Poruthadhu Podhum Lyrics Translation (from “Viduthalai Part 2”)
Ilaiyaraaja’s Tamil lyrics condemn lawmakers who previously exploited communities. Yogi B reinforces the message with lines about crushing obstacles and raising victory flags across all directions.
Poruthadhu Podhum Ponghi EzhuEnough of being patient, rise up!
Sarithiram Maarum Ondru PaduHistory will change, so unite as one.
Vilangugalai Udaithu EriBreak the shackles and cast them aside.
Thadaigalai Norukkida VaaCome and crush every obstacle.
Viduthalaiyae Namadhu KuriFreedom is our only goal.
Pagaigalai Mudithida VaaCome and put an end to our enemies.
Thikkugal Ettilum Vetri KodiRaise the flag of victory in all eight directions.
Kettadhai Midhithae Azhithae YetridavaTrample and destroy the evil to raise it high.
Poruthadhu Podhum Ponghi EzhuEnough of being patient, rise up!
