Vilaiyaada vaa
To add sweetness to the night
To clear away hate and boredom
Money or a corpse?
Come, let's play
I will open the door
And hand you the dice
Roll the dice
Will you guess your fate?
If you play and win
I will give you the money
As you lose and run away
I will finish you off
A day with closed eyes
I am the color of blood
...
I will be there
Will you come with me?
When you stand helpless in the dark
As your heart thumps loud and fast
While I curse your favorite god
And tap you on your shoulder
This is a secret between us
If you think of breaking it
I will bite and eat you up
Saving the cost of burying or burning
To add sweetness to the night
To clear away hate and boredom
Money or a corpse?
Come, let's play
