வாழ்க்கை ஒரு வட்டம்
அதில் முதலும் முடிவும் ஒன்றே
இணைந்து நாம் சென்றே
முடிவைக் காண்போம் இன்றே....
Life is a circle
In it, the beginning and the end are the same
Going together as one
Let us see the end today...
தொலைவில் சிகரம்
முதல் அடி வைப்போம்....
தொலைவில் கனிகள்
கனவை விதைப்போம்....
The peak is in the distance
Let us take the first step...
Fruits are in the distance
Let us sow dreams...
ஹே ஹே போர்கள் வெளியில் இல்லை
உன்னுள் உன்னுள் உன்னுள்ளே

Hey hey, wars are not on the outside
Within you, within you, inside you..
Even your enemies
Are inside you, inside you, inside you
காலச் சக்கரத்தின்
பாகம் நீதான் பாகன் நீதான்
ஓடும் பாதை நீயேதான்
சீறும் வேகம் நீயேதான்
In the wheel of time
You are a part, you are the driver
You yourself are the path that runs
You yourself are the surging speed...
வியர்வைத் துளிகளை
எரிபொருள் ஆக்கினால்
வெற்றியின் முகவரி நீயேதான்

Trivia
Inji Idupazhagi (2015), starring Anushka Shetty and Arya, dealt with weight loss and body positivity. Lyricist Madhan Karky cleverly incorporated fitness and cycling metaphors, including anatomical terms like 'thasai' (muscles), into an upbeat track composed by M. M. Keeravani.
