Puratchi Thamizhan Lyrics Translation P.S. Ashwin | Sathyaraj | Thozhar Cheguevera
Alex and Anish Edmond Prabhu frame resistance with direct Tamil phrases. They describe betrayers as backstabbing foxes facing collective action. Specific lines declare history will record victory over corrupt forces.
Thalai Kuninjathu PothumBowing our heads is enough.
Ithu Thalainimirum KaalamThis is the time to stand tall.
Veeram Pettha PullayaCan a child born of bravery,
Ina Dhorgam Vetti Saikkumabe cut down by a betrayal of their ‘kin’?
Mudhukil Kutthum Narigal KottamThe pack of backstabbing foxes,
Kaattil Sirithu Aadumlaughs and dances in the forest.
Ezhai JaathikeannaFor the community of the poor,
Ketka Kaarum Illayaais there no one to demand answers?
Valimai Izhanthu Malaiyil IrunthuWhile losing strength and falling,
Kizhe Vizhum Nodiyilefrom the mountain in that very moment,
Vaanam Vanthu Rekkai Thanthuthe sky’ll come to give you wings,
Kootti Pogumand it’ll take you,
Uyarameto the heights.

Ippadai ThoorkinIf this army loses,
Eppadai Vellumwhich army will ever win?
Needhikku Ithu Oru PorattamThis is a struggle for justice.
Ithu Nitchayam Ulagam PaarattumThe world will surely applaud this.
Nammai Eipavar Kaiyil AthikaramPower may be in the hands of those who cheat us,
Irunthidum Ennum Kadhai Maarumbut that story’s going to change.

Nenjukkulla Aaraa Ranamhave unhealing wounds in their hearts.
Paalum Thenum Ketka VillaWe didn’t ask for milk and honey,
Pazhaya Soorum Kooda Nilaikaa Villaand even our ‘leftover rice’ didn’t last.
Oomaiyaaga Iruntha SanatthaAfter ruling over the people,
Oorangatti Aanduputtuwho were marginalized and remained silent,
Varumai Ennum Ayudhathayou unleashed the weapon of poverty,
Enga Mela Eavi Vittaupon us.

Unnai Atchamintariwe’re going to fearlessly,
Michamindri Verarukaand completely uproot you,
Pogiromwithout leaving a trace.
