மற்றும் சதன் நாயக்
Who is he, spoken of in every direction?
Is he an incomprehensible blend?
Who is this spark in a split moment,
The one who was born out of it?
திசை எல்லாம் பேசும் யார் இவனோ
புரியாத கலவையானவனோ
யார் இந்த பொறி முள் நொடி
அதில் பிறந்து வந்தவனே
Is his name the one that echoes with the wind?
Is he a magician who vanishes by tricking the eyes?
From now on, this alone is the crown!
The pride remains the very same!
Whoever comes, he will cut them into pieces!
காற்றோடு தெறிக்கும் பேர் இவனோ
கண் கட்டி மறையும் மாயவனோ
கிரீடமே இனி இதேதான்
திமிரு அதேதான்
எவன் வந்தாலும் துண்டாக்குவான்
Has he come to change time itself?
Will he stand in the likeness of God?
Did he make an entire army collapse just with his gaze?
Is he the God of Death to whoever faces him?
காலம் மாற்றிட வரானோ
கடவுள் சாயலில் நிப்பானோ
பார்வையில் படை விழ வைத்தானோ
எதிர் வருபவன் எமன் இவனோ
Hands up!

வண்ணங்களின் மாயஜாலம்
இது புதுசு ஓ மாயவனே
கண்முன்னே உன் மனம் கேட்கிற
மந்திரம் வரம் ஒன்று தந்தானே
நஞ்சாகி போர்தொடுத்திட
என் அருகே வரும் ராட்சசா
தப்பிக்க காளனின் அருகே
ஒளிந்தவன் இங்கு யாரடா
Shed just a single drop of sweat,
That place will turn into yours!
Threatening everyone, his flag...
Will soar high to touch the sky!
There is no such thing as destruction for him,
His name is like the wind!
ஒரு சொட்டு வேர்வை சிந்திடு
அந்த இடம் உனதென மாறுமே
மிரட்டியே இவன் கொடியே
விண் தொட ஏறுமே
அழிவு என்ற ஒன்று என்றும் இல்லை
காற்றை போலே இவனின் பேரோ
Is the history of him standing tall!
இவன் எழுந்து நிற்கிற வரலாறா.....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Hands Upp' serves as an energetic and grand hero-introduction track in the film 'Avane Srimannarayana'. The lyrics elevate the protagonist to a legendary status, characterizing him as a blend of divine justice, mysterious charm, and formidable power. He is presented as an unstoppable force who strikes fear into his enemies—acting as Yeman (the God of Death) to villains—while exuding supreme confidence and swagger.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Kaalam maatrida vaaraano / Kadavul saayalil nippaano / Paarvaiyil padai vizha vaithaano / Edhir varubavan yeman ivano”
Consecutive lines end with the rhyming suffix '-ano' (vaaraano, nippaano, vaithaano, ivano), creating a rhythmic flow and poetic symmetry.
Simile (Uvamaani)
“Kaatrai polae ivanin pero”
The lyrics compare the hero's name to the wind ('Kaatrai polae') using an explicit comparison, signifying his ubiquitous and unstoppable presence.
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Kaalam maatrida vaaraano / Kadavul saayalil nippaano”
The starting consonants of both lines share the 'K' sound ('Kaalam' / 'Kadavul'), establishing Tamil Monai.
Metaphor
“Edhir varubavan yeman ivano”
Directly metaphorizes the protagonist as 'Yeman' (the Hindu deity of death and justice) to anyone who dares to oppose him.
