கனவு காதல் எல்லாம் வொர்த்து மாமே
ஹார்ட்டு சொல்லும் போக்கில் ஓடி பாரு கெத்து மாமே
குதிக்க யோசிக்காத ஜம்ப்பு மாமே
பாரசுட்ட போல கைகொடுக்கும் ஹோப்பு மாமே
Dreams and love are all totally worth it, my friend!
Run in the direction your heart tells you to and show your style, my friend!
Don't hesitate to leap, jump right in, my friend!
Hope will lend a helping hand just like a parachute, my friend!
உன் விரல்கள் எல்லாம் ஓர் அளவில் இல்ல
கை விடுவதில்ல
ஊர் சரிகள் எல்லாம் உன் சரிகள் இல்ல
உன் தவறும் என்ன
All your fingers are not of the same length,
Yet they never let go.
What society considers right is not necessarily right for you,
So what if you make mistakes?
உன் அரியர் எல்லாம் உன் கரியர் இல்ல
வீண் வொரிகள் என்ன
உன் கனவின் எல்லா என் கணிதம் இல்ல
ஹே ஹே ஹே ஹே
Your academic arrears do not define your career,
Why engage in vain worries?
The boundaries of your dreams cannot be calculated by math,
Hey hey hey hey
ஊருக்கும் பேருக்கும் கட்டுப்பட்டு
ஆசை விட்டு
காலையும் மாலையும் கஷ்ட்டபட்ட
நேத்துக்கும் நாளைக்கும் மாற்றமில்ல
பேஷன் இல்ல
டேக் ஒரு டைவர்ஷன் இஷ்டப்படி நீ
Bound by society and status,
Surrendering your desires,
If you struggle day and night,
There will be no difference between yesterday and tomorrow,
Without passion.
Take a diversion as you wish!
ஹே புடிச்சி புடிக்க வில்லை
பொழப்பு கிடைக்க வில்லை
கை பிடிச்சு கால் பிடிச்சு
மேல ஏறி போவதில்ல
கனவு துரத்தி ஓடு
வழிய தடுக்கும் ஆல
பந்தாட போலாம் வா
ஜெயிக்க போலாம் வா
Hey, if you work at something you don't like,
You won't find a meaningful livelihood.
By pleading at someone's hands and feet,
You will not rise to the top.
Chase your dreams and run!
Whoever blocks your path,
Let's kick them like a ball and move on!
Come, let's go win!
நேரம் பார்க்காமலே... ஏ
வேலை செஞ்சால் இங்க.. ஏ
பேரம் பேசாமலே.. ஹே... ஏ
காலம் கை கூடுமே.. ஏ
Without watching the clock...
If you work hard here...
Without bargaining...
Time will favor you in the end!
புடிச்சாக்க வேலை ஏதும்
சலிக்காதே நாளும்
அடிச்சாலும் வலிக்காதைய்யா
If you love the work you do,
It will never tire you any day,
Even if it beats you down, it won't hurt!
புலி வேஷம் போட்டா கூட
ஜெயிக்காதே பூனை
பசி வந்தா புள்ள தின்னும் தானா
Even if it disguises itself as a tiger,
A cat can never win!
When hungry, will a tiger eat grass on its own?
மனக்கு மக்கு சிக்கு மக்கு மானே

Fragrant, silly, intricate dear!
Tra-la-la silly, intricate dear!
Fragrant, silly, intricate dear!

புடிச்ச வேலை மட்டும் செய்யு மாமே
மூச்சு முட்ட முட்ட ஹாப்பிநஸ் ஈசி மாமே
மொறச்சு பார்த்தெல்லாம் போதும் மாமே
வெறுப்ப தள்ளி நீயும் லவ்வ பாரு பீஸ் மாமே
Do only the work that you love, my friend!
Until you are breathless, happiness comes easy, my friend!
Enough of looking angrily at everything, my friend!
Set aside hatred, look at love, and find peace, my friend!
