Who will give this throne?
Will he be the one to win an equal seat?
Who will give this throne?
Will he be the one to win an equal seat?
If you dare to dream, you can seize it.
If you have the burning hunger, fire can ignite.
[Male & Chorus:]
These eyes will always remain open,
with dreams living deep within the pupils.
Who will give?
Who will give?
Who will give this throne?
Will he be the one to win an equal seat?
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho oo

Who will give this throne?
Will he be the one to win an equal seat?
I learned humility,
and to put an end to all enemies,
courage alone will stand by my side.
Across the entire territory, power will arrive,
and as life moves ahead,
prosperity will follow.
Who will give this throne?
[Rap:] Who will give...
[Male:] Will he be the one to win an equal seat?
[Rap:] An equal seat!
Who will give this throne?
Will he be the one to win an equal seat?
Who will give this throne?
Will he be the one to win an equal seat?
A serpent lies in wait,
hiding and waiting for the right moment.
Listening closely for the sound of footsteps,
with the urge to strike burning within, ho!
Who will give?
Who will give?
Who will give this throne?
Will he be the one to win an equal seat?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Yaar Tharuvaar Indha Ariyasanam from the movie Vattaram is a high-energy, thematic song focused on power, ambition, and survival in a ruthless world. The lyrics question whether respect, stature, and authority (symbolized by the 'ariyasanam' or throne) are ever handed over freely or if one must relentlessly fight and earn them. It highlights that dreams can only be realized through action, resolve, and untamed courage.
