ஒரு யாகம்
ஒரு தியாகம் கதை ஒன்றோ……
ஆரம்பம் இரும்பென்றே மனதின்மம்
நெருப்பென்றே………
அதில் வன்மம்
A sacred ritual,
A ultimate sacrifice,
A grand story...
Begins now.
Like solid iron,
The mind's resolve is firm;
Like blazing fire...
Vengeance burns within it.
மரணம் ஒன்றில்
பிறக்கும் பருவம்
மரணம்தான் குடிக்கும்
அவ்வானமோ வாழ்த்தி இடிக்கும்
Out of a single death,
A formless spirit is born.
Death itself shall drink it,
And the vast sky...
Will thunder in praise!
வா வா மன்னவா
வா வா மன்னவா
மண்ணெல்லாம் பாடும்
உன் பாதத்தை வெற்றி தேடும்
Come, oh King!
Come, oh King!
The entire earth will sing
Of your footsteps.
Victory shall seek you out.
பலி தாங்கி உளி
வாங்கி படைப்பானோ…………
எதிா்காலம் உதிரத்தில்
சினம் ஓடும் துளியாவும்
Bearing the blame,
Enduring the chisel's strikes,
Will he shape...
சிவம் சிவம்
The future?
In his blood,
Rage surges;
Every single drop is
Shiva himself!
Oru yaagam
A sacred ritual,
Oru thiyaagam
A ultimate sacrifice,
Kathai ondroo…
A grand story...

The mind's resolve is firm;
Neruppendrae…..
Like blazing fire...
Athil vanmam
Vengeance burns within it.

Out of a single death,
Pirakkum aruvam
A formless spirit is born.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This powerful theme song from 'Baahubali 2: The Conclusion' captures the epic rise of a heroic king born from sacrifice, tragedy, and unyielding destiny. It highlights the protagonist's fierce determination—a mind as strong as iron and a vengeance that burns like fire—arising from the ashes of death and betrayal to reclaim righteousness. The lyrics portray the hero as a sculptor's art, enduring the chisel strikes of pain and injustice to sculpt a glorious future. His righteous fury is not mere violence, but a divine crusade where every drop of his blood is imbued with the sacred power of Lord Shiva, hailed by the heavens and the earth alike as he steps forward to reclaim his realm.
