மொட்ட சிவா
கெட்ட சிவா டா
Motta Shiva (Shiva with a shaved head)
Bad Shiva, man!
இவன் காக்கி
சட்ட ஃபயரு அவன்
கண்ண பாரு பவரு எம
தர்மன் வீட்டு கயிறு
இவன் கையில் எதிரி
உயிரு
His khaki uniform is fire
Look at the power in his eyes
Like the rope of Yama (God of Death)
The enemy's life rests in his hands
இவன் வாழும்
போதே வரலாறு வலது
கையில் ரிவோல்வேரு
பாரு
Even while he is living
He is history in the making
In his right hand
Look at the revolver

இவனை வெல்லத்தான்
அட உன்னால் முடியாது காற்றை
வெட்டத்தான் ஒரு கத்தி கிடையாது
To defeat him
Hey, you cannot do it
To cut through the wind
There is no knife
என்னோட இடமென்ன
எதிரிதான் தீர்மானிப்பான்
எப்போதும் யுத்தம் வந்தால்
இவனே தான் முன்னே நிப்பான்
What my sweet spot is
Only the enemy will decide
Whenever war comes
He alone will stand at the front
வாலாட்ட எவன்
வந்தாலும் வெப்பேன் டா
ஆப்பு தலை கீழா பிடிச்சாலும்
நீதான் டா டாப்பு
Whoever comes wagging their tail
I will put a strong obstacle to them
Even if held upside down
You are at the top, man
{ ரியல் ரியல் இவன்
ரியல் ஹீரோ தாண்டா செயல்
செயல் இவன் செயல்
புயல்தான் } (2)

ஒவ்வொரு கடவுள்
கையில் வெவ்வேறு ஆயுதம்
உண்டு அந்தந்த ஆயுதம்
எல்லாம் உன் கையில்
மட்டும் உண்டு
In the hands of every god
There is a different weapon
All those weapons combined
Are present in your hands alone
சிக்கல்தான் உந்தன்
பக்கம் மக்கள் தான் எந்தன்
பக்கம் இதுவரைக்கும்
ட்ரைலர் பாத்த இனிமே
தான் எக்க சக்கம்
Trouble is on your side
The people are on my side
You only saw the trailer until now
From now on it is going to be wild and unstoppable
எமனோட கூட்டாளி
நான் எல்லாமே தூளு நான்
தான் டா மனித சிங்கம்
கிளைமாக்ஸில் பாரு
I am a partner of Yama
Everything is turned to dust
I am the human lion
Watch me in the climax
