaiyaa
Azhagaa nee pesa aayiram aandu
Varalaaru thodanguthaiyaa
Naloorgal vaazhthida nalam adhu perugida
Osathu osathu daa
Namma kodiya osathu daa
Neruppu kolundhu nee
Oru maratha ezhundhu vaada
Asathu asathu daa
Ettu dhisaiyum asathu daa
Kizhakku velichame
Oru neruppu kalandhu vaada
Thenpandi muthu pola
Porandha raasa porandha raasa
Selvaaku innum kooda
Malarndha rosaa malarndha rosaa
Velli vilakkozhi kone unnudaiya
Iru kann pesa
Inbam enbadhu neril
Vandhemmai seraadhoo
Thanga silamboli kone unnudaiya
Udal thottaada
Sorgam enbadhu naalum

Seerum sirappum saerum vanappum
Kannae un sirippinil perugadho
Neerum neruppum neezhum poruppum
Unnodu irundhida virumbaadhoo
Uravenum mazhaiyinil ooyaamal ninaidhida
Udan varum sugam unai naal dhoorum kalanthida

Are you the sun rising in the dawn?
Are you the moon in the deep dark night?
Just looking at your sweet face,
everything changes for the better!
(Humming)
Like a pearl of the southern Pandiya land,
our little prince is born, our prince is born!
For our glory and honour to rise even higher,
you bloomed like a rose, bloomed like a rose!
As you sway gently like a decorated temple chariot,
even our family deity bows to you with love!
When you speak so charmingly, a thousand years of
history begins right here!
As good-hearted elders bless you and goodness overflows,
Raise it high, raise it high!
Raise our flag high!
You are a blazing flame of fire,
rise up with all your courage!
Dazzle everyone, dazzle them all!
Dazzle all eight directions!
O shining light of the eastern sky,
come blazing forth like fire!
Like a pearl of the southern Pandiya land,
our little prince is born, our prince is born!
For our glory and honour to rise even higher,
you bloomed like a rose, bloomed like a rose!
O little prince glowing like a silver lamp,
when your two eyes speak,
won't pure joy come directly
and embrace our hearts?
O little prince with jingling golden anklets,
as you move and play,
won't heaven itself surround us
each and every day?
Grand prosperity, honour, and graceful charm,
my darling, won't they blossom in your smile?
Water, fire, and all great responsibilities,
wouldn't they love to walk alongside you?
Endlessly drenched in this sweet rain of family love,
may constant happiness stay blended with you every day!
Raise it high, raise it high!
Raise our flag high!
You are a blazing flame of fire,
rise up with all your courage!
Dazzle everyone, dazzle them all!
Dazzle all eight directions!
O shining light of the eastern sky,
come blazing forth like fire!
Like a pearl of the southern Pandiya land,
our little prince is born, our prince is born!
For our glory and honour to rise even higher,
you bloomed like a rose, bloomed like a rose!
As you sway gently like a decorated temple chariot,
even our family deity bows to you with love!
When you speak so charmingly, a thousand years of
history begins right here!
As good-hearted elders bless you and goodness overflows,
Raise it high, raise it high!
Raise our flag high!
You are a blazing flame of fire,
rise up with all your courage!
Dazzle everyone, dazzle them all!
Dazzle all eight directions!
O shining light of the eastern sky,
come blazing forth like fire!
Like a pearl of the southern Pandiya land...
