வாழ்க்கையினா வெற்றியும் இருக்கும்
தோல்வியும் இருக்கும்
ஒத்துக்க ஒத்துக்க டா
வாழ்க்கை தந்த கஷ்ட்டத்தில்
எந்த நஷ்ட்டமும் இல்ல
பாடத்த கத்துக்கடா
In life, there will be success,
And there will also be defeat.
Learn to accept both, man!
In the hardships life gives,
There is no actual loss.
Learn a lesson from them, man!
எண்ணம் போல வாழ்க்கை
நல்லதே நெனைங்கடா
யாரையும் ஏமாத்தாம
ஒழுங்கா உழைங்கடா
Life becomes whatever you think it is,
So always think good thoughts, man!
Without deceiving anyone,
Work hard and honestly, man!
ஜாதி மதம் இனமெல்லாம்
நம்மல அடைக்கும் சிறைங்கடா
உலகம் ரொம்ப பெருசு
றெக்க விறிச்சு பறங்கடா
Caste, religion, and race are all
Prisons that confine us, man!
The world is vast and wide,
Spread your wings and fly, man!
பாகுபலிக்கொரு கட்டப்பா
அத போலதான் எங்க சித்தப்பா
போட்டியே பல ஹெட்டப்பா
அட கடைசில எல்லாமே செட்டப்பா
Just as Bahubali had a Kattappa,
My uncle is just like that.
He puts on so many get-ups,
Ah, in the end, it's all a setup!
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
ஏ..
பாகுபலிக்கொரு கட்டப்பா
அத போலதான் எங்க சித்தப்பா
போட்டியே பல ஹெட்டப்பா
அட கடைசில எல்லாமே செட்டப்பா
Falling in love and forgetting your whole life,
You shouldn't do that, brother.
Your parents who gave birth to you with love
Are relying only on you.
Like coal that falls into a stove,
Don't get consumed and burnt out, brother.
Even if you get burnt or hurt inside,
Your friends are there for you, brother!
லவ்வுல விழுந்து லைஃபயே மறக்க
கூடாதுடா தம்பி
பாசத்தோட பெத்தவங்களாம் உன்ன மட்டும் நம்பி
ஸ்டவ்வுல விழுந்த கறிய போல
வேகாதடா தம்பி
நீ வெந்த பின்னாலும் நொந்த பின்னாலும்
ப்ரண்ட்ஸ் இருக்கான் தம்பி
By putting on mask after fake mask,
If you get accustomed to living like that,
Even the fragrance of the blowing wind
Will become fake to you, man.
By showing care and showing affection,
If you get accustomed to living like that,
Even a terrible life
Will come under your control, man.
வேசம் போட்டு வேசம் போட்டு
வாழ பழகிட்டா
வீசும் காத்தின் வாசம் கூட வெசமாகிடும் டா
பாசம் காட்டி நேசம் காட்டி
வாழ பழகிட்டா
மோசமான வாழ்க்கை கூட வசமாகிடும் டா
Life happens only once,
It gives us many unexpected blows.
If we have a good heart
And good friends, it's all fun!
லைஃபு அது ஒன்சுதான்
கொடுக்கும் பல பன்சுதான்
நமக்கு நல்ல மன்சு இருந்தா
ப்ரண்ட்ஸ் இருந்தா பண்ஸ்சு தான்
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :
லைஃபு அது ஒன்சுதான்
கொடுக்கும் பல பன்சுதான்
நமக்கு நல்ல மன்சு இருந்தா
