If you make a name in the country
People will surely sing your praise
Fear does not exist in my dictionary
Ask around for my name
Even a young child can draw my face
பயப்படாத டா உனக்கு
ஒரு வாய்ப்பு இப்போ யாரு

காட்டுவோம் சூப்பர் ஆன படம்

Do not be afraid, brother
Here is an opportunity for you
Who is at the top now?
Look around carefully
We will showcase our power
A super hit movie
From the sky to the earth, from east to west
அச்சம் தவிர் மடமை
விடு உனக்கென்ன சரித்திரம்
படைத்திடு லட்சியம் எடு
வானத்தை தொடு சொன்னா
கேளு மச்சி எதுகோம்
Eliminate fear
Give up ignorance
Create your own history
Set a goal
Touch the sky
Listen to what I say, brother, accept it

விளையாட போகும் போது
சொல்லி வெச்சாங்க ஒண்டிக்கு
ஒண்டி சண்டை போட்டா
உடம்பெல்லாம் நோகுமுன்னு
வீரத்தையும் மொளையிலே
கிள்ளி வச்சாங்க
At the top of the neem tree
That a ghost resides and dances
When going out to play
They used to tell us
If you fight one-on-one
Your entire body will hurt
So they pinched and stifled
Our bravery right in the corner
அட தொட்டில் பழக்கம்
சுடுகாடு வரைக்கும் வருமா மா
அட கரப்பான் பூச்சி மேல உள்ள
பயமும் போகுமா இப்ப பயமே
இல்லன்னு சொன்னவன் எல்லாம்
காணா போனான் அட ஒவ்வொரு
நாளும் பயந்து பயந்து வீணா
போனான்
Will childhood habits
Follow till the burial ground?
Will the fear of small insects
Ever fade away?
Everyone who claimed they had no fear
Disappeared without a trace
By fearing every single day
They wasted their lives away
பயப்படாதே ஹ்ம்ம்
பயப்படாதே டா பயப்படாதே

'Atcham Thavir' is an energetic motivational track penned by Malaysian Tamil hip-hop pioneer Rabbit Mac. The central message of the song centers around overcoming internal fear and dismantling childhood conditioning that holds individuals back from realizing their true potential. It asserts that everything worth achieving in life lies just beyond the barrier of fear, which acts as a self-imposed obstacle.

Trivia
'Atcham Thavir' draws its title directly from Mahakavi Subramaniya Bharathiyar's legendary didactic poetry 'Pudhiya Aathichudi', where 'Atcham Thavir' translates to 'Overcome Fear'. Rabbit Mac incorporates modern hip-hop and local Gana rhythms to deliver classic reformist messages to contemporary youth.
