English translation

Pallavi

We will dance joyfully and sing,
That we have achieved joyful independence

Charanam

1. The time when we used to call Brahmins as “Sir” has gone,
The time when we used to call the white men as “lord” has gone,
The time when we saluted those who took alms from us has gone,
The time when we serve people who made fun of us has gone.

2. In all places the only talk is about freedom,
Now it is sure that every one is equal,
Let us herald the victory by conch,
And tell the entire world about this.

3. The time when every one is equal has come,
The time when lie and deceit is not there has come,
The time when good people are great people has come,
And the time for destruction of great deceivers has come.

4. We would salute farming and labour- we would,
Berate those who spend time by doing nothing,
We would not die by irrigating our fields,
We would not work and get tired by working for snobs.

5. We understand that the land we stay is ours,
WE understood that we only have rights here,
We would not become slaves to any one in the world,
But we would live as slaves to the fully complete God.

  1. Thanks for writing the meaning also. Vizhalukku means 'weed land' or working on unneccessary things.
    We would not die by irrigating our fields line needs to be changed I think.

    Great job.
