திறக்காத உலகத்தை
திறக்கின்ற காற்றோட்டமே
தொலை தூரம் போனாலும்
முடியாத ஆகாயமே
The unopened world
O breeze that opens it up
Even after traveling far distances
O endless sky
ஓடோடிபோனாலும்
ஓயாதா நீரோடமே
பிறப்பாக சிறப்பாக
நெருப்பாக ஒளிர்கின்ற
தொடுவானமே
உன்னோட உயிரோட
ஒன்றாக சேர்கின்ற
பூலோகமே
Even after running swiftly
O ceaseless stream of water
As a birth, with grandeur
Glowing brightly like a fire
O horizon
With your life
Joining together as one
O planet Earth
காற்றாக வந்தாயே
புயலாக்கி சென்றாயே நீ..
ஆகாயம் முடிந்தாலும்
அத்தியாயம் தொடங்கும் இனி…
அலை தேடும் ஆழங்கள்
போடும் கோலங்கள்
அர்த்தங்கள் புரியும் இனி
You arrived like a breeze
You left after turning into a storm...
Even if the sky comes to an end
A new chapter begins now...
The depths that the wave searches for
The patterns being drawn
The true meanings will be understood now
நம்ம உயிரோட எரிகின்ற
உலகத்தை சுடுகின்ற
காதலியே நீ….
Thirakkatha ulagathai
The unopened world
Thirakkindra kaatrotamae
O breeze that opens it up
Tholai dhooram ponaalum
Even after traveling far distances
Mudiyaadha aagayamae
O endless sky
Oodoodi ponaalum
Even after running swiftly
Ooyaadha neerotamae
O ceaseless stream of water
Pirappaaga sirappaaga
As a birth, with grandeur
Neruppaaga oligindra
Glowing brightly like a fire
Thoduvaanamae
O horizon
Unnoda uyiroda
With your life
Ondraaga serkindra
Joining together as one
Bhoologamae
O planet Earth
Kaatraaga vandhaaye
You arrived like a breeze
Puyalaaki sendraaaiye nee..
You left after turning into a storm...
Aagaayam mudindhaalum
Even if the sky comes to an end
Adhyaayam thodangum ini…
A new chapter begins now...
Alai thedum aazhangal
The depths that the wave searches for
Podum kolangal
The patterns being drawn
Arthangal puriyum ini
The true meanings will be understood now

Iyaibu (Rhyming Endings)
“Pirappaaga sirappaaga / Neruppaaga oligindra”
The repetition of the '-aaga' suffix across consecutive lines creates a rhythmic, musical flow known as Iyaibu in Tamil poetry.
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Thirakkatha ulagathai / Thirakkindra kaatrotamae”
Repetition of the initial sound 'Thi-' in 'Thirakkatha' and 'Thirakkindra' establishes an agreeable phonetic rhythm at the start of the song.
