Akkrinai Naan
Arivu | D. Imman • From “Captain”
Akkrinai Naan Lyrics Translation – Captain Soundtrack
Arivu claims invincibility through nature metaphors: ‘I’ll rise again from a single strand of hair’ rejects physical limits. Another line, ‘I’m the one who painted nature,’ asserts creative control beyond human understanding.
Akkrinai NaanI am the unclassified.
Ulaginai Maatrida KathiramaiLike a ray of light meant to change the world,
Puthu Varpena Valven NaanI’ll live on as a new beginning.
Thadaiyinai MaatridaTo shatter every obstacle,
Manthiram Aatrilai Aatridawith a mantra that can change the river’s flow,
Selven NaanI will go on.
Uyirinai Aayiram AayiramMy life can be taken a thousand, thousand times,
Mayiraiyagida Meelven Naanbut I’ll rise again from a single strand of hair.
Erigira KatrilIn the scorching wind,
Pookkira Poochediyay Puvi Velven NaanI’m a flowering plant that will conquer the world.
Thakka Thakka ThakkaWith a primal, driving beat,
Thangidum Bhoomi Thaye NaanI’m the enduring Mother Earth.

Paainthidum Mannin Verai NaanI’m the root that surges through the soil.
