ஆடுற ஆட்டத்தில் முடிவு வரும்
தோற்பது யாரென தெரிந்துவிடும்
உண்மையென்ன என்பதை
சொல்லிக் காட்டுவேன்

ஆடும் ஆட்டம் சூதாட்டம்
ஏனோ இங்கு போராட்டம்
நியாயம் ஏது நியாயம்
அதை தாயம் சொல்லாது
எந்தன் ஆட்டம் இப்போது
போட்டா ஏதும் தப்பாது
மானே அடி நானே
உனை வெல்ல போகின்றேன்

Why is there a conflict here?
Where is justice, what is justice?
The game dice cannot preach justice
Female: My turn to move now
If played, nothing will go wrong
