குழந்தைகள் :
.........................
You were born without being aborted in your mother's womb...
Right at that moment, O man, you won!
You were born without being aborted in your mother's womb...
Right at that moment, O man, you won!...
அன்னையின் கருவில் கலையாமல் பிறந்தாயே.....
அப்போதே மனிதா நீ ஜெயித்தாயே
அன்னையின் கருவில் கலையாமல் பிறந்தாயே.....
அப்போதே மனிதா நீ ஜெயித்தாயே
Endure the hardships, victory awaits.
Life here is full of ups and downs.
Dream big, slaying sleep.
Believe today that it will surely happen...
கஷ்டங்களை தாங்கு வெற்றி உண்டு
மேடும் பள்ளம் தானே வாழ்க்கை இங்கு
கனவுகள் காணு தூக்கம் கொன்று
நடந்திடும் என்று நம்பி இன்று......
The banyan tree sleeping inside the seed
Is not visible to the naked eyes.
The time will come when it grows into a tree,
It won't remain sleeping inside the mud.
குழந்தைகள் :
முயற்சி திருவினை ஆக்கும் முயற்றின்மை
இன்மை புகுத்தி விடும்
இடுக்கண் வருங்கால் நகுக அதனை
அடுத்தூர்வ அஃதொப்ப தில்
The peak you seek is not far away,
Do not stop walking.
A small drop turns into an ocean here,
Do not lose your hope.
குழந்தைகள் :
வெள்ளத் தனைய மலர்நீட்டம் மாந்தர்தம்
உள்ளத் தனையது உயர்வு
தெய்வத்தால் ஆகாதெனினும் முயற்சி தன்மெய்
வருத்தக் கூலி தரும்
If feet step on it again and again,
Even a hard rock turns into a pathway.
Once you step forward,
Do not take your step back...
விதைக்குள் தூங்கும் ஆலமரம்
கண்ணுக்குத் தெரியாது
அது மரமாய் மாறும் காலம் வரும்
அது மண்ணுக்குள் உறங்காது
Roots are required for flowers to bloom,
Sweat is required here for success.
Even if your fingerprints wear out,
Never stop working hard.
நீ தேடும் சிகரம் தூரம் இல்லை
நடப்பதை நிறுத்தாதே
சிறு துளிதான் இங்கே கடலாகும்
நம்பிக்கை தொலைக்காதே
You were born without being aborted in your mother's womb...
Right at that moment, O man, you won!
You were born without being aborted in your mother's womb...
Right at that moment, O man, you won!...
மீண்டும் மீண்டும் பாதம் பட்டால்
பாறை கூட பாதை ஆகும்
முன்னால் வைத்த காலை நீயும்
பின்னால் எடுக்காதே.....
What you are capable of achieving,
Even you do not know.
If you understand your true potential,
What obstacle can stop you from achieving?
பூக்கள் பூக்க வேர்கள் தேவை
வெற்றிக்கிங்கே வேண்டும் வேர்வை
உன் கை ரேகை தேய்ந்தாலும்
உழைப்பதை நிறுத்தாதே
Failing after making genuine efforts
Is not considered a real defeat.
Without falling down first, no one here
Has ever risen up.
அன்னையின் கருவில் கலையாமல் பிறந்தாயே.....
அப்போதே மனிதா நீ ஜெயித்தாயே....
அன்னையின் கருவில் கலையாமல் பிறந்தாயே.....
அப்போதே மனிதா நீ ஜெயித்தாயே....
Even the word 'no' or 'impossible',
Throw it away as non-existent.
Tomorrow it will lift you higher,
So do not lose your courage.
உன்னால் என்ன முடியும் என்று
உனக்கே தெரியாது
உன் சக்தியை நீயும் புரிந்து கொண்டால்
சாதிக்க தடை ஏது
Even if you fall, turn into a ball,
Bounce up higher with speed.
Overtake others and run forward,
Never stop trying...
முயற்சிகள் செய்து தோற்பதெல்லாம்
தோல்விகள் கிடையாது
விழுந்து விடாமல் யாரும் இங்கே
எழுந்தது கிடையாது
You were born without being aborted in your mother's womb...
Right at that moment, O man, you won!
You were born without being aborted in your mother's womb...
Right at that moment, O man, you won!...
இல்லை என்ற சொல்லை கூட
இல்லை என்று தூக்கிப் போடு
நாளை உன்னை மேலே ஏற்றும்
துணிச்சலை இழக்காதே
Endure the hardships, victory awaits.
Life here is full of ups and downs.
Dream big, slaying sleep.
Believe today that it will surely happen...
வீழ்ந்தால் கூட பந்தாய் மாறு
வேகம் கொண்டு மேலே ஏறு
முந்திக் கொண்டு முன்னால் ஓடு
முயற்சியை நிறுத்தாதே........
அன்னையின் கருவில் கலையாமல் பிறந்தாயே.....
அப்போதே மனிதா நீ ஜெயித்தாயே....
அன்னையின் கருவில் கலையாமல் பிறந்தாயே.....
அப்போதே மனிதா நீ ஜெயித்தாயே....
கஷ்டங்களை தாங்கு வெற்றி உண்டு
மேடும் பள்ளம் தானே வாழ்க்கை இங்கு
கனவுகள் காணு தூக்கம் கொன்று
நடந்திடும் என்று நம்பி இன்று......
