உயிரினும் உயர்ந்தது
பணம் எனும் போது
உலகினில் உலகினில் ஒளி கிடையாது
மனிதனை மனிதனும்
விழுங்கிடும் போது
கனவுகள் உயிர் பெற வழி கிடையாது
When money is considered
Higher than life itself
There is no light left in this world
When man consumes
Fellow man
There is no way for dreams to come alive
கீழே மிகக் கீழே
நம்பிக்கை புதையுதடா.....
மேலே அதன் மேலே
எல்லாமே சிதையுதடா....
Down, deep down below
Hope gets buried, my friend
Up, high above that
Everything gets shattered, my friend
பிறருக்கு வரந்தரா
அறிவென்ன அறிவு
இருளினை நிறுத்திடு ஐங்கரனே
கருங்கருங்குழியினில்
சுருங்குது மனிதம்
ஒரு கரம் கொடுத்திடு ஐங்கரனே
What kind of intellect is a mind
That does not bestow blessings upon others?
Stop this darkness, Oh Ayngaran!
Into a dark black pit
Humanity shrinks
Lend a helping hand, Oh Ayngaran!
ஏன் இது ஏன்?.....
எமை நாமே அழிப்பது ஏன்?.....
ஏன் அது ஏன்?.....
பிறகுன்னை பழிப்பது ஏன்?.....
Why is this, why?
Why do we destroy ourselves?
Why is that, why?
Why blame fate afterwards?
பொய்களின் புன்னிய வேடத்தை எல்லாம்
பொசுக்கிட வா வா ஐங்கரனே...
நன்மையை மிதித்திடும் நரிகளை எல்லாம்
நசுக்கிட வா வா ஐங்கரனே.....
All the holy disguises of lies
Come to burn them down, Oh Ayngaran!
All the foxes that trample upon goodness
Come to crush them, Oh Ayngaran!
ஹா.....ஆஆ.....ஆஆ.....ஹா.....ஆஅ.....

தீ ஒரு தீ
இதயத்தில் முளைக்குதடா
ஊர் முழுதும்
ஒரு சேர்ந்தே அணைக்குதடா
A fire, a fire
Sprouts in the heart
The entire town
Unites to douse it together
முடிந்திடும் முடிந்திடும்
முடிந்திடும் என்றே
உறுதியை கொடுத்திடு ஐங்கரனே
விடிந்திடும் விடிந்திடும்
விடிந்திடும் என்றே
இரவினை முடித்திடு ஐங்கரனே
Saying 'it will end, it will end'
'It will surely end'
Give us that assurance, Oh Ayngaran!
Saying 'it will dawn, it will dawn'
'It will surely dawn'
Put an end to the night, Oh Ayngaran!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from 'Ayngaran' is a sharp socio-political commentary on greed, moral corruption, and the devaluation of human life in modern society. It critiques a world where money is prioritized over life and where people destroy each other for selfish gains, leaving hope buried beneath falsehoods and injustice. The lyrics call upon 'Ayngaran'—a symbol of divine justice and righteous action—to expose hypocritical disguises, eliminate predatory evil, and lead humanity out of dark times. It expresses a passionate plea for guidance, hope, and an end to societal night.
