அடங்காத அசுரன் தான்
வணங்காத மனுஷன்தான்

If you stand shoulder to shoulder with him
He will give his very life for you
போருக்கு போகணும் போகணும்
பொருள எடுத்து வாயா
யார் அங்க ஒடுங்கு ஒதுங்கு
ராயினும் வருவான் தீயா
We must go to war, go to war
Pick up the weapons and come
Who is that over there? Move aside, move aside
Raayan will come like fire

ஹே எட்டு திக்கும்
இங்க நம்ம கைய்யிக்குள்ள
எல்லையே இல்ல இல்ல
அரை ஜானு வயித்துக்கும்
அளவில்லா ஆசைக்கும்
அலையுற கூட்டமில்ல
Hey, in all eight directions
Here, everything is in our hands
There are no boundaries at all
For a half-inch stomach
And for boundless desire
We are not a crowd that wanders aimlessly
கொட்டட்டும் கொட்டட்டும்
மும்மாரி கொட்டட்டும்
காரணம் யாரு புள்ள
நல்லவன் சாவதும்
கெட்டவன் வாழ்வதும்
நம்ம கையில் இல்ல
Let it pour, let it pour
Let the bountiful rainfall pour
Who is the reason, child?
A good person dying
And a bad person living
Is not in our hands
உசுரே நீ தானே நீ தானே
நிழலா உன் கூட நானே
எதுவும் வேணாமே வேணாமே
முடிவும் உன் கூட தானே
You are my life, you indeed are my life
I will stay with you like a shadow
Nothing else is needed, nothing at all
My end too shall be with you

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song captures the fierce, protective, and unyielding spirit of the protagonist, Raayan. It portrays him as a loyal yet fearsome force who would give his life for his family and loved ones, but burn down his enemies like fire. The lyrics reflect on philosophical themes of destiny, human mortality, family bonds, and righteousness versus evil, comparing the destruction of hatred to the traditional festival of Bhogi where old items are burned.

Trivia
This powerful anthem from Dhanush's 50th film 'Raayan' features vocals by both A. R. Rahman and Dhanush himself. The term 'Bhogi' references the Tamil festival day preceding Pongal where old, discarded things are burnt, symbolizing the purging of enmity and negative forces of evil.
