கோலின் நுனியில் உருவம் கொண்டார்
கொல்ல துணிந்தால் நானும் பொறுப்பேனோ...
என்னை துறத்தி மெய்யை வருத்தி
விதியை திருத்த இனியும் இருப்பாரோ
They took form at the tip of the rod.
If they dare to kill, will I remain tolerant?
Chasing me and torturing the body,
Will they remain any longer to rewrite destiny?
பாவை ஆட்டும், ஏகன் நானே
சாவை காட்டும் காலன் நான்தானே
I am the singular master who controls the puppets,
I am the god of death who shows the end.
படைத்த இவனை பகைத்த எதுவும்
சிதறும் துகளாய் காற்றில் போய்விடும்
விதைத்த பயிரை அருகும் தருணம்
கருணை விடுத்தே காடு சேர்ந்திடும்
Anything that antagonizes this creator
Will shatter into particles and vanish in the wind.
When the time arrives to harvest the sown crops,
Mercy is abandoned, retreating into the wilderness.
கணக்கை மீறி பறக்கும் வேட்கை
நிலைப்பதில்லை நீரில் போய்விடும்
கடைசி தேதி படைத்த யாக்கை
இவனின் கோலே கொண்டு தீர்த்திடும்
The soaring desire that exceeds all calculations
Will not endure; it will dissolve into water.
The mortal body created with an expiration date
Will be finished off by his own rod.
மரணம் கேட்கும் குருதி கோலம்
மரணம் கேட்கும் குருதி கோலம்
மரணம் கேட்கும் குருதி கோலம்
விதி யார் இங்கே வெல்வார்
விதி யார் இங்கு வெல்வார்
விதி யார் இங்கு வெல்வார்...
A bloody pattern demanding death,
A bloody pattern demanding death,
A bloody pattern demanding death,
Who here can conquer fate?
Who here can conquer fate?
Who here can conquer fate?
Kolin nuniyil uruvam kondaar
They took form at the tip of the rod.
Kolla thunindhaal naanum poruppaeno?..
If they dare to kill, will I remain tolerant?
Ennai thurathi meiyai varuthi
Chasing me and torturing the body,
Vidhiyai thirutha iniyum iruppaaro?..
Will they remain any longer to rewrite destiny?
Paavai aattum, aegan naane
I am the singular master who controls the puppets,
Saavai kaattum kaalan naanthaane
I am the god of death who shows the end.
Padaitha ivanai pagaitha edhuvum
Anything that antagonizes this creator
Sidharum thugalaai kaatril poividum
Will shatter into particles and vanish in the wind.
Vidhaitha payirai arukkum tharunam
When the time arrives to harvest the sown crops,
Karunai viduthe kaadu serndhidum
Mercy is abandoned, retreating into the wilderness.
Kanakkai meeri parakkum vetkai
The soaring desire that exceeds all calculations
Nilaippadhillai neeril poividum
Will not endure; it will dissolve into water.
Kadaisi thedhi padaitha yaakkai
The mortal body created with an expiration date
Ivanin kole kondru theerthidum
Will be finished off by his own rod.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Maayakoothu' is an intense, philosophical anthem centering on themes of fate, cosmic order, mortality, and supreme power. The speaker asserts himself as an almighty force—a puppet master and harbinger of death—warning that anyone who dares to defy creation or rewrite destiny will inevitably be destroyed.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Edhugai (Second Syllable Rhyme)
“Padaitha ivanai pagaitha edhuvum / Vidhaitha payirai arukkum tharunam”
The second syllable rhyming pattern is present across lines, such as 'Padaitha' (படைத்த) and 'Vidhaitha' (விதைத்த).
Metaphor (Uruvagam)
“Paavai aattum, aegan naane / Saavai kaattum kaalan naanthaane”
Life is metaphorically depicted as a puppet show, with the speaker portraying himself as the ultimate puppeteer ('Paavai aattum aegan') and time/death ('Kaalan').
Visual Imagery
“Sidharum thugalaai kaatril poividum”
Creates a vivid visual image of destruction where arrogant opposition shatters into microscopic dust particles carried away by the breeze.
Rhetorical Question
“Vidhi yaar ingae velvaar?”
The repeated closing line asks who can conquer fate, emphasizing the inevitability of destiny rather than seeking an answer.
