Losing my mother at a very young age,
I shed and exhausted all my tears back then.
I am like a vehicle driving against traffic on a one-way street,
I have faced troubles in all kinds of varieties and designs.
உப்பிலாம சோறு தின்னே நாக்கு செத்து
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :

ஜிப் இல்லாம ஜீனஸ்ஸ போட்டேன் பேரு கெட்டு
ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :

ஆண் மற்றும் குழு :

I ate unsalted rice until my tongue lost its taste...
It is all gone!
I wore zipperless jeans and lost my reputation...

I roamed around penniless and lost my friendships...
It is all gone!
One can overcome all this and live, and I am...
The living proof of that!

Hey, two atomic bombs fell on Japan back then,
Hasn't that city made of ash risen back to its feet now?

Don't worry, don't, don't, don't worry.
அட தெரு வெளக்குல படிச்சவங்க பேரில் தெரு உண்டு

Look, streets are named after those who studied under streetlights!
What is a diamond after all? It was once just a piece of coal!
டோன்ட் வொர்ரி டோன்ட் டோன்ட் டோன்ட் வொர்ரி
Don't worry, don't, don't, don't worry.
சர்ரு புர்ரு பைக்க பாத்து பொண்ணு ஆகும் பிரெண்ட

Seeing a fast bike, a girl becomes a friend,
If she doesn't like it, breaking up in a minute is the current trend!

They mocked him as a useless fellow,
But he posted a reel on Instagram and hit eight million views!
டோன்ட் வொர்ரி டோன்ட் டோன்ட் டோன்ட் வொர்ரி
Don't worry, don't, don't, don't worry.
ஆஹா லட்ச ரூபா கடிகாரம் இருக்குதுன்னு பேச்சு

People talk proudly about owning a watch worth lakhs of rupees,
But doesn't a cheap watch show the exact same time?
டோன்ட் வொர்ரி டோன்ட் டோன்ட் டோன்ட் வொர்ரி
Don't worry, don't, don't, don't worry.
