ஹே
Heyy...
பூமி என்ன
சுத்துதே ஊமை
நெஞ்சு கத்துதே
என் முன்னாடி
சுக்கிரன் கைய
கட்டி நிக்குதே
Why is the earth spinning around me?
My mute heart is screaming out loud.
Good fortune (Venus) stands in front of me
With folded hands.
டேமேஜ் ஆன
பீசு நானே ஜோக்கர்
இப்போ ஹீரோ ஆனேன்
காஞ்ச மண்ணு ஈரம் ஆனேன்
சாஞ்ச தூணு நேரா ஆனேன்
Hey, my name has finally gained respect now.
Hey, my path has become straight and clear now.
Hey, even a zero has now turned into a hundred.
Ah, it has turned into a hundred!
{ ஹே என்னோட
பேரு சீரானதே ஹே
என்னோட பாதை நேரானதே
ஹே ஜீரோவும் இப்போ
நூறானதே அட நூறானதே } (2)
ஹே
We can head towards the local market.
We can buy some cotton candy.
We can head towards the beach.
We can ride on the Ferris wheel.
சந்த பக்கம்
போகலாம் பஞ்சு மிட்டாய்
வாங்கலாம் பீச்ச பக்கம்
போகலாம் ரங்க ராட்டினம்
சுத்தலாம்
Life is slowly, slowly becoming okay.
Having found a partner, life is now full of joy.
Even a simple bike ride has become happy now.
My time has arrived... life has become full of pride!
{ வாழ்க்கை
மெல்ல மெல்ல ஓகே
ஆனதே ஜோடி வந்து
இப்போ ஜாலி ஆனதே
பைக்கு ரைய்டு கூட
ஹேப்பி ஆனதே காலம்
வந்ததே கெத்து ஆனதே } (2)
The wind blowing somewhere far away
Now blows right past my window.
The curse I was born with
Is now resolving all on its own.
எங்கேயோ
போகும் காத்து இப்போ
என் ஜன்னல் பக்கம் வீசும்
என் கூட பொறந்த சாபம்
இப்ப தன்னாலயே தீரும்
Why is the earth spinning around me?
My mute heart is screaming out loud.
Good fortune (Venus) stands in front of me
With hands folded... hands folded
Stands with folded hands!
டேமேஜ் ஆன
பீசு நானே ஜோக்கர்
இப்போ ஹீரோ ஆனேன்
காஞ்ச மண்ணு ஈரம் ஆனேன்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses the ecstatic jubilation of a protagonist whose fortune has completely flipped for the better. Having previously struggled with low self-esteem, bad luck, and social awkwardness (feeling like a 'zero'), he now feels like a 'hundred' as love, happiness, and respect enter his life. The lyrics capture simple everyday joys—like buying cotton candy, riding a Ferris wheel, or going on a bike ride with his beloved—to highlight how transformed his world feels. He poetically notes that even planet Venus (representing luck) now stands humbly before him, and his lifelong curse is finally lifting.

Personifying 'Sukiran' (Planet Venus/Symbol of Luck) as standing humbly with folded hands before the protagonist.
Contrast / Hyperbole
“Hey zero vum ippo nooraanadhae”
Contrasting 'Zero' (insignificant) with 'Noor' (a hundred/perfection) to portray extreme transformation in personal status.
