Lyrics:

manathil uruthi vendum
vaakkinile inimai vendum
ninaivu nalladhu vendum
nerunggina porul kai pada vendum

kanavu mei pada vendum
kai vasamaavadhu viraivil vendum
Dhanamum inbamum vendum
tharaniyile perumai vendum

kan thirandhida vendum
kaariyathil uruthi vendum
pen viduthalai vendum
periya kadavul kaakka vendum

mann payanura vendum
vaanagam inggu thenpada vendum
unmai nindrida vendum
Om Om Om

Translation:

Let there be a strong heart/min
Let words be sweet
Let memories be good
Get things that are at reach

Let dreams come true
Get things in grasp soon
Let there be money and happiness
Let there be peace in the world

Let the eyes be open
Let there be strength at work
Let there be independence - for women
Let the Big God save us

Let the earth be useful
Let the whole universe be visible
Let the truth prevail
Om Om Om
