தோட்டா லோட் ஆகி வெயிட்டிங்
கொயட்டா செஞ்சு விட பிளேனிங்
The bullet is loaded and waiting
Planning to do it quietly
லைட்டா கேப் கெடச்சாலும் ஷூட்டிங்
நெலவரம் தெரியாம அவன் மட்டும் சில்லிங்
Shooting even if a slight gap is found
Without knowing the situation, he alone is chilling
தோட்டா லோட் ஆகி வெயிட்டிங்
கொயட்டா செஞ்சு விட பிளேனிங்
The bullet is loaded and waiting
Planning to do it quietly
லைட்டா கேப் கெடச்சாலும் ஷூட்டிங்
நெலவரம் தெரியாம அவன் மட்டும் சில்லிங்
Shooting even if a slight gap is found
Without knowing the situation, he alone is chilling
யானை வேட்டைக்கு போனா மொதல்ல
குழிய வெட்டித்தான் வெயிட் பண்ணணும்
First, if you go elephant hunting
You must dig a pit and wait
உன் எதிரி யானை மாதிரி இருந்தா
அடிக்குற அடியில அவன் தலை கலங்கனும்
If your enemy is like an elephant
His head should reel with the blow you deliver
வழி இல்லடா வேற வழி இல்லடா
ஒரு முறை தொடங்குனா முடிவில்லடா
There is no way, man, no other way, man
Once started, there is no end, man
சரி இல்லடா ஏதும் தவறில்லடா
உன் இரைய பாத்து நீ குறி வையுடா
It is not right, man, nothing is wrong, man
Look at your prey and take aim, man
தோட்டா லோட் ஆகி வெயிட்டிங்
கொயட்டா செஞ்சு விட பிளேனிங்
The bullet is loaded and waiting
Planning to do it quietly
லைட்டா கேப் கெடச்சாலும் ஷூட்டிங்
நெலவரம் தெரியாம அவன் மட்டும் சில்லிங்
Shooting even if a slight gap is found
No warnings from now on
காட்டுக்கு ராஜா சிங்கம்னாலும்
களவாணிதனம் பண்ண நரி வேணும்
Even if the lion is the king of the jungle
You need a fox to do sneaky acts
உன் கத்திய விடவும் புத்தி தான் தேவ மாமு
ஓவர் அதுப்புல எடுப்போம் கவுத்தோம்னு
எதுலையும் எறங்கிட முடியாது
ஆழம் தெரியாம கால விடாத மாமு
யூனிஃபார்ம்ல நீ இருந்தா
உன தொட்டிடவே மாட்டோம்டா
காக்கி சட்டய கழட்டிட்டு வந்தா
உன் கதைய நாங்க முடிபோம்டா
More than your knife, brains are
Needed, my friend
In over-enthusiasm, hastily doing things
You cannot jump into anything
நல்ல நேரம் பாத்து ஊரு ஒண்ணு கூடி
பூஜை ஒண்ணு போட காத்திருக்குது
மஞ்ச தண்ணி ஊத்தி கத்தி எல்லாம் தீட்டி
கட் பண்ண ஆடு காத்திருக்குது
Without knowing the depth, your feet
Do not step in, my friend
If you are in uniform, we won't even touch
You, man
If you take off your khaki shirt and come
We will finish your story, man
தோட்டா லோட் ஆகி வெயிட்டிங்
கொயட்டா செஞ்சு விட பிளேனிங்
Looking for an auspicious time, the entire town
Has gathered and is waiting to perform a ritual
Pouring turmeric water and sharpening the knives
The goat is waiting to be sacrificed
லைட்டா கேப் கெடச்சாலும் ஷூட்டிங்
நெலவரம் தெரியாம அவன் மட்டும் சில்லிங்
The bullet is loaded and waiting
Planning to do it quietly
