Modhum paarai kooda manna maari pogattum
Vaazha thaara pola onna sernthu vaazhattum
Seerum kaalai ivan kombil kuthi saaikattum
Orrum paasam ellam nalla thala thookkattum
Varlaam varlaam vaa
Varlaam varlaam vaa
Varlaam varlaam vaa
Varlaam vaa bairavaa
Pull up in the middle
With a little bit of rage and a gas
Full of vengeance
Gotta put a cap
On my anger, keep cool
Gotta handle this whole situation
How the hell did i end up here?
Third eye blind now
Third eye clear
Varlaam varlaam vaa

Nesathukke endrum ivan adhipadhida
Varlaam varlaam vaa
Varlaam varlaam vaa
My thirst for payback
Is about to be quenched
Follow free like water
Like bruce lee’s revenge
Wolf in sheep clothing
See the fake posing
Make em all disapper like 1000’s (Dialogue)
{Varlaam varlaam vaa
Varlaam varlaam vaa
Varlaam varlaam vaa
Varlaam varlaam vaa} (2)
Who is he? Who is this guy?
Ask around the town, you will know.
Come forward and look,
Stand before him and you will understand.
Step right up, come on,
Step right up and come, Bairavaa, hey hey hey!
Step right up, come on,
Step right up and come, Bairavaa!
Let any rock that clashes turn into dust,
Let everyone live together in harmony,
He is a raging bull, let him gore them down with his horns,
Let all the love overflowing hold its head up high!
Step right up, come on,
Step right up, come on,
Step right up, come on,
Step right up and come, Bairavaa!
Pull up in the middle,
With a little bit of rage and a case,
Full of vengeance,
Gotta put a cap,
On my anger, keep cool,
Gotta handle this whole situation!
How the hell did I end up here?
Third eye blind now,
Third eye clear!
Step right up, come on,
Step right up and come, Bairavaa, hey hey hey!
Step right up, come on,
Step right up and come, Bairavaa!
He is the commander born of pure affection!
He is the eternal master of true care!
Hey, he is the commander born of pure affection!
He is the eternal master of true care!
Step right up, come on,
Step right up, come on,
My thirst for payback,
Is about to be quenched,
Flow free like water,
Like Bruce Lee's revenge,
Wolf in sheep's clothing,
See the fake posing,
Make them all disappear like thousands!
Step right up, come on,
Step right up, come on,
Step right up, come on,
Step right up, come on!
