நொடியில்
நொடியில் முடிவெடுப்பான்
இடியின் மடியில் தினம்
படுப்பான் அடியில் வெடியில்
உயிரெடுப்பான் நிழல் போல்
இருப்பான்
In a split second,
He makes a decision.
Daily in the lap of thunder,
He sleeps.
Amidst strikes and explosions,
He takes lives.
He remains like a shadow,
எதிரும் புதிரும்
போல் இருப்பான் அதிரும்
செயலில் பூப்பறிப்பான்
உதிரும் உயிரில்
கணக்கெடுப்பான்
நெருப்பாய் நடப்பான்
Like an opponent and a puzzle,
He will be.
In earth-shattering acts,
He plucks flowers with ease.
In lives that fall,
He keeps count.
He walks like fire.
உலகம் அதிகாலை
சோம்பல் முறிக்கும் ஆனால்
இவன் கையில் தோட்டா தெறிக்கும்
While the world in the early morning
Stretches lazily,
What is touched by his hands
Will explode into pieces.
ஒரு சமயம்
இவன் செயல் நியாயம்
மறு சமயம் இவன்
செயல் மாயம்
At one moment,
His act is righteous;
At another moment,
His act is an illusion.

Shattering and blasting
Music, he likes.
A smiling,
Heart, he likes.
Bursting and exploding
Sound, he likes.
The master of the night,
தெறிக்கும்
தெறிக்கும் இசை
புடிக்கும் சிரிக்கும்
சிரிக்கும் மனம் புடிக்கும்
வெடிக்கும் வெடிக்கும்
ஒளி பிடிக்கும் இரவின்
தலைவன்
He will do anything.
Instantly,
A tea feast;
Along with danger,
He goes and conquers.
With lightning speed,
A youth who operates.
எதையும்
செய்வான் உடனுக்குடன்
தேநீர் விருந்து ஆபத்துடன்
செல்வான் வெல்வான்
வேகத்துடன் இயங்கும்
இளைஞன்
Even roses would lose to
His handsome face;
If you look deep inside,
He has a roaring nature.
ரோஜாக்கள்
தோற்கும் இவனின்
முகமே உள் சென்று
பார்த்தால் உறுமும் குணமே
"Ah, let it go,"
He will say,
Yet daily, his enmity
He devours like food.
அட போனால்
போகட்டும் என்பான்
தினம் பகையை
உணவென உண்பான்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This title theme from the movie 'Bheema' serves as a high-octane character introduction describing the dual nature of the protagonist (played by Vikram). The lyrics depict a man who is both captivating and lethal—possessing a handsome, rose-like exterior alongside a fierce, roaring inner nature. He operates fearlessly in the high-stakes underworld, making split-second decisions and walking through danger like fire. Through intense imagery, lyricist Pa. Vijay paints him as an enigma who sleeps in the lap of thunder, devours hostility like daily bread, yet maintains a sense of personal justice and charm. The song establishes the hero's invincibility, speed, and complex morality as a ruler of the night.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Ethugai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Nodiyil nodyil / Mudiveduppaan / Idiyin madiyil dhinam / Paduppaan”
The second consonant 'di' (டி) repeats across lines 11-14 creating a strong rhythmic structure.
Iyaipu (End Rhyme)
“Isai pudikkum / Manam pudikkum / Oli pudikkum”
The phrase 'pudikkum' repeats at the end of lines 47, 49, and 51 to form a catchy end rhyme.
Simile / Metaphor
“Neruppaai nadappaan”
Compares the protagonist's fierce walk and presence directly to fire ('walks like fire').
Muran (Antithesis / Contrast)
“Ivan seyal nyayam / Maru samayam / Ivan seyal maayam”
Contrasts 'nyayam' (justice/righteousness) with 'maayam' (illusion/mystery) to portray the dual character of the protagonist.
Hyperbole
“Dhinam pagaiyai / Unavena unbaan”
Exaggerates the protagonist's combativeness by describing him devouring enmity like daily food.

Trivia
Although the music director is noted as Unknown in the context, the soundtrack for 'Bheema' (2008) was composed by Harris Jayaraj, marking one of his celebrated action-score collaborations with director N. Lingusamy and actor Vikram. The energetic title theme uses heavy vocal scatting and rock-infused beats to establish Vikram's tough gangster persona.
