Aalaporaan Thamizhan Lyrics in English (with Translation): Mersal | Kailash Kher, Sathya Prakash, Deepak, Pooja AV

Oorukannu Uravukannu
Unnai Mochchu Paakkum Ninnu
Chinna Maharasan Varaan Meesai Murukku

Friends and family all around
Can’t stop staring at you in awe
The little prince is here now —
Twirl that moustache with pride

Enga Mannu Thanga Mannu
Unnai Vaikkum Singamunnu
Muthumani Rathinathai Pettedutha Ranjitham

Our land is precious like gold
And it’ll honor you like a lion
Ranjitham gave birth
To a gem beyond compare

Oorukkunnu Vaazhu Kannu Ammaavukkum Sammadham
Endha Idam Valikandaalum Kannuthaane Kalangum
Kannupola Engalukku Kaavalaa Nee Varanum

Your parents want you
To live for the good of the people
No matter where pain strikes the body
It’s the eyes that tear up first
So like the pupil guarding the eye
You should stand protecting us too

Aalaporaan Thamizhan Ulagam Ellaame
Vetri Magan Vazhithaan Inime Ellaame
Veeranna Yaarunnu Indha Naattukke Avan Sonnaane
Vaayilla Maattukkum Ada Needhiya Avan Thandhaane

The Tamilian’s about to lead the world
From here on, victory is his path
He showed this nation
What true bravery really means
Even a speechless bull
Received justice because of him

Sollisolli Sarithirathil Per Porippaan
Nenjil Alli Kaatril Namma Then Tamil Thelippaan
Innum Ulagam Ezha Ange Tamil Paada
Pachai Tamil Uchchi Pugazh Hey Siri

Again and again
He’ll carve his name into history
With all his heart
He’ll spread sweet Tamil through the winds
Till the whole world rises
Echoing Tamil everywhere
Pure Tamil glory
Will shine at the highest peak

Vaaraayo Vaaraai Nee Anba Vandha Oli Koduppom
Vaaraayo Vaaraai Nee Vamba Vandha Sulukeduppom
Tamizhanda

Come to us in peace
And we’ll welcome you with warmth
But come with hatred
And we’ll strike back hard
That’s the spirit of a Tamilian

Ennaalum Sonnaale Thimireerum
Kaatrodu Kalandhaalum Adhudhaan Un Adaiyaalam
Hey Anbai Kotti Enga Mozhi Adithalam Pottom
Magudathai Tharikira Zhakaram Serthom
Thalaimurai Kadandhume Virivadhai Paarthom
Ulagathin Mudhal Mozhi Usurena Kaathom

Just saying it fills us with pride
Even when carried by the wind
That identity never fades
We built our language
On a foundation of love
And crowned it with the sacred “zha” sound
We’ve watched it grow across generations
Protecting the world’s oldest language with our lives

Thaainagaram Maatram Nerum
Un Mozhi Saayum Enbaane
Paarinaiya Tamizhanum Varuvaan
Thaai Tamil Thookki Nirpaane
Kadaisi Tamizhanin Ratham Ezhum Veezhaadhe

People may say Tamil will fade with time
But Tamilians everywhere will rise holding Mother Tamil high
Until the last drop of Tamil blood remains
We will never fall

O Tamil Samookame Veezhaadhe
O Tamil Samookame
O Tamil Samookame Veezhaadhe

Oh Tamil community
Don’t ever break down
Oh Tamil people
Stand strong forever

Nedundhooram Un Isai Ketkum
Pirai Neekki Pournamiyaakkum
Vedha Kaattil Vinmeen Pookkum
Vizhichaalum Nesandhaan Uyir Alaiyumo
Nethi Mutham Podhum Varungaalam Vaasanai Serkkum

Your music will echo across great distances
Turning crescent into full moon
Even forests will bloom with stars
And love will awaken the soul
A kiss on the forehead is enough
To fill the future with fragrance

Tamilale Onnaanom Maaradhu Ennaalum

Tamil is what united us
And that bond will never change
