No fear, no fear, there is no fear at all! Even if the skies crumble and fall upon our heads, even if people scorn us and speak ill of us, no fear, no fear, there is no fear at all!
It's a game, man! A cops-and-robbers game! Just watch and see who wins here! The cop will surge in like the wind and a raging storm... ha! Like thunder and rain, the cop will burst through!
If he swings and hits, it strikes with one and a half tons of power! If he leaps and hits, it lands with ten tons of force! You won't survive it, and you won't sleep again, man!
Singam, Singam, he is Durai Singam! Just one glare from him, and even enemies back away! Singam, Singam, he is Durai Singam! Just his arrival is enough to crush all violence!
...
When he charges in wearing his khaki uniform, the mob that came to attack trembles! If he fixes his sharp gaze, even a distant criminal's heart starts pounding with fear!
With clear focus and fierce pride, the cop walks tall! If anyone else acts arrogant, the cop will beat them down! A hard kick from him will shatter your body; a thrashing from him will freeze your soul with terror! In his fury, he is Ayyanar (the fierce guardian deity)!
Singam, Singam, he is Durai Singam! Even when he merely smiles, fear begins to creep in!
...
No fear, no fear, there is no fear at all! Even if the skies crumble and fall upon our heads, even if people scorn us and speak ill of us, no fear, no fear, there is no fear at all!
Guarding is his duty, his sharp mind calculates every angle, waiting patiently before making his move! Even if half his life is spent living rough in hardship, his heart loves this life of duty!
Without resting or hiding, the cop keeps working! Night or day, the cop never sleeps! Hey, wiping out those who throw money around to flaunt their power is his mission! He is the man in khaki who defends justice!
Singam, Singam, he is Durai Singam! If he merely stands his ground, an entire army will cower and hide!
...
No fear, no fear, there is no fear at all! Even if the skies crumble and fall upon our heads, even if people scorn us and speak ill of us, no fear, no fear, there is no fear at all!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song serves as the high-octane hero character anthem for Durai Singam, an unflinching and righteous police officer in Singam 2. Borrowing heavily from Subramania Bharati's immortal poem 'Achamillai Achamillai', the lyrics establish a mood of absolute fearlessness, invincibility, and unwavering commitment to duty in the face of any adversity or criminal element. The lyrics paint Durai Singam as an unstoppable force of nature—equating his speed, power, and authority to winds, storms, and thunderbolts. Through popular mass dialogues and hyperbole, it details the life of a dedicated law enforcer who sacrifices personal peace to maintain justice, instilling sheer terror in lawbreakers while standing as an indestructible protector of the innocent.
