Naane Varuvean’s Rendu Raaja Tamil Lyrics English Translation

Dhanush compares venom in snakes and flowers to argue society judges unfairly. He inverts expectations by noting more brutality exists in humans than humanity in beasts. One lyric questions how light needs darkness for recognition.

Ore Oru OorukkulleIn a single village,
Rendu Raja Irundharamthere lived two kings.
Oru Raja NallavaramOne king was a good man,
Innoru Raja Kettavaramthe other king was a bad man.
Iravu Irulai Illai EndralIf the night wasn’t dark,
Nilavin Velicham Theriyadhuthe moonlight wouldn’t be seen.
Arakkan Oruvan Illai EndralIf a demon didn’t exist,
Iraivan Maghimai Puriyadhuthe glory of God wouldn’t be understood.
Ore Oru OorukkulleIn a single village,
Rendu Raja Irundharamthere lived two kings.
Oru Raja NallavaramOne king was a good man,
Innoru Raja Kettavaramthe other king was a bad man.
Pambukullum Visham UnduThere’s venom inside the snake,
Poovukkullum Visham Unduand there’s venom inside the flower too.
Poovai Thalaiyil SoodiduvarThey’ll adorn their hair with the flower,
Pambai Parthadhum Adithiduvarbut they’ll strike the snake the moment they see it.
Manidhathil Mirugam AdhigamadaThe beast is abundant in humanity,
Mirugathil Manidham Adhigamadaand humanity is abundant in the beast.
Mirugaththai Uyirai ParkindrenI see a soul in the beast,
Manidhanin Uyirai Edukindrenso I take the life of man.
Iravu Irulai Illai EndralIf the night wasn’t dark,
Nilavin Velicham Theriyadhuthe moonlight wouldn’t be seen.
Arakkan Oruvan Illai EndralIf a demon didn’t exist,
Iraivan Maghimai Puriyadhuthe glory of God wouldn’t be understood.
Ore Oru OorukkulleIn a single village,
Rendu Raja Irundharamthere lived two kings.
Oru Raja NallavaramOne king was a good man,
