ஹ ஹ என் பேர் சொல்லும்
Oh, relationships
That existed for me, ah
Dreams halfway
Were shattered, yes
The seed called blame
Fell into the heart
Ha.. like a crop every day
It grew
ஒ உறவுகள் எனக்கென இருந்தது
ஆ கனவுகள் பாதியில் கலைந்தது ஆம்
பழியெனும் விதை நெஞ்சில் விழுந்தது
ஹ பயிரென தினம் அது வளர்ந்தது
யுத்தத்தால் அதோ அதோ விடியுது
Through war, look, a new dawn arises
Through roaring power, anarchy is destroyed
Through blood, look, heads roll
Heaven is visible right here
Shoulders tremble with martial eager
Victory is a certainty
சத்தத்தால் அராஜகம் அழியுது
ரத்தத்தால் அதோ தலை உருளுது
சொர்க்கங்கள் இதோ இதோ தெரியுது

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This title track from the 1986 spy-action thriller film 'Vikram' serves as an intense hero-introduction anthem. The protagonist declares his invincible nature, personal betrayals, and unrelenting drive to destroy evil and establish justice. He rejects passive tolerance, comparing passive endurance to worms while equating decisive action to a tiger hunting its prey.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Hyperbole (Uyarvu Navitchi Ani)
“Imaiyam thottu vittavan / Theeyai suttu vittavan”
Exaggeration used for heroic emphasis, such as claiming to touch the Himalayas or burning fire itself.
Metaphor (Uruvagama)
“Pazhiyenum vidhai Nenjil vizhundhathu Ha..payirena dhinam Athu valarndhathu”
Comparing blame to a seed planted in the heart that grows daily into a crop.
Ethugai (Second-letter Rhyme)
“Yuththathaal adho adho vidiyuthu / Saththathaal araajagam azhiyuthu / Raththathaal adho thalai uruluthu”
Matching of the second consonant in consecutive lines (Yuththathaal, Saththathaal, Raththathaal).

Trivia
This high-octane title track was composed by Maestro Ilaiyaraaja and performed by Kamal Haasan himself. The song's iconic rhythm and 'Vikram Vikram' vocal stabs were sampled and remixed in Lokesh Kanagaraj's 2022 film 'Vikram' as an homage to the original 1986 cult classic.
