Dragon’s Iraivaa Tamil Lyrics English Meaning

Ko Sesha writes that demons emerge from human actions, not heaven. The line ‘Idhayaththil dharmam endrum uranguvathillai’ suggests dormant righteousness can reclaim humanity. Raja repeatedly demands divine answers through ‘Naan yaar iraivaa’ during moments of doubt.

Arakkargal Vaanil Irunthu IranguvathillaiDemons don’t descend from the heavens.
Manithan Thaan Theemai Seithu Arakkan AagiraanIt’s man himself who becomes a demon through his own evil.
Idhayaththil Dharmam EndrumThe righteousness of ‘Dharma’ within the heart never,
Uranguvathillai Idhai UnarpavanthaanaeTruly sleeps; only the one who realizes this,
Meendum Manithan AagiraanBecomes a human being once again.
Ingu Edhai Thedi Vanthom IndruWhat’ve we come here looking for today?
Edhu Vaanga Aanom IndruWhat’ve we become to get what we seek?
Ariyaathavan Mirugam AagiraanThe one who doesn’t understand becomes a beast.
Naan Yaar IraivaaWho am I, my Lord?
Vidai Thaa IraivaaGive me the answer, my Lord.
Naan Yaar IraivaaWho am I, my Lord?
Badhil Solla Mannil VaruaayaaWill you come down to this earth to answer me?
Naan Yaar IraivaaWho am I, my Lord?
Vidai Thaa IraivaaGive me the answer, my Lord.
Naan Yaar IraivaaWho am I, my Lord?
Vidaiyaaga Enakkul VaruaayaaWill you come within me as the answer itself?
Ingu Pirar Sinthum KanneerThe person who wants to warm themselves,
Mazhaiyil Kulir Kaaya Vendum EndruIn the rain of tears shed by others,
Ninaikkindravan Arakkan AagiraanTurns into a demon through such cruelty.
Naan Pirar Kanda Kanavai KondruIs it right to stay alive by destroying,
Uyira Vaazhavathu Sariyaa EndruThe dreams that others have seen?
Kelvi Ketppavan Manithan AagiraanThe one who asks this becomes human.
Naan Yaar IraivaaWho am I, my Lord?
Vidai Thaa IraivaaGive me the answer, my Lord.
Naan Yaar IraivaaWho am I, my Lord?
Badhil Solla Mannil VaruaayaaWill you come down to this earth to answer me?
Naan Yaar IraivaaWho am I, my Lord?
Vidai Thaa IraivaaGive me the answer, my Lord.
Naan Yaar IraivaaWho am I, my Lord?
Vidaiyaaga Enakkul VaruaayaaWill you come within me as the answer itself?
