மச்சி ராக் எல்லாம்
காத்த கிழிக்கலாம்
சோக்கா பறக்கலாம்
மாமா தெரிக்கலாம்
Friend, everything rocks
Let us tear through the wind
Let us fly in style
Dude, let us make things blow up with excitement
புதுசா பழசா
இதில் யார் நீ
உனக்கே சொல்லும்
இந்த ஜெர்னி
ஒரு கப் டைம்யை
எடுத்து சிப் அடிச்சிடு
ஒன் செக் ஹோல்டு ஆன்
லைப்ப கொஞ்சம் ருசிச்சிடு
Whether new or old
Who are you among this?
It will reveal to you
This journey itself
Take a cup of time
Take a sip of it
Hold on for one second
Savor life a little bit
டேய் மச்சான் தேவ்

ஒன் ட்ரிபுல்ல பிரிண்ட்ஸிப்தான்
ரெக்கை விரிக்கும் ஏரோப்ளேனா
தோஸ்த்தோடதான் ஒன் டேட்டுடா
நட்புக்கு இது ஹனிமூனா
On a single trip, friendship itself
Spreads its wings like an airplane
Just one date with a buddy
Is this a honeymoon for friendship?
ஓ ஓஓஓ எங்கள் வழியே
என்ஜாய்ஸ்மா
ஓ ஓஓஓ இனிமே உலகம்
எங்கள் வசமா
மனசு என்கிற டைம் மிசினுல
நீ ஏறலாம்....
Oh ooo, our path
Is full of pure enjoyment!
Oh ooo, from now on the world
Is under our control
In the time machine called the mind
You can board...

மழை வரும் நொடி
மகிழ்வது எது
குடை விட்டு நீயும் நனைவது
மனதினை மெல்ல பறந்திட விடு
நினைவுகள் அது வரை அது
The moment rain arrives
What brings true happiness?
Ditching the umbrella and getting drenched yourself
Let your mind fly gently
Memories last until then
நாளை வரும் என்று சொல்லும்
பூக்கள் எங்கும் பூப்பதில்லை
வா ரசிப்போம் வாழ்க்கை இங்கே
யாருக்கும் காப்பதில்லை....ஹாஹாஹ
Saying tomorrow will come
Flowers do not bloom everywhere
Come, let us cherish life right here
No one is saved or held back forever... haahaha

Poetic devices
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Kaththa kilikkalaam / Sokkaa parakkalaam / Mamaa therikkalaam”
The line endings 'kilikkalaam', 'parakkalaam', and 'therikkalaam' end with the identical verbal suffix '-laam', creating a catchy rhythm.
Metaphor
“Oru cup time-ai / Eduthu sip adichidu”
Time is metaphorically framed as a warm beverage ('cup time-ai') to be sipped and savored slowly.
Metaphor
“Manasu engira time machinula”
The human mind is directly compared to a 'time machine' that allows one to travel through thoughts and memories.
