Maanathe Kanalaali Pulari PiranneAs the sky glows like embers, the dawn’s born.
Thaazhathe Kalamaake Chiraku ViricheDown below, the entire field’s spread its wings.
Karukappulthumbin Naambil Muthu KorutheThey’ve threaded pearls of dew on the tips of the grass,
Kanaveriyana Kannale Graamamunarneand the village wakes with eyes full of dreams.
Ee Naadin Kadha Parayaanaay VannorundeThere’re some who’ve come to tell the land’s story.
Pullinadin Naadimiduppu ArinjorundeThere’re some who’ve felt the grassland’s heartbeat.
Padavettan Kachayorukki NirannorundeThere’re some who’ve lined up, preparing for battle.
Thadayillathangane Ingane PaanjorundeThey’re rushing here and there without any restraint.
Kaanaathoru Kaattu ParanjeAn unseen wind whispered the secret,
Kettorum Eattu Paranjeand those who heard it echoed the word.
Nerellam Poyi MaranjeThe truth’s all gone and hidden away,
Kaalam Kalikaalamarinjefor time’s recognized this as a decadent age.
Nallavanaay Pakalu ChamanjuHe disguised himself as a good man during the day,
Nadanne Naadaakeand walked all across the village.
Vallabhanum Pullum AayudhamFor the powerful, even a blade of grass’s a weapon,
Ennum Kandeas he observed every single day.
Poikaalil Pongi NadanneHe walked tall on stilts,
Poimukhavum Vechu Kalicheand played his games behind a false mask.
Vaalinnu Pakaram NalloruInstead of a sword, he’s planted a ‘good’,
Aalmaravum Nattesturdy banyan tree.
Njanennoru Meni NadichuThose who walk around with such ego,
Nadakkunnorellarumpretending to be someone they aren’t,
Thaan Kuthiya Kuzhiyulthey’ll fall into the very pit,
Veene Thannathaanethey’ve dug for themselves.
Nerellam Engotto Poyi MaranjeThe truth’s vanished somewhere,
Kaalam Kalikalam Ithufor it’s a decadent age,
Kaalamarinjeand time’s understood it well.
Maanathe Kanalaali Pulari PiranneAs the sky glows like embers, the dawn’s born.
Thaazhathe Kalamaake Chiraku ViricheDown below, the entire field’s spread its wings.
Karukappulthumbin Naambil Muthu KorutheThey’ve threaded pearls of dew on the tips of the grass,
Kanaveriyana Kannale Graamamunarneand the village wakes with eyes full of dreams.
Ee Naadin Kadha Parayaanaay VannorundeThere’re some who’ve come to tell the land’s story.
Pullinadin Naadimiduppu ArinjorundeThere’re some who’ve felt the grassland’s heartbeat.
Padavettan Kachayorukki NirannorundeThere’re some who’ve lined up, preparing for battle.
Thadayillathangane Ingane PanjorundeThey’re rushing here and there without any restraint.
Kaanaathoru Kaattu ParanjeAn unseen wind whispered the secret,

Nerellam Poi MaranjeThe truth’s all gone and hidden away,
Kaalam Kalikaalamarinjefor time’s recognized this as a decadent age.
