எதிர் எதிரே நீ நான் நாம்
பழி வாங்க வழி தேடினோம்
விதியென ஓயாமலே
வெறியோடே விளையாடினோம்
Face to face, you, me, and us
We searched for a way to seek revenge
Without just resigning to fate
We played with a raging frenzy
எதிர் எதிரே நீ நான் நாம்
பழி வாங்க வழி தேடினோம்
விதியென போகமலே
வெறியுடனே விளையாடினோம்
Face to face, you, me, and us
We searched for a way to seek revenge
Without just resigning to fate
We played with intense fury
வெறியோடே விளையாடினோம்
We played with a raging frenzy
இது காயம்
நீ குற்றம் செய்தாய் பாவம்
நீ விட்டு சென்ற மிச்சங்கள்
உன்னை துரத்தும் தூரம்… தூரம்..
This is a wound
You committed a crime, a sinful deed
The remnants that you left behind
Will chase you far and wide
உம்மை ஒன்னில்லாது இல்லாது
உன்னை நான் வெற்றி கொள்ளாது
கொள்ளாது கொள்ளாது என்னை
உன் சூழ்ச்சி வெல்லாது
There is no fear, no fear at all
Until I conquer you
It won't kill me, it won't destroy me
Your scheme will not prevail
வீழாமல் வெற்றி கொள்வேன்
தீயாக பற்றி கொள்வேன்
ஆறாத கோபம் எல்லாம்
ஆற்றி கொள்வேன்
Without falling, I will emerge victorious
I will blaze brightly like a flame
All the unquenchable anger within
I will calm and channel it
பயமும் காட்டாதே
துயரம் என்னை சாய்க்காதே
வலையில் வந்து மாட்டிகொள்
Do not show any fear
Sorrow will not bring me down
Come and get caught in the net
நீ சிக்கிட்டா சிக்கிட்டா
சிக்கல் ஒரு முறை தொட்டுட்டா
வச்சிட்டா வச்சிட்டா
அச்சம் ஒரு நொடியில விட்டுட்டா
You got trapped, you got trapped
Once you touch trouble
You set it up, you set it up
Abandoning fear in a single instant
எரிகிற நெருப்பென நான்தான்
எதிரிகள் அணைவது
அணைப்பது வீண்தான்
மடிகின்ற போர்களம் இங்கே வா வா
I am like a raging fire
When enemies try to extinguish it
Trying to put me out is in vain
Come, come to this fatal battlefield!
பழி வாங்கிடவே உனை நான்
இடம் தேடுகிறேன் அடி நான்
பழி வாங்கிடவே உனை நான்
இடம் தேடுகிறேன் அடி நான்
To exact revenge on you, I...
Am searching for the right spot
To exact revenge on you, I...
Am searching for the right spot
எதிர் எதிரே நீ நான் நாம்
பழி வாங்க வழி தேடினோம்
விதியென போகமலே
வெறியுடனே விளையாடினோம்
Face to face, you, me, and us
We searched for a way to seek revenge
Without just walking away as if it's fate
We played with intense fury
எதிர் எதிரே நீ நான் நாம்
பழி வாங்க வழி தேடினோம்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song portrays a tense, high-stakes battle between rivals driven by betrayal and an unyielding desire for vengeance. Instead of accepting suffering as destiny or fate ('Vidhi'), the protagonist chooses to face his enemies head-on with ruthless, fiery determination. He views the conflict as a game of survival where fear is discarded and every wound becomes motivation to push forward. Throughout the track, the lyricist uses intense imagery—comparing the protagonist's rage to an inextinguishable fire on a deadly battlefield. The protagonist warns his opponents that their schemes will fail and that they are walking straight into his trap. Ultimately, the song serves as a powerful anthem of defiance, resilience, and relentless pursuit of justice against all odds.
