Won't the world be enchanted by dance and song?
Won't the world be enchanted by dance and song?
Let joy be experienced!
Let pleasure multiply a thousand fold!
In youthful hearts,
Let overflowing thoughts and desires be fulfilled!
ஆடல் பாடலில் உலகமே மயங்காதோ
ஆடல் பாடலில் உலகமே மயங்காதோ
ஆனந்தம் காணட்டுமே
இன்பம் இன்பம் ஆயிரம் ஆகட்டுமே
வாலிப உள்ளங்களில்
பொங்கும் எண்ணம் மோகங்கள் தீரட்டுமே
Won't the world be enchanted by dance and song?
Won't the world be enchanted by dance and song?
ஆடல் பாடலில் உலகமே மயங்காதோ
ஆடல் பாடலில் உலகமே மயங்காதோ
I have been waiting just to see you,
To ask for an answer,
To take you into my arms,
I came searching for a way.
I will capture you daily, I will lock you up,
Affectionately inside the prison of love.
Come near me without any fear,
Let whatever happened happen, let whatever is gone be gone,
Let whatever happens happen, truth will triumph.
காத்திருந்தேன் உனைக் காண்பதற்கே
பதில் கேட்பதற்கே
கைகளிலே உனை சேர்ப்பதற்கே
வழி தேடி வந்தேன்
மாட்டி வைத்தேன் தினம் பூட்டி வைத்தேன்
அன்போடு நான் காதல் சிறையில்
அஞ்சாமலே வா என் அருகில்
ஆனது ஆகட்டும் போனது போகட்டும்
நடப்பது நடக்கட்டும் சத்தியமல்லோ
Won't the world be enchanted by dance and song?
Won't the world be enchanted by dance and song?
ஆடல் பாடலில் உலகமே மயங்காதோ
ஆடல் பாடலில் உலகமே மயங்காதோ

A face-to-face competition,
I am directly confronting it.
Yesterday your drama was behind the curtain,
Today it is exposed in the open crossroads.
Even cats will transform into tigers!
நேருக்கு நேர் வந்த போட்டியினை
நான் சந்திக்கிறேன்
நேற்று உன் நாடகம் திரை மறைவில்
இன்று சந்தியிலே
பூனைகளும் புலி ஆகி விடும்
Half of what I meant, I said without speaking,
The remaining half, you did without actually doing!
Half of what I meant, I said without speaking,
The remaining half, you did without actually doing!
Let whatever happened happen, let whatever is gone be gone,
Let whatever happens happen, truth will triumph.
சொல்லாமல் நான் சொன்னது பாதி
செய்யாமல் நீ செய்தது மீதி
சொல்லாமல் நான் சொன்னது பாதி
செய்யாமல் நீ செய்தது மீதி
ஆனது ஆகட்டும் போனது போகட்டும்
நடப்பது நடக்கட்டும் சத்தியமல்லோ
Won't the world be enchanted by dance and song?
Won't the world be enchanted by dance and song?
Let joy be experienced!
Let pleasure multiply a thousand fold!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a vibrant composition that combines a joyous celebration of music and dance with underlying themes of courage, romantic devotion, and moral righteousness. The singer invites the audience into a realm of delight, emphasizing that youthful passions and joy should flourish through song and dance. Simultaneously, the lyricist weaves in narrative elements of confrontation and determination, moving from subtle romantic entrapment in a 'prison of love' to facing real-world challenges directly ('Naerukku naer'). It asserts a philosophical outlook on life—accepting the past, facing the present bravely, and trusting that truth and justice will ultimately prevail ('sathiyam vellum').
