Where do we come from?
Many places
Where do we come from?
Different races
By the oceans, the forests, the deserts, the rivers
From the cities to the village the foothills of the mountains
We all have a heart
Breathe the same air from the trees, under the same sky moon and sun
VERSE 2 (with English response)
Yaaru nam uravu?
Who are our friends and relatives?
Parpala mugam
Many faces
Yedhu nammu inam?
What are our races?
VevvEru-inam
Different races
KaTTubavar vaLarppavar
From the builders and the growers
Ashiriyar vidaippavar
The teachers and the sowers
KANbavar naTanam ADubavar
From the dreamers and the dancers
Kavignar kAppavar
The writers and the healers
We all have a heart
Breathe the same air from the trees under the same sky moon and sun
Where do you come?
Honor your story
Your families history
Their journey to where you are right now
Remember our stories Folktales, mythologies
Our histories woven through space and time
