Ethiraj College Song Lyrics -

எதிராஜ் கல்லூரி எங்கள் பண்பாட்டுக் கேள்விக்கு என்றும் ஒளிவிளக்கு ஏற்றும் இனிய தமிழ்த் தாய் வாழ்த்து.

தெய்வத் தமிழோசை சீரும் சிறப்புமாய்ப் பாடும் திருவருள் மழை பொழியும் செந்தமிழ்க் கல்விக் கோயில்.

வித்தகன் வேதியர் தந்தை வேண்டும் வாழ்த்துக்கள் நாங்கள் விடுதலைப் பெண்கல்வி வேண்டி வந்த தொண்டர் வாழ்க.

"Thannambikkai Oliyodu, Thaniyalum Manam Ellaam,
Nermaiyin Vazhi Nindraal, Nigar Illai Ulagilae..." ethiraj college song lyrics
