Kodu Poata - Ravanan

Kodu Poata.. Konnu Podu..

Vaeli Poata.. Hey Vetti Podu..

Nethuvaraikum Unga Sattam Innaikirunthu Enga Sattam

[Chop them if they draw a line

Break it when they draw a fence

Until yesterday the law was in your hands.. from today it will be ours]

Kodu Poata.. Konnu Podu..

Vaeli Poata.. Hey Vetti Podu..

Villa Pola Valanja Kootam

Vaela Potta Nimirnthu Vittoam

[Chop them if they draw a line

Break it when they draw a fence

We were bending down like a bow

Now we will stand straight like an arrow]

Soathula Pangu Kaeta Aada Ellayapodu Ellaya

Soththula Pangu Kaeta, Aavan Thalaya Podu Thalaya

Ooraan Veetu Sattathukku Ooru Naadu Masiyathu

Maegam Vanthu Saththam Potta Aagayamdaen Kaekathu

Paatan Bootan Boomiya Yaarum Patta Poda Koodathu

[If they ask for a share of your food.. put the plates

If they ask for a share of your fortune.. break their head

The land will never bow down to the rules of its neighbours

The sky will not listen when the cloud comes and makes noise

No one can take away the land of our ancestors]

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

Pamba Kooda Pazhagi Pasum Paala Oothum Saathi

Thappu Thanda Sencha, Aada Appa Theriyum Saethi

Kalli Kaatu Pullathaachi Kallapetha Veeranada

Jalli Kaatu Madu Kizhicha Sariyum Kudalae Maalaiyada

Setha Kezhavan Ezhuthivecha Ootha Sothu Veeramada

[We belong to a race that tames a snake and gives it cow’s milk

Try doing a wrong, and you will know our other side

We are warriors born in the jungles

In a bull fight, the intestine that hangs out is our garland

The only fortune that an old man left behind is bravery]

Kodu Poata.. Konnu Podu..

Vaeli Poata.. Hey Vetti Podu..

[Chop them if they draw a line

Break it when they draw a fence]

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

Enga Kaathu Meensutta Vaasam Aadikum

Enga Thanni Eri Saarayam Poal Oraikum

Vathi Pona Oosuroada Vaazhvaanae Samsari

Oru Sappathi Kalli Vaazha Vaenamae Mummari

Ettukaani Pona Aada Evanum Ezha Illa

Maanam Mattum Pona Nee Maika Naalae Ezha

Manaivi Maatha Mattum Illa Mannum Kooda Maanamthaan

Chiyaan Kaatta Thoandi Paatha

Semman Oothu Rathamthaan

[Our air will smell of fried fish

Our stream water will give you the kick of a country liqor

A married man will live a barren life

A cactus plant does not require rain

No one becomes poor by loosing a penny

If our pride goes, you lose everything

Our land is as much our pride as our women

If you dig the forest, even the red sands are our blood]

Ko Ko Ko Kodu Poata.. Konnu Podu..

Vaeli Poata.. Hey Vetti Podu..

Nethuvaraikum Unga Sattam Innaikirunthu Enga Sattam

[Chop them if they draw a line

Break it when they draw a fence

Until yesterday the law was in your hands.. from today it will be ours]

Hey Hey Hey Hey..

Kodu Poata.. Hey Hey Hey.. Konnu Podu.. Hey Hey Hey..

Vaeli Poata.. Hey Vetti Podu..

Nethuvaraikum Unga Sattam

Nethuvaraikum Unga Sattam

Nethuvaraikum Unga Sattam

Innaikirunthu Enga Sattam

[Chop them if they draw a line

Break it when they draw a fence

Until yesterday the law was in your hands.. from today it will be ours]
