மொக்க பீஸு டம்மி பீஸு
சைடு வாங்கு
காத கொடுத்து நல்ல கேளு
நான்தான் வெயிட்டு
அடிபட்ட புலிகிட்ட பலிக்காது
உன் சேட்டை
மட்ட கிட்ட மாட்டுன
நீ சப்பி போட்ட கொட்டை
Boring piece, dummy piece
Step aside
Lend your ear and listen well
I am the real deal
With an injured tiger
Your antics will not work
If you get caught with Matta
You are just a sucked-out seed
என் சொல்லு மிரட்டும்
தீயா தெறிக்கும்
என் படை கூட
இறங்கி நெருக்கி செய்யும்
மீசையை முறுக்கி வரேன்
என்னை வெல்ல முடியாது
என் அட்டகாசம் அதிகாரம்
பட்டய கெளப்பது
My words will intimidate
The spark will burst out
Even my army
Will get down and corner you
I come twirling my mustache
No one can defeat me
My rampage and authority
Will rock the floor
என் பேரு மட்ட

No fear

No fear
There is no fear at all
மதயானை தோற்றுவிடும்
சினம் கொண்ட சிங்கத்திடம்
என்னை மோதும் படையெல்லாம்
புறமுதுகு காட்டிவிடும்
Even a rogue elephant will lose
To an enraged lion
All forces that clash with me
Will turn around and flee
குழி தோண்டும் பல பேரு
வரும் போகும் வரலாறு
ஒரு யுத்தம் வரும் போது
சரி தவறு கிடையாது
Many who dig pits
History sees them come and go
When a war breaks out
There is no right or wrong
போட்டு வருவேன் ராஜா நடை
விடாமல் கொடுப்பேன் எரிச்சலை
நிக்காம நிக்காம துரத்துமே
நம்ம அத்திரி புத்திரி ஆட்டமே
I walk with a royal stride
I will relentlessly irritate my foes
It will chase you endlessly
Our mind-blowing dance and move
கழகம் செய்யுறோம் கிளம்பிரு
முன்னாடி வராதே விலகிடு
கொடுக்குற சௌண்டுல கிழியுது செவுலு
அடிக்கிற அடியில பிரியுமே ஜவ்வு
We cause riot, now leave
Do not come ahead, move aside
The ear drum rips at the sound made
The tissue ruptures with the hit given
என் மக்கள் என் பக்கம்
எல்லாமே என் சட்டம்
ஆங்கார தாண்டவம்
இனிமேல் ஆரம்பம்
பயமில்லா இளங்கன்று
பாயுது வெறி கொண்டு
மோதவே முடியாது
மூடிட்டு நீ கேளு
My people are on my side
Everything is my law
Fierce cosmic dance
Begins from now on
A fearless young calf
Pounces with madness
You cannot clash with me
Keep quiet and listen
உடை வாளை வீசவே
அதிகாரம் பிறக்குதே
எதிராளி மார்பிலே
பதம் பார்க்க துடிக்குதே
அடையாளம் பதிக்கவே
தடை மீறி பாயுதே
To brandish the drawn sword
Authority is born
In the chest of the enemy
It yearns to strike
To imprint an identity
It leaps breaking all barriers

He claims the unwavering support of his people and declares his reign, celebrating his unstoppable rise with the chant 'Annanukku Jey' (Hail the Elder Brother).
