சொல்லிவிடு சொல்லிவிடு சொல்லிவிடு
இறுதி தீர்ப்பை நீ சொல்லிவிடு
நின்றுவிடு நின்றுவிடு நின்றுவிடு
இப்போரில் இவ்விடம் நின்றுவிடு
Speak out, speak out, speak out!
Give your final verdict!
Stop, stop, stop!
Stop right here in this war!
சென்றுவிடு சென்றுவிடு சென்றுவிடு
இந்த யுத்தம் போதும் சென்றுவிடு
இன்னும் உயிர்கள் வேண்டும் என்றால் என்னை
முதலில் நீயே கொன்றுவிடு
கண்ணா என்னை முதலில் கொன்றுவிடு
Go away, go away, go away!
This war is enough, go away!
If you want more lives to be taken,
Kill me first!
Oh Krishna, kill me first!
ஏன் அம்பை எந்த வைத்தாய்
ஏன் குருதியில் நீந்த வைத்தாய்
ஏன் உலகத்தை ஜெயிக்க வைத்தாய்
ஏன் உள்ளுக்குள் தோற்க்கடித்தாய்
Why did you make me raise the arrow?
Why did you make me swim in blood?
Why did you make me win the world,
Yet make me lose inside myself?
உலகத்தை வெல்ல வைத்தாய்
உள்ளுக்குள்ளே தோற்க்கடித்தாய்
காண்டீபன் கேட்கிறேன் கண்ணா
காண்டீபன் கேட்கிறேன்
You made me conquer the world,
Yet defeated me deep within!
I ask for the Gaandeevam bow, Krishna!
I ask for the Gaandeevam bow!
சொல்லிவிடு சொல்லிவிடு சொல்லிவிடு
இறுதி தீர்ப்பை நீ சொல்லிவிடு
நின்றுவிடு நின்றுவிடு நின்றுவிடு
இப்போரில் இவ்விடம் நின்றுவிடு
Speak out, speak out, speak out!
Give your final verdict!
Stop, stop, stop!
Stop right here in this war!
ஆஆஆ… ஆஆஆ.....ஆஆஆ...
காலச்சக்கரம் உன் கையில்
அதில் சுற்றியதேனோ நான்
விதியும் சதியும் உன் கண்ணில்
அதில் சிக்கியதேனோ நான்
Aaaa... aaaa... aaaa...
The wheel of time is in your hands,
Why was I the one caught spinning in it?
Fate and conspiracy are in your eyes,
Why was I trapped in them?
கர்ணனை கொன்ற பாவம்
கண்ணனுக்கு போகுமென்றால்
கண்ணனுக்கே பாவம் தந்த
பாவம் எங்கு போகும் ஐயோ
If the sin of killing Karna,
Goes to Lord Krishna,
Where will the sin go that caused
Sin to be given to Krishna himself? Alas!
சொல்லிவிடு சொல்லிவிடு சொல்லிவிடு
இறுதி தீர்ப்பை நீ சொல்லிவிடு

Speak out, speak out, speak out!
Give your final verdict!
Stop, stop, stop!
Stop right here in this war!
ஓ உலகமே... யுத்தம் எதற்கு
ஓ உயிர்களே..... ரத்தம் எதற்கு
ஓ இறைவனே.... துயரம் எதற்கு
ஓ இதயமே.... வன்மம் எதற்கு
Oh world... why this war?
Oh living beings... why this blood?
Oh God... why this sorrow?
Oh heart... why this malice?
கண்ணா தேரை நிறுத்து
எல்லாம் வீழ்த்தி எவருடன் வாழ
தேரை நிறுத்து....
Oh Krishna, stop the chariot!
After destroying everything, with whom shall we live?
Stop the chariot!
போதும் இந்த குருதிக்குளியல்
போரை நிறுத்து
நாளை உலகம் நலம் பேரும் என்று
போரை நிறுத்து ....
போரை நிறுத்து....
Enough of this bath of blood,
Stop the war!
Hoping that tomorrow's world will prosper,
Stop the war!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This powerful song from Kaaviya Thalaivan draws parallels to the epic Mahabharata, representing Arjuna's internal agony, moral dilemma, and anguish on the Kurukshetra battlefield. The protagonist questions Krishna (the divine guide) about the futility of war, bloodshed, and the psychological cost of victory. Despite conquering the world, the warrior feels utterly defeated from within.
