தீரம் கொண்ட வீரனே
சீரிடும் துப்பாக்கியை தோள் பிடித்து
தூக்கையில் போர்க்களங்கள் சாயுது
O courageous warrior filled with bravery,
Holding the roaring gun upon your shoulder,
As you lift it, the battlefields crumble and bow down.
காணகத்தின் கொடிய இருளில்
ஆந்தை கத்தி அலறும் பொழுது
சாது ஒன்று பொருமை இழந்து
காடு தின்ற கதைகள் நூறு
In the cruel darkness of the dense forest,
When the owl screeches and cries out,
A gentle soul loses its patience,
Leaving behind a hundred stories swallowed by the forest.
வாடா பத்து தலை கொண்டு வாடா
யுத்தம் அறிந்து கொண்ட வீரா
பகைகள் தீர்ப்போமே
தீரம் உனக்குள் உறங்கிடம் தீயும்
அதர்மம் தலைக்குற நேரம்
அடக்க நினைக்காதே
வெற்றி வீரனே..............
Come on, bring the ten-headed demon's head!
O warrior who has mastered the art of war,
Let us finish off our enemies!
Bravery and the fire sleeping within you,
When injustice rears its ugly head,
Do not attempt to suppress it!
O victorious warrior!
அசுரன் என்பார்கள் அரக்கன் என்பார்கள்
அனைத்தும் என்னுடன் கலந்தே நடப்பேன்
அதர்மம் இல்லாத உலகம் உருவாக
எதற்கும் அஞ்சாமல் மாறுவேன்
They will call you an Asura, they will call you a monster,
I will walk with all of these traits intertwined within me.
To create a world devoid of injustice,
I will transform without fearing anything.
அசுரன் என்பார்கள் அரக்கன் என்பார்கள்

I will walk with all of these traits intertwined within me.
To create a world devoid of injustice,
I will transform without fearing anything.
போராடி வீழ்ந்தால் விதையாக
வேரோடி நின்றால் மரமாக
வாழ்ந்தால் உன் வாழ்க்கை அறமாக
இறையே உடன் நிற்கும் துணையாக
If you fall fighting, you become a seed,
If you stand deeply rooted, you become a tree,
If you live your life based on righteousness,
God Himself will stand beside you as a companion.
பணம் இன்று பத்தும் செய்யும்
பணியாதவனைத் தப்பும் சொலும்
எலியோனை வலியோன் தீண்டும் கதறல்
ஒருநாள் யுத்தம் ஆகும்
Today money can accomplish anything,
It will even cast blame on the one who does not bow down.
The agony caused when the powerful oppress the weak,
Will turn into a war one day.
நீதிகள் கெட்டு
வரலாற்றில் ஆயுதம் பேசிய கதை உண்டு
அழகான கொஞ்சும் கடல் கூட
கோபத்தில் சீரிய நிலை உண்டு
Seeking justice in history,
There are stories where weapons spoke.
Even the beautiful, caressing sea,
Has a state of roaring in rage.
தர்மம் தலை தூக்கும் பொழுதன்று
தீமை பொடியாகும் புதையுண்டு
நாளும் பல்லாயிரம் வழி கண்டு
வாழ்ந்தால் வரலாற்றில் இடம் உண்டு
On the day righteousness raises its head,
Evil will be pulverized into dust.
Enduring thousands of pains every day,
If you live, you will find a place in history.
அசுரன் என்பார்கள் அரக்கன் என்பார்கள்
அனைத்தும் என்னுடன் கலந்தே நடப்பேன்
அதர்மம் இல்லாத உலகம் உருவாக
எதற்கும் அஞ்சாமல் மாறுவேன்
They will call you an Asura, they will call you a monster,
I will walk with all of these traits intertwined within me.
To create a world devoid of injustice,
I will transform without fearing anything.
டுட் டுட் டூ டூ டூ என
துப்பாக்கிகள் சந்தக்கவி பாட
பூனை புலியாகி வெறியாகி
ரத்தத்தில் உப்புசுவை தேட
Sounding like 'Dut dut doo doo doo',
As the guns sing rhythmic poetry,
The cat becomes a tiger, consumed by frenzy,
Seeking the salty taste of blood.
வாடா பத்து தலை கொண்டு வாடா
யுத்தம் அறிந்து கொண்ட வீரா
பகைகள் தீர்ப்போமே
வெற்றி வீரனே............
Come on, bring the ten-headed demon's head!
O warrior who has mastered the art of war,
Let us finish off our enemies!
O victorious warrior...
அசுரன் என்பார்கள் யே ஹே யே ஹே
அரக்கன் என்பார்கள் யே ஹே யே ஹே
கருப்பன் என்பார்கள்
அது எங்கள் பெருமை டா
அடங்கு என்பார்கள்
என் நிலத்துலயே இல்லடா
விலங்குகள் உடைத்து தடைகளை தகர்த்து
வென்று வா வெற்றி வீரனே............
They will call you an Asura, ye hey ye hey,
They will call you a monster, ye hey ye hey,
They will call you a dark-complexioned demon,

Despite being branded as a villain, monster (Asura), or demon by society, the protagonist embraces these labels as a badge of honor to fight back against corruption, tyranny, and wealthy oppressors.
