Naan Varuven Lyrics Translation – Kodiyil Oruvan Soundtrack
Arun Bharathi situates defiance in physical terms: ‘Even if buried in earth, I rise again.’ Haricharan voices a refusal to compromise, rejecting bribes and caste divisions. The vow ‘I’ll return’ frames justice as cyclical rather than finite.
