அன்பில்லா மனம்
உயிரில்லா பிணம்
A heart without love
Is a lifeless corpse
சாத்தானின் குணம்
வேட்டை ஆடும் ரதம்
It is a trait of the devil
A chariot on a deadly hunt
...........................
காற்றின் வழி
தீரா பலி
விதியின் சதி
தீமை நன்மை
நியாயம் தர்மம்
வீழ்ச்சி சூழ்ச்சி
எல்லாம் என்னுள்
அடங்குவதில்லை
ஆள்பவன் நானே வா
வா....வா....
The path of the wind
Unending blame
A plot of destiny
Evil and good
Justice and righteousness
Downfall and intrigue
All of these within me
Cannot be contained
I am the supreme ruler, come...
Come... come
சரிதிரத்த நல்லா
திருப்பி பார்
அது நமக்கு சொல்லி கொடுத்தது
ஒன்னே ஒன்னுதான்
நம்ம வாழனும்னா
எங்க வேணும்னாலும்
எப்ப வேணும்னாலும்
யாரு வீட்டு முன்னாடி
வேணும்னாலும்
செக்யூரிட்டியா நிக்கலாம் (வசனம்)
Take a good look back
At history
What it has taught us
Is only one single thing
If we want to survive
Wherever it may be
Whenever it may be
In front of anyone's house
If required
We can stand as a security guard (Dialogue)

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track from the movie 'Gurkha' (2019) opens with a dark, intense narrative describing the chaotic forces of evil, destiny, revenge, and unstoppable ambition. The poetic verses build up a sinister, high-stakes atmosphere filled with philosophical reflections on good versus evil and the untamed power within the human psyche.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Anbilla manam / Uyirilla pinam / Sathaanin gunam”
The words 'manam', 'pinam', and 'gunam' at the ends of consecutive lines create a rhythmic end-rhyme scheme.
Ethugai (Second Letter Assonance)
“Veezhchi soozhchi”
The second letter 'zh' (ழ்) repeats in both words, forming classic Tamil Ethugai.
Muran (Antithesis)
“Theemai nanmai”
Juxtaposition of direct antonyms ('Theemai' meaning evil, and 'Nanmai' meaning good) to highlight internal conflict.
Metaphor
“Vaettai aadum radham”
Comparing a ruthless mind/soul to a 'hunting chariot' to emphasize relentless destruction.

Trivia
The song belongs to the comedy-action film 'Gurkha' (2019), directed by Sam Anton and starring comedian Yogi Babu in the lead role as a security guard. Music for the movie was composed by Raj Aryan. The song cleverly juxtaposes a dramatic, villain-style background score with Yogi Babu's humorous dialogue, subverting expectations.
