O soul glowing deep within,
do not leave us now.
We have inscribed you in our hearts,
do not ever fade away.
When our hearts grew weary,
you were the light that stood by our side.
When tears streamed from our eyes,
you were the blessing that came to wipe them.
Oh, gentle spring of hope,
you are the story this world tells.
The hero of that tale,
you are the living truth born among us.
Born to rule the hearts of the people,
you are the son of Tamil land.
Ah... O soul glowing deep within,
do not leave us now... do not part from us.
The smile that you gave us
now lies all alone.
The throne where the king once sat
now lies empty and alone.
The roaring cheers that rose on seeing you
now lie quiet and alone.
Oh, the feet that danced with wild joy
now lie still and alone.
The crowd that adored you
now stands left alone.
Even the breeze that praised you through the hours
now drifts all alone.
Yet the love our brother gave
remains full and alive in our hearts.
Oh... O soul glowing deep within,
do not leave us now.
We have inscribed you in our hearts,
do not ever fade away.
