எத்தனை மாந்தர்கள்
எத்தனை ஆசைகள்
எத்தனை கோபங்கள்
எத்தனை வாதங்கள்
எத்தனை பயங்கள்
எத்தனை வேஷங்கள்
எத்தனை வார்த்தைகள்
எத்தனை பொய்கள்
எத்தனை பார்வைகள்
எத்தனை போலி சால்வைகள்
How many human beings
How many desires
How many rages
How many arguments
How many fears
How many disguises
How many words
How many lies
How many glances
How many fake honor shawls
இது என கலியுகம் பரவுது
வானம் எங்கும் பொய்மை வென்று
ஊர் எங்கும் முகநாக நகைத்து
பேசும் மனதில் பகைமை உண்டு
What kind of dark age is this to witness?
Falsehood winning everywhere under the sky
Laughing with a fake smile across the town
While hatred lives in the talking heart
எங்கெங்கும் சுயநலம்
நீ செத்தாலும் வாழ்ந்தாலும்
என்கென்னவென்று
என்றாலும் வீழ்த்தாலும்
இங்கே உண்மைக் கென்றும்
வெற்றி உண்டு
Selfishness everywhere
Whether you live or die
Asking 'What do I care?'
Regardless of whether you fall
Here, for truth, always
Victory exists
லைப் பே ஒரு கேம்
வந்தா கார்டு அ டோன்ட் ப்ளேம்
கெடச்சா வாய்ப்ப வச்சு ஃப்ளே
இங்க ரூல்ஸ் இல்ல டேய்
டை இஸ் மணி
ஜெயிக்க ஒரு வழி சுயநலமே
Life is a game
Don't blame the card you were dealt
Play using the opportunity you got
Hey, there are no rules here
Time is money
The only way to win
Is selfishness
கவனம் சிதறினால் விபரீதமே
நிழலாக மர்மம் தொடரும்
விழியோரம் தோன்றி மறையும்
கண் விழித்து தேடும் தடயம்
கண்ணெதிரே பார்த்து சிரிக்கும்
If your focus strays, disaster strikes
Like a shadow, mystery lingers
Appearing and disappearing at the corner of the eye
The clue that open eyes search for
Laughs right in front of your eyes
நீ காணும் எழுத்து இடையில்
விடைகள் காத்து கிடக்கும்
கண் இமைக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு நொடியும்
மரணம் நெருங்கும்
In between the simple things you see
Answers lie waiting
With every single blink of an eye
Death draws closer
யார் இங்கே நண்பன்
யார் இங்கே பகைவன்
இருள் விலகும் நேரம்
வேஷம் வெழுத்திடுமே
Who is a friend here, who is an enemy here?
When darkness lifts, the disguise will fade away
யார் இங்கே நண்பன்
யார் இங்கே பகைவன்
இருள் விலகும் நேரம்
வேஷம் வெழுத்திடுமே
Who is a friend here, who is an enemy here?
When darkness lifts, the disguise will fade away
யார் இங்கே நண்பன்
யார் இங்கே பகைவன்
இருள் விலகும் நேரம்
வேஷம் வெழுத்திடுமே
Who is a friend here, who is an enemy here?
When darkness lifts, the disguise will fade away
யார் இங்கே நண்பன்
யார் இங்கே பகைவன்
இருள் விலகும் நேரம்
வேஷம் வெழுத்திடுமே
Who is a friend here, who is an enemy here?
When darkness lifts, the disguise will fade away
நேற்று இந்த நேரம் நேரம்
என்ன ஆனாதோ
விடைகள் கிடைத்திடுமா
வாழ்க்கை ஒரு ஓடம்
நீ ஓடினால் படகு கவிழ்ந்திடுமா
Yesterday at this time, this time
What came to pass?
Will any answers be found?
Life is a boat
If you run around, will the boat
Capsize?
நேற்று இந்த நேரம் நேரம்
என்ன ஆனாதோ
விடைகள் கிடைத்திடுமா
காலம் பதில் சொல்லும் என்றாலும்
என் காயங்கள் ஆறிடுமா
Yesterday at this time, this time
What came to pass?
Will any answers be found?
Even if time offers an answer
Will my wounds ever heal?
உலகின் பார்வைக்கு
நான் ஒரு மிருகம்
ஆனால் நரகம் செல்லும் போது
என் தலையில் மகுடம்
In the eyes of the world
I am a beast
But when going to hell
There is a crown on my head
Vibrating sounds of weeping
Play like music in my ears
Severing life away
Is the mercy I show
அதிரும் கதறல் சத்தங்கள்
காதில் இசைக்கும்
உயிரைப் பிரிப்பது
நான் காட்டும் இரக்கம்
On the stage of the entire world
Asking what is your role and what is my role
When suffering in loneliness
Asking what is your thought and what is my thought
Awakening in the night
What is the purpose of our shadow?
உலகெங்கும் மேடையில்
உன் பங்கு என் பங்கு என
தனிமையில் வாடும் போது
உன் எண்ணம் என் எண்ணம் என
In your dream, what is the hidden desire
That you are afraid of?
இரவினில் விழிதிடும்
நம் நிழலின் நோக்கம் என்ன
கனவானில் நீ அஞ்சிடும்
மறைந்திருக்கும் ஆசை என்ன
Who is a friend here, who is an enemy here?
When darkness lifts, the disguise will fade away
யார் இங்கே நண்பன்
யார் இங்கே பகைவன்
இருள் விலகும் நேரம்
வேஷம் வெழுத்திடுமே
Who is a friend here, who is an enemy here?
When darkness lifts, the disguise will fade away
யார் இங்கே நண்பன்
யார் இங்கே பகைவன்
இருள் விலகும் நேரம்
வேஷம் வெழுத்திடுமே
Who is a friend here, who is an enemy here?
When darkness lifts, the disguise will fade away
யார் இங்கே நண்பன்
யார் இங்கே பகைவன்
இருள் விலகும் நேரம்
வேஷம் வெழுத்திடுமே
Who is a friend here, who is an enemy here?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Netru Indha Neram' is a gritty, cynical hip-hop track that delves into themes of betrayal, facade, human hypocrisy, and psychological angst. The song repeatedly reflects on how quickly time and circumstances shift ('Yesterday at this time'), questioning the true intentions of those around us. It depicts a dog-eat-dog world where selfishness is treated as a survival strategy, life is described as a game without rules, and truth is hidden beneath layers of deceit.
