Blackmail’s Kaalam Oodum Lyrics Translation
Lyricist Sam Cs pictures individuals as ‘bommaigal,’ or puppets, manipulated by a hidden demon. He shows time drawing a horrifying pattern, a ‘goram kolam,’ that remains invisible. This view of life as a controlled dance removes all personal agency.
Kalam Oodum PodumAs time flows on,
Oru Kolam Kolamit creates a pattern.
Vazhka Adum AdumLife will dance and dance,
Thayam Pora Thayamlike a game of dice.
Kalam Oodum PodumAs time flows on,
Oru Kolam Kolamit creates a pattern.
Yarum Parthidadha GoramA horror no one has ever seen,
Gorama horror.
Kalam Oodum PodumAs time flows on,
Oru Kolam Kolamit creates a pattern.
Yarum Parthidadha GoramA horror no one has ever seen,
Goram Gorama horror, a horror.
Noolil Than Adum Bommaigal EllamAll the puppets that dance on a thread,
Adum Attangal Adhil Adumwill perform the dances they’re made to do.
Thedi Thedi Pogum Noolattum ArakkanaiThe puppeteer demon searches and searches,
Thedum Varia Adum Attamand the dance continues until he finds his prey.
Attam MudiveThat dance is the end.
Por Nilathil InguHere on this battlefield,
Ratham Thedi Ratham Thedisearching for blood, searching for blood,
Nadagam Nadakkudhais a drama unfolding?
Yar Arakkan EndruTrying to find who the real demon is,
Thedi Thedi Odi Odisearching and running,
Neramum Kadakkudhais time just passing by?
SoozhnilaigalukkulleCaught within these circumstances,
Sikki Sikki Manammy mind gets trapped again and again,
Nondhu Nondhu Pogudhaand it hurts more and more, doesn’t it?
Yarai Ingu Nallavannu NambaWho here can we trust to be good?
Kalam ThadukkudhaDoes time itself stop us,
Soozhal Marukkudhaor do our circumstances refuse it?
Pogadha IrulukkulInside an inescapable darkness,
Puliondru KandenI saw a tiger.
Ariyadha KelvikkuFor a question I didn’t even know,
Vidai Thedi SendrenI went searching for an answer.
Pudhidhana PuyalukkulInside a brand new storm,
Puluvaga NindrenI stood there like a worm.
Veezhvena VeezhvenaWill I fall, will I fall?
Kalam Oodum PodumAs time flows on,
Oru Kolam Kolamit creates a pattern.
Yarum Parthidadha GoramA horror no one has ever seen,
The song ultimately leaves its central question of who the real villain is unanswered. It confronts a final image of a tiger in inescapable darkness. Our “Kaalam Oodum” lyrics in English detail a world defined by powerlessness and unseen horror.
