Panathottam’s Ennathan Nadakkum Lyrics Translation
The verses observe a society filled with thieves and complicit silent people. Later, the lyrics instruct one to fear only their own conscience. This is followed by the direction to integrate honor into one’s very body.
Ennadhan Nadakkum NadakkattumeLet whatever happens, happen
Iruttinil Needhi MaraiyattumeLet justice be concealed in the darkness
Thannale Veli Varum ThayangadheIt will emerge on its own, don’t you falter
Thalaivan Irukkiran MayangadheA leader is there, don’t lose your way
Ha Ennadhan Nadakkum NadakkattumeLet whatever happens, happen
Iruttinil Needhi MaraiyattumeLet justice be concealed in the darkness
Thannale Veli Varum ThayangadheIt will emerge on its own, don’t you falter
Thalaivan Irukkiran MayangadheA leader is there, don’t lose your way
Oru Thalaivan Irukkiran MayangadheA leader is there, don’t lose your way
Pinnale Therivadhu AdichuvaduWhat you see behind are the footprints
Munnale Iruppadhu Avan VeeduWhat lies ahead is his home
Pinnale Therivadhu AdichuvaduWhat you see behind are the footprints
Munnale Iruppadhu Avan VeeduWhat lies ahead is his home
Naduvinile Nee VilaiyaduIn between, you play your part
Nalladhai Ninaithe PoraduKeep goodness in your mind and fight on
Nalladhai Ninaithe PoraduKeep goodness in your mind and fight on
Ha Ennadhan Nadakkum NadakkattumeLet whatever happens, happen
Iruttinil Needhi MaraiyattumeLet justice be concealed in the darkness
Thannale Veli Varum ThayangadheIt will emerge on its own, don’t you falter
Thalaivan Irukkiran MayangadheA leader is there, don’t lose your way
Oru Thalaivan Irukkiran MayangadheA leader is there, don’t lose your way
Ulagathil Thirudargal Sari PadhiIn this world, thieves make up one half
Oomaigal Kurudargal Adhil PadhiThe mute and the blind make up the other half
Ulagathil Thirudargal Sari PadhiIn this world, thieves make up one half
Oomaigal Kurudargal Adhil PadhiThe mute and the blind make up the other half
Kalagathil Pirappadhu Dhan NeedhiJustice is what’s born from the turmoil
Kalangadhe Madhi MayangadheDon’t be troubled, don’t let your mind be swayed
Kalangadhe Madhi MayangadheDon’t be troubled, don’t let your mind be swayed
Ha Ennadhan Nadakkum NadakkattumeLet whatever happens, happen
Iruttinil Needhi MaraiyattumeLet justice be concealed in the darkness
Thannale Veli Varum ThayangadheIt will emerge on its own, don’t you falter
Thalaivan Irukkiran MayangadheA leader is there, don’t lose your way
Oru Thalaivan Irukkiran MayangadheA leader is there, don’t lose your way
Manadhukku Mattum BayandhuviduYou should fear only your conscience
Manathai Udalil KalanthuviduMix honor into your very being
Manadhukku Mattum BayandhuviduYou should fear only your conscience
Manathai Udalil KalanthuviduMix honor into your very being
Irukkindra Varaiyinil VazhndhuviduLive your life for as long as you’re here
Irandinil Ondru ParthuviduAnd see one of the two outcomes through
Irandinil Ondru ParthuviduAnd see one of the two outcomes through
Ha Ennadhan Nadakkum NadakkattumeLet whatever happens, happen

Thalaivan Irukkiran MayangadheA leader is there, don’t lose your way
Oru Thalaivan Irukkiran MayangadheA leader is there, don’t lose your way
