Munnaeru Vaalibaa Folk song Not copyrighted Lyrics:

Munnaeru vaalibaa munaeri endrum
Thoduvaan noakkuvaai
Kann theriyaatha Kaari rulil
Olirum vinmeenae
Thanimaiyaalae payantha naadugal
Irulil oli pera unnai naadum
Mael noakku vaaliba endrum munnaeri
Thoduvaan noakkuvaai thoduvaan noakkuvai

and the words can be roughly translated in English as thus:
Come forward youths! Let us progress!
Let us reach out for the sky.
You are the sparkling star that shines in the dark
Nations seek your guidance when in trouble.
So, aim high and progress in life. You will reach the skies ( reaching your goals )
