தலை கீழாய்
விழுகும் அருவி துள்ளி
கொண்டு எழுந்து ஓடும்
பாறை மேல் மோதும்
போதும் பாடி கொண்டு
குழுங்கி ஆடும்
The waterfall falling upside down
Leaps up and runs along
When it crashes onto the rock
It sings and dances with joy
நானும் அந்த
அருவி போலே ஆடி
பாடுவேன் இங்கு எந்த
பாறை வந்த போதும்
துணிந்து மோதுவேன்
I too am like that waterfall
I will dance and sing
Whatever rock comes in my way here
I will courageously collide against it
இதழின் ஓரம்
நனையும் என் சிரிப்பில்
உலகம் கவிழும்
Moistening the corner of my lips
In my smile, the world will turn upside down
அழுகின்ற இரவை
கூட நான் சிரிக்க
வைத்திடுவேன் துயில்
கின்ற சூரியனின் கை
பிடித்து எழுந்திடுவேன்
Even a crying night
I will make it smile
Holding the hand of the sleeping sun
I will wake him up
கர்வம் கொஞ்சம்
உள்ளது இளமை என்னை

Like the age of sixteen
Which other age gives such intoxication?
Holding hands with dreams
While living by consuming the breeze
