A National song by Bharathiyar.

The national song is on the exit of Bharat that is taking leave and on the entry of the new Bharat.

Cursing the exiting Bharat.

Gilli piditha nenchenai po po po
Vetru veru bhazhaigal karpai nee veetu vartahi karkilai po po po ,
Jaadi nooru solvai po po po ,
dharmam ondrum atrilai po po po ,
Needhi nooru solvai ,kasonndru neetinaal ,vannanguvai po po po

Meaning:                                                                                                                                                      Terror stricken heart go go go,
Instead of learning native languages and lore you are learning foreign language go go go,
You speak of castes in hundreds go go go ,
You will invoke hundreds of laws but will bow down to outstretched palm with cash go go go

Welcoming the new Bharat.

Illaya Bharathinai va va va ,
Yedhirilla valathinai va va va ,
Olliyizhundha nattinele nindrerum udaya gnayirru oppave va va va ,
Yerru pol nadaiyinnai va va va 
Khallai izhuindha naatile mun polave khallaisirraka vandhanai va va va

Meaning.

Young bharat come come come,
Un rivalled prosperity come, come come,
 Like a rising sun dispelling darkness daily do away with the gloom that has descended upon the country , come come come
Striding with the confidence of a bull,come come come,
Restorers of lost glory of Bharat come come come 

This song was written by this fiery poet burning with national fervour  in early 20 th cent[1882-1921]          but wasnt alive to see unshackling of india from foreign yoke or the  reform movments .    It has stood  the test of time as is the  nature  of the concept called Time ,that of being cyclic .
