போனா போட்டும் போனா போட்டும்
வாடா நீ ராஜா
தானா நீயோ தேடி போயி
பண்ணாத தாஜா
Let what is gone be gone, let it go.
Come on, my king!
Do not go searching on your own...
...and plead or flatter anyone.
போனா போட்டும் போனா போட்டும்
வாடா நீ ராஜா
தானா நீயோ தேடி போயி
பண்ணாத தாஜா
Let what is gone be gone, let it go.
Come on, my king!
Do not go searching on your own...
...and plead or flatter anyone.
இருக்குடா வாழ்க்கை
நம்ம கண்ணு முன்னாடி
எதுக்குடா கலங்குற
முகம் காட்டும் கண்ணாடி
உன்னவிட சிகரம்
இங்க உயரம் இல்லடா.......
சிறக நீயும் விரிச்சிபுட்டா
அதுதான் எல்லைடா......
Life is right here,
Right in front of our eyes...
Why are you feeling troubled,
Oh mirror that reflects the face...
There is no peak higher,
Than you in this place, my friend...
Once you spread your wings,
That sky itself becomes your limit, my friend...
{கம் பேக் கம் பேக்
கம் பேக் மாமு
கம் பேக் கம் பேக்
கம் பேக் மாமு.....} (2)
Come back, come back,
Come back, my friend...
Come back, come back,
Come back, my friend...
நீருக்குள் நீந்திடும்
நெருப்பென வந்திடு
பேருக்கு வாழ்வது
வாழ்க்கை இல்லைடா
Come back, come back,
Come back, my friend...
Come back, come back,
Come back, my friend...
போனதை காலத்தின்
கணக்கென்ன கொள்ளடா
வானத்தை வெட்டி நீயும்
வண்ணம் தீட்டடா
Like a flame swimming,
Through water, emerge brightly!
Just living for namesake,
Is not a real life, my friend.
அட நொண்டி சாக்கு நீ சொல்லி
தாண்டி போக நீ என்னாத
வண்டி இல்லா சக்கரமா
வாழ்க்கை வேணாண்டா.....
Whatever has passed,
Consider it as time's accounting...
Carve open the sky,
And paint it with colors...
{கம் பேக் கம் பேக்
கம் பேக் மாமு
கம் பேக் கம் பேக்
கம் பேக் மாமு.....} (2)
Hey, making lame excuses,
Why are you trying to walk away?
Like a wheel detached from a vehicle,
Don't give up on life, my friend...
Ponaa pottum ponaa pottum
Let what is gone be gone, let it go.
Vadaa nee rajaa
Come on, my king!
Thanaa neeyo thaedi poi
Do not go searching on your own...
Pannaadha thaaja
...and plead or flatter anyone.
Ponaa pottum ponaa pottum
Let what is gone be gone, let it go.
Vadaa nee rajaa
Come on, my king!
Thanaa neeyo thaedi poi
Do not go searching on your own...
Pannaadha thaaja
...and plead or flatter anyone.
Irukudaa vaazhkkai
Life is right here,
Namma kannu munnaadi…
Right in front of our eyes...
Edhukuda kalangura
Why are you feeling troubled,
Mugam kaattum kannaadi…
Oh mirror that reflects the face...
Unna vida sigaram
There is no peak higher,
Inga uyaram illadaa…
Than you in this place, my friend...
Siraga neeyum virichi putta
Once you spread your wings,
Adhudhaan ellaidaa…
That sky itself becomes your limit, my friend...
{Come back come back
Come back, come back,
Come back maamu…
Come back, my friend...
Come back come back
Come back, come back,
Come back maamu…} (2)
Come back, my friend...
Neerukkul neendhidum
Come back, come back,
Neruppena vandhidu
Come back, my friend...
Perukku vaazhvathu
Come back, come back,
Vaazhkkai illadaa
Come back, my friend...
Ponadhai kaalathin
Like a flame swimming,
Kanakkena kollada…
Through water, emerge brightly!
Vaanaththai vetti neeyum
Just living for namesake,
Vannam theettada…
Is not a real life, my friend.
Ada nondi saakku nee solli
Whatever has passed,
Thaandi poga nee ennadhaa
Consider it as time's accounting...
Vandi illaa sakkaramaa
Carve open the sky,
Vaazhkkai venaanda…
And paint it with colors...
{Come back come back
Hey, making lame excuses,
Come back maamu…
Why are you trying to walk away?
Come back come back
Like a wheel detached from a vehicle,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic youth-oriented song serves as a motivational pep talk to someone recovering from setbacks, heartbreak, or disappointment. It urges the listener to leave the past behind, stop begging for external validation or love, and realize their own worth. The lyrics emphasize that true living isn't merely surviving, but rising up like fire even in adversity and reaching for the sky without making lame excuses.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Monai (Initial Alliteration)
“Ponaa pottum ponaa pottum”
Repetition of the initial 'P' sound creates a rhythmic beat across the line.
Edhugai (Second Letter Rhyming)
“Neerukkul neendhidum / Perukku vaazhvathu”
The second consonant 'ru' sound rhymes across both lines.
Simile / Imagery
“Neerukkul neendhidum neruppena vandhidu”
Uses the paradoxical imagery of fire burning inside water ('Neerukkul neendhidum neruppena') to symbolize passion amidst adversity.
Metaphor
“Vandi illaa sakkaramaa vaazhkkai venaanda…”
Compares an aimless, rejected life to a wheel separated from its vehicle.
