Madhan Karky | Yuvan Shankar Raja • From “Laththi”
Veerathukkor Niramundu Lyrics Translation – Laththi Soundtrack
Madhan Karky contrasts violent weapons with justice tools: ‘One who takes the sword dies by it / One who holds the baton protects the truth’. Yuvan Shankar Raja underscores khaki’s unchanging nature through repeating brass phrases.
Veerathukkor NiramunduCourage has a color.
Undendral Adhu KakiIf it does, then it’s khaki.
Aadaikkendroru Balam UndaDoes a uniform have a power of its own?
Azhiyadhe Adhu ThakkiIt’s an indestructible force, that khaki.
Anjuvan Anji Oduvanan EndrumThat he’s a coward who’d run and hide,
Konjamum Veeram Kondilan EndrumThat he doesn’t have a bit of courage,
Kenjiye Kalil Veezhbavan EndrumThat he’d fall at your feet and beg for mercy,
Vanjagan Neeyum EnninaiYou thought all of this, you deceiver.
Parada Ivan KanninaiNow look into his eyes.
Karannam Yedhum IllamalWithout any specific reason,
Oru Nayagan ThondruvathillaiA hero doesn’t just appear.
Kakki Avanai AnigaiyileBut when he wears the khaki,
Pira Karanam Theivaiyum IllaiNo other reason is needed.
Kaththiyai EduththavanThe one who takes up a sword,
Kaththiyil SavanWill die by the sword.
Laththiyi PidiththavanThe one who holds the baton,
Saththiyam KappanWill protect the truth.
Vedi Vedi VediyenaLike a blast, blast, blast,
Vedippathu EdhuWhat is it that’s exploding?
Edhir Edthir EdhiriyinIt’s the enemy’s, the enemy’s,
Irudhayam AdhuIt’s their very heart.
Mudi Mudi MudiyenaLike it’s over, over, over,
Udhirvadhu EdhuWhat is it that’s crumbling away?
Padharidum EdhiriyinIt’s the faltering enemy’s,
Dhairiyam AdhuIt’s their own courage.
Bhayamenum KedaiyamThat shield we call fear,
Udainthidum NodiyinilThe moment that it shatters,
Ethuvume AyudhamAnything becomes a weapon,
Viralgalin PidiyinilWhen it’s held in these fingers.
Irul Adhu SiriththidumThe darkness may laugh,
Oli Adhan IrappinilAt the death of the light.
Theeppori TheriththidumBut a single spark will fly,
Imaigalin ThirappinilThe moment these eyes open.
Oruvanin Sinam AdhuThis man’s fury,
Oruvanin Sinam AllaIsn’t just one man’s fury.
Poruppadhum MarappadhumTolerating and forgetting,
Kakkiyin GunamallaThat isn’t the khaki’s nature.
Olivathum OzhivathumHiding and escaping,
Ethiriyin UrimaiThat’s the enemy’s right.
Vaippinai TharuvathuGiving them that chance,
Kakkiyin KadamaiIs the khaki’s duty.
