Marco Movie’s First Blood Lyrics English (Translation)
Chora Karayuda Chayam Puralana,
The colour of the blood-red sunrise spreads across the horizon.
Theera Pakkyude Nenjane,
The heart of the setting sun is in the shore’s embrace.
Kodi Kanalukal Onnayi Pugayana,
Millions of flames arise as one, burning bright.
Kathum Kaliyude Kannane,
This is the flame of youth’s ever-blazing eye…
Ee Yudhabhoovil Ottayante Jadhayith,
This is the tale of a lone warrior in the battlefield,
Kombu Korkuvan Bhayanna Palarithh,
Those who fear the clash stand apart from many others.
Vettayadum Ethirikalk Porilu
Hunting down foes in the warzone,
Marana Siksha Ezhuthi Vacha Kayith,
These hands have written the sentence of death.
Aanayi Pirannone Daivam Pathi Sathane
Born as a man, God and Satan both within me.
Pare Vira Yukunne Nine Kandale,
I tremble in fear whenever I see you.
Nadee Nadu Kodum Kadu,
The land is a fierce wilderness.
Pambum Nariyum Pala Nooru,
where countless serpents and beasts roam.
Venam Ivide Nayadan,
Here, to fight, we need a leader.
Raksha Kkiniyoral
We need someone to protect and guide us.
Lakshyam Neethi Prathikaram,
The goal is justice and revenge.
Margam Shathru Samharam,
The path is through the destruction of the enemy.
Swantham Bandham Athinennum Pranan Vila Tharum,
Even our own bonds may break because we will eventually pay the price of life.
Adangatha Van Kadalu Polee,
Like an immense, boundless sea
Akalanga Lethumini Thandum,
His rage burns relentlessly.
Murivettavante Prathikaram,
The vengeance of the wounded
Avasana Shwasam Vare Neelum,
will last until his final breath.
Aanayi Pirannone Daivam Pathi Sathane
Born as a man, God and Satan both within me.
Pare Vira Yukunne Nine Kandale,
I tremble in fear whenever I see you.
