யுத்தம் செய்து ரத்தம் கண்ட
வலிமை கொண்ட போர்ப்படை
நித்தம் நித்தம் வலிகளோடு
தேசம் காக்கும் வெறிப்படை
A powerful army that fought wars and saw blood,
A mighty force of war.
Enduring pain every single day,
A passionate unit protecting the nation.
காயங்கள் நம் முதுகிலே
அணியாயங்கள் எம் எதிரிலே
The wounds are on our backs,
Injustice stands right in front of us.

உறவை விட்டு பிரிந்தது என்ன பிஞ்சிலே
The deep love we hold for our nation,
Will forever remain in our hearts.
Cherishing our loved ones,
Why did we part from family at such a young age?
நீங்காத நினைவிலே
தாங்காத வலியிலே

In memories that never fade,
Through pain that is unbearable.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic anthem highlights the physical and emotional resilience of soldiers who dedicate their lives to protecting the nation. It contrasts the harsh realities of war— wounds, blood, continuous suffering, and early separation from family—with the unyielding pride, unity, and sense of duty that define a soldier's resolve.

Poetic devices
Ethugai (Second-letter Assonance)
“Neengaatha ninaivilae / Thaangaatha valiyilae”
The second consonant sound 'ng' (ங்) matches in 'Neengaatha' and 'Thaangaatha', creating rhythmic cohesion across consecutive lines.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Neengaatha ninaivilae / Thaangaatha valiyilae”
Both lines end with the suffix '-ilae', establishing a rhythmic terminal rhyme.
Epizeuxis (Repetition)
“Niththam niththam valigalodu”
The word 'Niththam' is repeated back-to-back to emphasize the continuous, daily nature of the soldiers' pain.
