Marco Movie’s First Blood Lyrics English (Translation)
Chora Karayuda Chayam Puralana,
Shadows stained with blood spread across the land,
Theera Pakkyude Nenjane,
weighing heavily on the heart of the one who stands on the shore.
Kodi Kanalukal Onnay Pugayana,
Like countless sparks igniting at once,
Kathum Kaliyude Kannane,
this is the eye of the storm of war.
Chora Karayuda Chayam Puralana,
Shadows stained with blood spread across the land,
Theera Pakkyude Nenjane,
weighing heavily on the heart of the one who stands on the shore.
Kodi Kanalukal Onnayi Pugayana,
Like countless sparks igniting at once,
Kathum Kaliyude Kannane,
this is the eye of the storm of war.
Ee Yudhabhoovil Ottayante Jadhayith,
In this battlefield, a lone warrior rises,
Kombu Korkuvan Bhayanna Palarithh,
while many cower, afraid to challenge him.
Vettayadum Ethirikalk Porilu Marana Siksha,
He delivers the punishment of death to his enemies in the hunt,
Ezhuthi Vacha Kayith,
as if it were written in their fate.
Aanayi Pirannone Daivam Pathi,
Born a beast, half-god, half-demon,
Sathane Pare Vira Yukunne Nine Kandale,
he appears as a fearless warrior with a fiery spirit.
Nadee Nadu Kodum Kadu,
Through every land and dense forest,
Pambum Nariyum Pala Nooru,
snakes, jackals, and countless dangers lie in wait.
Venam Ivide Nayadan Raksha Kkiniyoral,
A protector is needed here.
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,
For his loved ones, he is willing to sacrifice his life.
Adangatha Van Kadalu Polee,
Like an untamed ocean in the wild,
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,
Born a beast, half-god, half-demon,
Sathane Pare Vira Yukunne Nine Kandale,
he appears as a fearless warrior with a fiery spirit.
