The Tamil anthem “Koranaaru” is a dusty stampede of rhythm that honors a mighty hero. Imagine the sun beating down on arid plains, the air thick with anticipation as Dhanush and Shiva Rajkumar take to the screen, keeping the lyrics’ vibrant beat.
Umadevi’s praise of Koranar, the protector who stands “like an elephant,” and his trumpet call for justice is like a village celebration. Even translated, the lyrics have a rugged charm, and the chorus is a chant to be sung loudly.
Deva and Santosh Hariharan’s soulful notes weave tales of a warrior who wears fearlessness like a garland. The lyrics depict a man unmoved by bribes or threats, a storm rising against danger, and his dance a chilling weapon against evildoers. It’s a song about community spirit and physical strength, their faith in their protector burning bright like the desert sun.
CAPTAIN MILLER (FILM) MOVIE | KORANAARU SONG LYRICS ENGLISH MEANING
Mathala Parai Mela Koranaru
On top of the hill stands, Koranar!
Madhangama Ninnaru Koranaru
Stood like an elephant, Koranar!
Etooru Ellai Thandi Koranaru
Going beyond the limits of eight villages, Koranar!
Ekalam Thattinaru Koranaru
He played the trumpet, Koranar!
Kollaiyadum Kootatha, Kollum Pagai Kootatha
He took out the intensities of the robbers and killers.
Kodala Uruvi Malayapottu Kavakathu Ninnaru
Worn them as a garland and stood to protect us.
Mathala Parai Mela Koranaru
Standing atop the hill is Koranar!
Madhangama Ninnaru Koranaru
Koranar stood like an elephant!
Etooru Ellai Thandi Koranaru
Koranar, going beyond the boundaries of eight communities!
Ekalam Thattinaru Koranaru
Koranar played the trumpet!
Kottai Gopuram Thanthalum, Kodi Sugatha Thanthalum
Even if a palace is given or limitless comforts are offered,
Senai Kakum Veerakoran Unna Pola Veraru
which warrior can save the troops like you?
Koota Kalaikum Koottangal, Soolchi Seithu Than Vanthalum
Even if early in the morning, they try to trick you,
Aliperalaiya Polelunthu, Adum Thadavakon Yaru
who else can rise like the waves at times of storm, and threaten them with your dance?
Koranaru Engal Koranaru
Koranar, our Koranar!
Mathala Parai Mela Koranaru
Koranar rises at the top of the hill!
Madhangama Ninnaru Koranaru
Koranar, you stood there like an elephant!
Etooru Ellai Thandi Koranaru
Koranar, you’re going past the eight-village limit!
Ekalam Thattinaru Koranaru
He played the trumpet, Koranar!
