ஆழம் பாக்கவே கால வெக்குறான்
ஆட்டு கூட்டமா
இனி உணவா அவரின் உணவா
காரம் சேர்த்திட ஆளும் இல்லையே
உன் ரத்தம்தான் ருசி
நீ ருசி சேர்க்க
நான் தான் ராஜா
உன் காட்டை தேடிதான் பாதை
தெரியுதே
நான் தான் ராஜா
உன் காட்டை தேடிதான் பாதை

He steps in just to test the depth
Like a herd of sheep

For you to add flavor
I am the king
Searching for your body, a path
Is clearly visible
I am the king
Searching for your body, a path

In my affectionate hands, they are history
They cannot endure facing the battlefield, Oh Mother
ஆள நினைத்தால் முடியாது
