Brilliant work...thanks bro.
Just a correction. The lyrics "arraira kodi perghalil
oruvan adiyaen Tamilzhan nan unggal nanban" refers to
the 6 million Tamil population of India rather than
the Indian population, which is 100 million.
So he simply says "I am one in 6 million Tamil and i'm
ur friend".
