Vaadagaikku veedu ketta morappaan
Ponnu kettu poyi ninna udhapaan
Velai aththa velaiyinnu siripaan
Advice nooru alli vittu kalaaipaan

Vellithirai saami thaanga
Vetri kaettu jebippom
Jeyichi vanthavan
Avan rombha konjam thaan
Anaa jeyikka poravan
Inga ekka chakkam thaan
Ah, this is cinema!
Cinema that takes hold of you and runs your life!
Ah, Tamil cinema!
Cinema is a lifelong need, just like breathing.
What we learned in school...
...was only a little bit.
But what we learned from the silver screen...
...is so very much!
What we learned in school...
...was only a little bit.
But what we learned from the silver screen...
...is so very much!
Walking alongside us like a shadow,
smiling like a friend through life's battles,
it is cinema!
It is cinema!
It is cinema!
Ah, this is cinema!
Cinema that takes hold of you and runs your life!
Is cinema a philosophy hidden behind a beard?
Is cinema a smile found in a daily high?
Cinema, which we called our mother and father,
is the cinema that can leave you an orphan!
Thinking a smoke and a tea are enough,
we stay happy.
Thinking our two legs are enough,
we walk looking for a chance.
The clapboard alone
is our whole world.
Only between "Action!" and "Cut!"
does our heart truly beat.
If we ask for a house on rent, they glare at us.
If we ask to marry their daughter, they kick us out.
They laugh, calling it a useless job.
They throw a hundred pieces of advice and mock us.
Only seeds of hope
do we sow in our hearts.
To the god of the silver screen,
we pray for success.
Those who have actually made it
are very few.
But those who are going to win
are countless here!
