ஆசி தந்து வழி நடத்த பாசமுள்ள தாயிருக்கா
ஆகையினால் என் வாழ்வில் வெற்றிதானடா

சொல்லாம கொள்ளாம எழுந்து ஓடடா டேய்
There is an affectionate mother to bless and lead the way
Therefore, my life will see only victory, my friend!
There is the support of friends to eliminate enemies who leap forth
Run away silently without a word, hey!

உழைப்போர்க்கு பூமியிலே நீதி கிடைக்கும்
Tomorrow our flag will fly high
The country will walk in our path
We will hear news that there are no poor people left
For those boasting in the village,
You too will get a thrashing!
Justice will be served on this earth for those who labor
இதுவரைக்கும் பிரிஞ்சிருந்தோம் ரொம்ப காலமா
இப்ப நாங்க சேர்ந்துவிட்டோம் எதுக்க முடியுமா
ஆணவத்தால் தம்பியத்தான் அடக்க முடியுமா
பூகம்பத்த கைகளிலே பிடிக்க முடியுமா
