ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஹோ ஓ ஓ
பிரேதம் இங்கே மறைந்திருக்கும்
குவியல் எங்கும் நிறைந்திருக்கும்
உயிரும் உடலும்
ஏதுமின்றி எங்கேயும் பேய்க்கூட்டம்
Hooo ooo hoo ooo
A corpse lies hidden here
Piles of them fill everywhere
Life and body
Devoid of anything, ghosts dance everywhere
எலும்பும் வேகும் மண்டையோடும்…
எளிதில் படமெடுத்து நெஞ்சில் ஓடும்
குருதியும் உடன் தெரித்து
உடபெங்கும் பயம் கூடும்
Bones burn, along with skulls...
Easily striking like a serpent's hood, running through the heart
Blood splatters immediately
Fear intensifies throughout the body
ரத்தமாய் வேர்வைகள்
காற்றிலே இரவிலும் சுடர்விடும்…
மொத்தமாய் பாதைகள்
பேய்களின் நிழலை
சுழல்படும்
Sweat turns into blood
Glows in the wind even at night...
All the paths completely
Will whirl as shadows of ghosts
கனவுகள் அல்லா…
நிஜத்திலே இன்று…
அழுகிய தேகம்…
மரணத்தின் தாக்கம்…
These are not dreams...
In reality today...
A decayed body...
A thirst for death...
நொடியினில் மரணம்…
கொடியது ஜனனம்…
பலிகளும் தொடரும்…
Death in an instant...
Birth is cruel...
Sacrifices will continue...
Hooo ooo hoo ooo
Hooo ooo hoo ooo
Pretham ingae marainthirukkum
A corpse lies hidden here
Kuviyal yengum nirainthirukkum
Piles of them fill everywhere
Uyirum udalum
Life and body
Yethumindri engaeyum peikkotam
Devoid of anything, ghosts dance everywhere
Elumbum vegum mandaioodum…
Bones burn, along with skulls...
Yelithil padameduthu nenjil oodum
Easily striking like a serpent's hood, running through the heart
Kuruthiyum udan therithu
Blood splatters immediately
Udabengum bayam koodum
Fear intensifies throughout the body
Rathamaai vervaigal
Sweat turns into blood
Kaatrilae iravilum sudarvidum…
Glows in the wind even at night...
Mothamaai paathaigal
All the paths completely
Peigalin nizhalaai suzhalpadum
Will whirl as shadows of ghosts
Kanavugal alla…
These are not dreams...
Nijathilae indru…
In reality today...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This haunting track from the movie Chaitra evokes a deeply eerie and terrifying atmosphere filled with gothic horror imagery. It describes a nightmare landscape strewn with hidden corpses, burning skulls, and dancing spirits. The lyrics paint visceral pictures of intense dread, where sweat turns into blood and ghostly shadows swirl around all paths. Ultimately, the song presents a chilling meditation on mortality and horror, emphasizing that this terror is real rather than a dream, where death strikes in a second and a cycle of cruel births and continuous sacrifices unfolds.

Monai (Initial Alliteration/Assonance) and Antimetabole
