அடங்குற நிலை இல்ல
அடக்கி வைக்க உரம் இல்ல
எதுக்குற மனசோட
எரிச்சு விடு பார்வையால
There is no state of submission.
There is no strength in anyone to suppress.
With a mind that confronts,
Burn everything down with your gaze.
அடங்குற நிலை இல்ல
அடக்கி வைக்க உரம் இல்ல
எதுக்குற மனசோட
எரிச்சு விடு பார்வையால
There is no state of submission.
There is no strength in anyone to suppress.
With a mind that confronts,
Burn everything down with your gaze.
தொடங்குற வரும்காலம்
தெரிஞ்சுகிட்டும் உன் பேர
தயங்குற மனசு எல்லாம்
தாண்டி வரும் நீ கூற
The future that is just beginning,
Will come to learn your name.
All minds that hesitate,
Will cross over if you command.
பயணமும் முடியாது
பயந்த மனம் சிரிக்காது
தடைகள உடைக்காம
தக்க பாத கெடைக்காது
The journey will not end,
A fearful mind will never smile.
Without breaking obstacles,
A suitable path cannot be gained.
முடிஞ்சது முடிஞ்சு போச்சு
முக்தி எல்லாம் அடஞ்சு போச்சு
எனக்கு ஒரு எதிரி இங்க
என்ன தவிற வேறாரு
What is finished is finished and gone,
All salvation has been attained.
Who else is my enemy here,
Other than my own self?
முனகல் .....
[Humming]
வஞ்சிக்கிற மனிதர்களை
கெஞ்ச விடும் தனியனடா
சிந்தனையில் கடவுளடா
செயல்கள் அனைத்தும் சாத்தான்டா
To the treacherous human beings,
He is a lone man who makes them beg.
In his thoughts, he is a god,
But all his actions are demonic!
முனகல் ..........
[Humming]
அஞ்சுகிற ஆளு இல்ல டா
அரவும் அலறும் தீ தான் டா
பஞ்சனையில் பதிங்கியவன்
விதியை முடிக்கும் நீதியடா
There is no man here who fears,
He is a roaring fire like a serpent.
He who lay hidden in the cushion,
Is the justice that seals destiny!
எட்டு திசை முழக்கம் அடா
இறைவன் குணமே வழக்கம் அடா
கொள்ளைகார கொடுமைகளை
கொள்ளிபோடும் அரக்கன் அடா
A roar echoing across the eight directions!
Godliness is his usual trait!
He crushes the atrocities of murderers,
He is a monster!
எட்டு திசை முழக்கம் அடா
இறைவன் குணமே வழக்கம் அடா
கொள்ளைகார கொடுமைகளை
கொள்ளிபோடும் அரக்கன் அடா
A roar echoing across the eight directions!
Godliness is his usual trait!
He crushes the atrocities of murderers,
He is a demon!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Killer Killer' serves as an empowering mass theme for the protagonist in Captain Miller. It speaks about an indomitable spirit that refuses to be suppressed or controlled by any oppressive force. The lyrics emphasize defiance, breaking through barriers, and standing tall against treachery and fear. The protagonist is depicted as a lone warrior—divine in his intent for justice, yet ruthless and demonic towards oppressors. Ultimately, the song highlights self-reliance, noting that the only opponent standing in one's way is oneself.
