Believe in the Birth of Tamil Eelam
Thenisai Chellappa 2004
Chorus:
Nampungal Tamil Eelam Nallai Pirakum
Naatin Adimai Vilanku Therrikum
Believe, Tamil Eelam is to be born tomorrow
Shattering the shackles of our nation’s servitude.
1.
Paaril Tamilmann veeram pirakum
Pahaivan oodum sethi kitaikum
Tamil soil will emerge gallantly among the nations
News of our fleeing enemies will reach us.
2.
Paaril vettri murasu mulangum
Pulikal kaluthil maalai thongum
The war drums will spread the news of victory
Garlands will adorn the Tigers.
3.
Koondu paravai serahu virikum
Kunintha muhangal niminthu sirikkum
The caged bird will spread its wings
Bowed heads will lift straight.
4.
Maandu veerar kanavu pallikum
Makulchi kadallil Tamilmann kulikum
Dreams of the martyrs realized,
Tamil soil will be drenched in joy.
5.
Vaanam namathu kodiyai asaikkum
Matran muhathil nanam mulaikum
Dignity graces our flag
Our traitors realize their shame.
6.
Maanam namakoru mahudam valankum
Manil namadu perumai vilangum
Prestige rendered in our quest for dignity
Our mark will be made on this earth!
