Vettaiyadum Karuppusaami Lyrics Translation (from “Seeran”)
Snehan uses ‘Kaalana Maari Vaaranae’ to depict Karuppasamy as an unstoppable force. ‘Naame Ellarume Karuppan Pulla’ rejects social divisions under the deity’s protection.
Vettaiyadum Karuppasamy ThanIt’s the hunting Karuppasamy himself.
Vengaiya Odi VaaranaeHe comes rushing in like a fierce cheetah.
Pagai Aruthu Pazhli TheerkathanTo sever enmity and exact his revenge.
Kaalana Maari VaaranaeHe arrives transformed as the God of Death.
Vettu Satham PottuMake the loud sound of the strike.
Paattu Satham KoottuTurn up the volume of the song.
Oora Kaakum Karuppen VaaranaeKaruppan, the protector of the town, is coming.
Aadhi Tamizh ParaiyaOh, ancient Tamil ‘Parai’ drum.
Adida Ratham UraiyaBeat it until the blood freezes in our veins.
Raththam Sooru Pole VaaranaeHe arrives like a fierce blood offering.
Vettaiyadum Karuppasamy ThanIt’s the hunting Karuppasamy himself.
Vengaiya Odi VaaranaeHe comes rushing in like a fierce cheetah.
Pagai Aruthu Pazhli TheerkathanTo sever enmity and exact his revenge.
