Male
Kadaisi nimidam nimidamada unakuIt is the last minute for you.
Kadaisi nodigal nodigalada unakuIt is the last few seconds for you.
Maaratha paga tholil vaithu vanthen naan naanI have been carrying an unyielding grudge on my shoulder.
Mudinthaal thatti par edhiril ninnu parTry to knock it off if you can, stand before me and see.
Udanju povaai ada ada intha nimidamYou will shatter, hey, in this very minute.
Karanju povai ada ada intha nodigalYou will melt away, hey, in these very seconds.
Mudinthaal thottu par arugil vanthu parTouch me if you can, come near and see.
Dhrogam yen seithai paavam yen seithaiWhy did you commit betrayal? Why did you commit sin?
Yen seithaiWhy did you do it?
Seitha paavathuku maru madiyumFor the sin you committed, a second demise...
Naan tharugirenI am giving to you.
Vangi kol vangi kol vettu vangi kolTake it, take it, receive the strike!
Udambil un uyir un thalai en kaiyila daWhile life is in your body, your head is in my hands, man!
