பணம் பணம்
எல்லாம் பணம்
இல்லையின்னா
பொணம் தானே நானே
தந்தானே தா நானே பீச்சு
காத்து பார்சல் என்ன விலை
Money, money
Everything is money
Without it, you are just a corpse...
Thaanae nanae thandhanae tha nanae
What is the price to parcel the beach breeze?...
ஹே சக்கரம்
கட்டி ஓடும் வாழ்க்கைதான்
சாக தேவையில்ல லோடு
மேல லோடுதான் ஏத்த நாம
லாரி இல்ல
Hey, tied to wheels
Life keeps running fast
No companion is needed...
Loading burden upon burden
We are not a lorry...
நேத்த நேத்துல
போடு நாள நாளைக்கு
தேடு இந்த நொடியில்
ஆடு நீ இஷ்டம் போல
பாடு நீ
Leave yesterday in the past
Look for tomorrow when tomorrow comes
Dance in this present moment
Sing as your heart desires
ஹே பாஸ்ட்
புஃட்டு லைஃப்பில்
நாம பழைய சோத்த
மறந்தோமே போட்டோ
எடுக்கும் போது மட்டும்
கொஞ்சம் சிரிச்சு பிரிஞ்சோமே
Hey, in this fast food life of ours
We forgot our traditional rice...
Only while taking a photo
We smiled a little and then separated
கோபாலு
கோபாலு வா நீ
தேவையில்லாம
புடுங்காத ஆணி இந்த
நொடியில் ஆடு நீ இஷ்டம்
போல பாடு நீ
Gopalu, Gopalu, come here
Don't pull out unnecessary nails (don't meddling uselessly)
Dance in this present moment
Sing as your heart desires
...............................
................................
எவன் வாழ்ந்தா
எவன் செத்தா எவனுக்கும்
கவலை இல்ல எதிர் காலம்
கவர் போட்டு வித்துடும் டா
தாய்ப்பால
Who lives, who dies
No one really cares...
The future will put a cover on it
And even sell mother's milk...
20 20 மேட்ச்
போல லைப் ஆச்சி
இந்த நொடியில் ஆடு
நீ இஷ்டம் போல பாடு
நீ
Like a Twenty20 match
Life has become fast-paced
Dance in this present moment
Sing as your heart desires
பணம் பணம்
எல்லாம் பணம்
இல்லையின்னா
பொணம் தானே நானே
தந்தானே தா நானே பீச்சு
காத்து பார்சல் என்ன விலை

Without it, you are just a corpse...
Thaanae nanae thandhanae tha nanae
What is the price to parcel the beach breeze?...
Panam panam
Money, money
Ellaam panam
Everything is money
Illaiyina ponam…
Without it, you are just a corpse...
Thaanae nanae thandhanae tha nanae
Thaanae nanae thandhanae tha nanae
Beachu kaathu parcel enna vela…
What is the price to parcel the beach breeze?...
Hey sakkaram katti
Hey, tied to wheels
Odum vazhikaithan
Life keeps running fast
Saga thevailla…
No companion is needed...
Loadu mela loaduthaan yetha
Loading burden upon burden
Naama lorry illa…
We are not a lorry...
Netha nethula podu
Leave yesterday in the past
Naala naalaikki thedu
Look for tomorrow when tomorrow comes
Indha nodiyil aadu nee
Dance in this present moment
Istampola paadu nee
Sing as your heart desires
Hey fast food-u lifil naama
Hey, in this fast food life of ours
Pazhaiya sotha marandhomae…
We forgot our traditional rice...
Photo edukkum bodhu mattum
Only while taking a photo
Konjam sirichi pirinjomae
We smiled a little and then separated
Gopalu gopalu vaa nee
Gopalu, Gopalu, come here
Thevaillama pudungaatha aani
Don't pull out unnecessary nails (don't meddling uselessly)
Indha nodiyil aadu nee
Dance in this present moment
Istampola paadu nee
Sing as your heart desires
