Thennaadu Lyrics English Translation – Bison Kaalamaadan

A sea of humanity in the southern belt
A sea of humanity that tills the land
A crowd that croons in the mud with the crabs
A crooning crowd that sows the seeds
A crooning crowd that tills the land
The mighty River Barani flows and graces this land
O Mighty Kalamaadan
He is the Almighty
We tie our ploughs, beat our chests, and sing our songs
We shrug our shoulders, and making dust fly, dance away
We narrate the tales of our ancestors hardships
When blame and pain joined hands,
to take revenge, we took to enmity
Oh… We took to enmity
In a land drenched with deception, within questions that seek wisdom,
you are the answer, O God
Always stood by me, you did
In an orchard basking in the sun, where the rays play within the fences,
you came by as river, O God
Bloomed anew, you did
In all the paths we traverse, the scent of your forest wafts
When the wind speaks with spears, you shield us with your horns, O God
Come forth, O Great Bull
O Maada, you are our everything
What can time do when fate dances away in our nests?
What can time do?
What can time do?
What can dreams do?
What can love do?
What can love do?
What can tears do?
A sea of humanity in the southern belt
A sea of humanity that tills the land
A crowd that croons in the mud with the crabs
A crooning crowd that sows the seeds
A crooning crowd that tills the land
The mighty River Barani flows and graces this land
O Mighty Kalamaadan
He is the Almighty
We tie our ploughs, beat our chests, and sing our songs
We shrug our shoulders, and making dust fly, dance away
We narrate the tales of our ancestors hardships

When blame and pain joined hands,
to take revenge, we took to enmity
Oh… We took to enmity
