The whole town speaks of you,
Poosa, our guru Poosa!
The one the Thevars love,
Bose, our very own Bose!
Greatest among the great three,
Leader among the Thevars,
Protector of the Mukkulathor!
Man with a heart as pure as bleached cloth,
Son of the spear-wielding clan,
Man rooted among the village folk,
Man of simple and pure nature,
When you walk dressed in dhoti and shirt,
You are the sky adorned with a sacred mark,
The plantain tree blessed by your touch
Becomes a nurturing mother to us!
You are fierce in your rage,
A protective shield in times of danger,
On the streets and in the markets,
The moment our eyes catch sight of you,
We gather close and stand in awe!
Man with a heart as pure as bleached cloth,
Son of the spear-wielding clan,
Man rooted among the village folk,
Man of simple and pure nature,
Countless proud glories
This lineage carries, my friend!
Truly, among every clan,
Our clan stands majestic, my friend!
Just like the wild wind,
There are no reins to hold us back!
Both fierce fury and warm embrace
Are the true marks of who we are!
Fresh country liquor
Tastes sweet to our men,
Double the bravery
Beats inside our women!
Just the name of Mukkulam
Makes every clan welcome us with open arms!
Tucked under our arms at all times,
Rests a sharp curved machete!
Man with a heart as pure as bleached cloth,
Son of the spear-wielding clan,
Man rooted among the village folk,
Man of simple and pure nature,
Those who arrived in ancient times,
Those who marched in to conquer,
Those who came seeking justice,
Those who came collecting taxes,
Those who came to trade gold,
Those who came collecting loan dues,
For all of those people,
This soil became a blooming garden!
No matter who they were,
This land gave them open space to breathe!
The land where the ancient Tamil race
First began its journey!
Where the rest of the Tamil clans
Rose again and survived, this is that land!
Strike up the drums!
Measuring gold by the cauldron-full,
We gift it to the bridegroom, friend!
Sacrificing a hundred and eight goats,
We celebrate and feast in rows!
As generations of brave souls,
We have lived through the ages!
To guard our honor without compromise,
We have seen countless battles!
If you raise a mustache like ours,
Your pulse too will race with pride!
To every generation born among us,
Pasumpon is the sacred soil we hold dear!
