போரின் நடுவிலே
தலைவன் மாரிலே
ஒருவன் பசிக்கென
வேட்டை துவங்குதே
In the middle of the battle,
Upon the leader's chest,
To satisfy one's hunger,
The hunt begins.
நரிகள் கூட்டமோ
வழியில் கிடக்குதே
குருதி ஆட்டமோ
காட்டில் நடக்குதே
A pack of foxes
Lies scattered in the path.
A dance of blood
Is taking place in the forest.
படைகள் நூறு வந்தும்
போதவில்லையே
தடுக்க வந்த பகையும்
வெல்லவில்லையே
Even if a hundred armies arrive,
It is still not enough.
The enemies who came to stop him
Have failed to conquer.
போர்க்கண்ட சிங்கம்
யார் கண்டு அஞ்சும்
The lion that has seen battles,
Whom will it ever fear?
போர்க்கண்ட சிங்கம்
யார் கண்டு அஞ்சும்
மாறாது மாறாது
இவன் வீரமே... வீரனே
The lion that has seen battles,
Whom will it ever fear?
Will never change, never change,
His unyielding valor...
O warrior!
போர்க்கண்ட சிங்கம்
யார் கண்டு அஞ்சும்
வீரனே....… வீரனே…
The lion that has seen battles,
Whom will it ever fear?
O warrior... O warrior...
போர்க்கண்ட சிங்கம்
யார் கண்டு அஞ்சும்
The lion that has seen battles,
Whom will it ever fear?
போர்க்கண்ட சிங்கம்
The lion that has seen battles.

Upon the leader's chest,
Oruvan pasikkena
To satisfy one's hunger,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Porkanda Singam is a high-octane anthem from the movie Vikram (2022) that celebrates the fierce determination, experience, and battle-hardened nature of a legendary warrior. The lyrics paint a graphic picture of a deadly hunt occurring amidst opposition, where enemies are likened to cunning foxes in a bloody forest battle ground, unable to stop the protagonist. The theme highlights that a hero who has faced countless wars possesses an unyielding spirit and fears no adversary, no matter how vast their forces may be.
