யாமம்.....
கை மீறி போச்சு சாமம்
காத்தும்
வெளியேற பாக்கும்
Midnight hour…
Midnight has slipped beyond control
Even the wind
Tries to escape outside
யாமம்.....
கை மீறி போச்சோ சாமம்
காத்தும்
வெளியேற பாக்கும் வேகம்
Midnight hour…
Has midnight slipped beyond control?
Even the wind
Moves fast trying to escape outside
பூதம்
கூட உள்ள நேரம்....என்
சீறும்
தடுமாறும் எண்ணம்
Demons
Are also inside at this time… why?
Raging
Thoughts stumble
சிக்கிகிட்ட கல் பெட்டிக்குள்
தப்பிக்கவா போற
சாவுக்குதான் பக்கத்துல
வந்துட்டயே நேர
Trapped inside a stone box
Are you really going to escape?
Right next to death itself
You have arrived directly
பெண் சொல்லி நீ
உள் வந்துட்ட
வழி இல்லியே மீள
தீ வட்டாம பேய் கட்டமா
மாட்டிகிட்ட வீழ
Listening to a woman's words
You stepped inside
There is no way to break free
Is it a ring of fire or a demonic spell?
Caught and falling down
வீழ வீழ வீழ வீழ
வீழ வீழ வீழ வீழ
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling
யாமம்.....
கை மீறி போச்சோ சாமம்

ஓலம் கேக்கும்
உயிர் துடி துடிக்க
ஆள தாக்கும்
பயம் வெடி வெடிக்க
Cries of distress are heard
While life quivers in terror
Attacking the person
Fear explodes like a blast
ஓலம் கேக்கும்
உயிர் துடி துடிக்க
ஆள தாக்கும்
பயம் வெடி வெடிக்க
Cries of distress are heard
While life quivers in terror
Attacking the person
Fear explodes like a blast
முன் இரவு கார் சுழியோ
வெண்ணிறமாய் கனவா வருதோ
தீங்குருதி பாக்கையில
ஓ மறதி மீளலையோ
Is early night a dark whirlpool?
Does it come as a white dream?
Upon seeing dark red blood
Oh, does forgetfulness fail to rescue?
தான தான நன நானா
தான தான நன நானா
Thaana thaana nana naanaa
Thaana thaana nana naanaa

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Yaamam' from the thriller film K-13 evokes an eerie atmosphere of entrapment, suspense, and psychological horror. Set during the dead of night (Yaamam), the lyrics depict a protagonist trapped inside a confined space—metaphorically described as a stone box—after following a woman's lead. The feeling of doom deepens as even elements of nature like the wind seem desperate to flee, and dark inner thoughts rage like demons.
Writing craft
Poetic devices

Compares an enclosed, inescapable room or situation to a stone box or coffin.
Repetition (Anaphora)

Repeated use of the word 'Veezha' (falling) emphasizes the continuous descent into horror and helplessness.
