The One Lyrics English Translation – Retro | Sid Sriram

Oru Theeyila Soll Eduthu
Taking a spark from a single flame,

Oli Podura Kai Ezhuthu
A hand-written script begins to glow,

Annoruvan Vandhirukkaande
That one man has arrived.

Pala Por Padai Irukkalam
There might be many mighty armies,

Edhir Paarthadhu Ivan Thaan
But it was him they were all waiting for,

Andh Oruvan Vandhirukkaande
That one man has come.

Kalamo Avan Moochariya
Time itself breathes with his breath,

Mayil Kaalgalum Koochariya
Even the graceful peacock legs bow down,

Vacham Avan Vandhirukkaande
The destined one has arrived.

Ada Namma Nenachadhu Nadandhirumaa
Hey, could what we imagined truly happen?

Singham Marubadi Thirumbudhamma
The lion has returned once again,

Munna Oru Kadhai Irundhadhamma
There once was a tale in the past,

Ippa Uru Kondu Yerangudhamma
Now it takes form and walks among us.

Nachathiram Onnu Theriyudhamma
A single star becomes visible in the sky,

Ninna Idam Paththi Eriyudhamma
Burning bright right where you once stood,

Acham Konda Manam Oru Varamaa
Is a heart once filled with fear now a blessing?

Andha Oruvanai Adaiyudhamma
That one man, we now reach out to him.

Hey.. Kolanju Pogum Kaadu Kolanju Pogum Kaadu
Hey… the forest shivers and dissolves away,

Naan Varaven Enna Kaathirundhen
I waited, wondering when I would arrive,

Adi Thaan Orunaal Yegane Avanthaan
And then one day, suddenly, it was him who rose,

Vaai Pilandhe Sanam Paarthida
With mouths agape, the crowd watched in awe,

Paarthavan Pol Vidampa Orunaal Ezhundhaan
Like Arjuna reborn, he rose that day with pride.

Kaalam Ellaarin Meedhum Kallagi Moodum
When time itself turns to stone upon everyone,

Appodhu Yaar Ezhuvaar
Who then will rise and stand tall?

Vaale Vaal Veesum Podhum Nirkkaamal Podhum
When swords clash and strike, not pausing for breath,

Nee Dhaane Vaa Oruva
It is you — the one — who must come forth.

Neeyum Dhooram Poga Nenjam Punna Kidandhen
As you went far away, my heart lay wounded,

Unn Paadham Pogum Paadha Vazhi Mannaa Kidandhen
I lay down on the path your feet once walked.

Kaalam Kaalam Thandi Uyir Oora Kedandhen
Crossing ages, I scattered life like dust,

Raasa Raasavandhaan Ulagellaam Adachchen Yele!
The king has returned — and the world stood still, oh yes!

Dhammamum Dharmamum Kaakkira Pithan
The mad one who protects both justice and truth,

Adipattu Adipattu Yeriya Yuddhan
The warrior who rose with every blow he took,

Paedhalicha Ivan Mel Veral Veppen
Point a finger at him, and it shall tremble in fear,

Veeranaam Karnanukke Ivan Appan’eh
For even the great warrior Karna would call him father.

The One!

The One!
