Cross beyond the pain
யுத்தம் என்பதில்
ரத்தம் என்பது தர்மம் தானடா
காயம் மாறினால் நியாயம்
மாறிடும் உடனே தொடங்கடா
In war, shedding blood
Is righteousness itself, my friend
When wounds heal, justice changes
Start immediately, my friend
வேட்டை தொடங்கிட
வேட்கை தீர்ந்திட வேகம்
கொல்லடா மாயம் புரிந்ததும்
வாழ்க்கை கசந்திடும் உண்மை
தானடா
For the hunt to begin and cravings to end
Pick up the speed, my friend
Once the illusion is realized, life turns bitter
That is the truth, my friend

பாவம் என்று
எதுவும் இல்லை பாதை
மாறடா நியாயம் தர்மம்
எல்லாம் இங்கே சந்தை
பொருளடா
There is no such thing as a sin
Change your path, my friend
Justice and righteousness here
Are mere market commodities, my friend
உலகம் உன்னை
வணங்கிட நீயும் கோபம்
கொல்லடா பேயும் தெய்வமும்
மனிதா உனது பயமே தானடா
For the world to bow down to you
Embrace your anger, my friend
Both the devil and God, oh human
Are born merely out of your fear
ஹே பாதை மாறும்
போது நெஞ்சில் அச்சம் தேவை
இல்லை ஒரு வண்ணம் மறுத்த
போது அங்கே புத்தன் தோன்றினாரே
Hey..
When your path changes, in your heart
There is no need for fear
When one rejected the established order
It was right there that the Buddha emerged

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
‘Oh Maname’ is an intense, dark, and philosophical rock track from the film 'David' that explores inner angst, revenge, and the harsh realities of existence. The song urges the mind to step into the fire of suffering and overcome pain through decisive action rather than passive endurance. It challenges conventional morality, positing that concepts like justice, sin, and virtue are merely societal commodities traded for convenience. The lyricist urges the protagonist to discard fear and channel rage to gain power over a brutal world. By asserting that gods and demons are fabrications of human fear, the song advocates for self-transformation. Citing the Buddha's emergence after rejecting established norms, the lyrics emphasize that true liberation and enlightenment come when one fearlessly steps off the conventional path.
