Uravugal Endrum Vazhga’s Vazhkkai Endroru Tamil Lyrics English Meaning
Vaali states history shows no one rises through money alone. He notes law’s intent appears red but practice turns black. These lines critique materialism and legal corruption directly.
Vaazhkkai Endroru PaadalLife is like a song,
Adhil Aalukku Aaloru RaagamIn it, everyone’s got their own melody ‘Raagam’.
Selvam Endroru ThaalamWealth is the rhythmic beat ‘Thaalam’,
Aasaithaan Adhan MelamDesire’s the drum ‘Melam’ that plays.
Idhayangal Maayaiyil Aaduthu PaavamIt’s a pity how hearts dance in illusion ‘Maayai’.
Sariththiram Muzhuthum Padiththaal TheriyumYou’ll know if you read through all of history,
Panaththaal Uyarnthavar IllaiThat no one’s ever risen through money alone.

Sattaththin Niramo SivappuThe color of the law is red,
Adhai Saathikkum Niramo KaruppuBut the color that achieves results is black.
