திரும்பி போவும்
உன் திசை எது தெரிந்தது
மாறிப் போகாதே
வருவதை நீ எதிர்கொண்டு பார்த்திடு
கோழை ஆகாதே..ஏ...
Which direction will turn back?
Once known, it will not change.
Face whatever comes your way,
Look at it and do not become a coward.
உன் இள ரத்தம்
அது நித்தம் கொதிக்கட்டும்
எண்ணிய எண்ணம்
அது என்றும் ஜெயிக்கட்டும்
தப்பேதும் இல்லை
நீ அப்பனுக்குப் பிள்ளை
Your young blood,
Let it boil every day.
The thought you envisioned,
Let it always triumph.
There is nothing wrong,
You are your father's child.
எதிர்த்து நில்
எதிரியே இல்லை
நம்பிக்கைகொள்
தடைகளே இல்லை
நிமிடம் ஏன் நொடிகளே போதும்
நினைப்பதே வெற்றிதானே
எழுந்து வா
Stand up and face it, there is no enemy.
Have faith, there are no obstacles.
Why minutes? Seconds are enough.
Merely thinking of it is victory itself.
Arise and come!
லாயில்லல்லா
லாயில்லல்லா லேயோ
லாயில்லல்லா
லாயில்லல்லா லேயோ
லாயில்லல்லா
லாயில்லல்லா லேயோ
நினைப்பதே வெற்றிதானே
எழுந்து வா
Laayillala layilla la leyo
Laayillala layilla la leyo
Laayillala layilla la leyo
Merely thinking of it is victory itself.
Arise and come!
தன்னால் வருவதை ஏற்றுக்கொள்
உன் கால் பதிவுகள் அழியாது
வான்வெளி வரை தொட்டுச் செல்
உன் பரம்பரை முடிவேது
Accept whatever comes on its own,
Your footprints will never be erased.
Touch up to the outer space and go,
Where is the end to your lineage?
விழித்தவன் தூங்கக் கூடாது
எழுந்தபின் விழுதல் ஆகாது
வாராத பொழுது
வருகிற பொழுது வாரிக்கொள்
One who has awakened must not sleep,
Having risen, falling must not happen.
The elusive moment,
Seize the moment as it arrives.
When time offers what it usually denies,
Come, fly high above the ground,
Soaring high like the sky...
தாராத ஒன்றை தருகிற நேரம்
வா பறந்து மண் மேல் இருந்து
விண் போல் உயர்ந்து....
Stand up and face it, there is no enemy.
Have faith, there are no obstacles.
Why minutes? Seconds are enough.
Merely thinking of it is victory itself.
Arise and come!
எதிர்த்து நில்
எதிரியே இல்லை
நம்பிக்கைகொள்
தடைகளே இல்லை
நிமிடம் ஏன் நொடிகளே போதும்
நினைப்பதே வெற்றிதானே
எழுந்து வா
Consider unity as the only relationship,
Accept today as the truth.
What is bound by love will not separate,
That is the true state, accept it.
ஒன்றே உறவென எண்ணிக்கொள்
இன்றே நிஜமென ஏற்றுக்கொள்
அன்பால் இணைத்தது விலகாது
அதுவே நிலை அதை ஒப்புக்கொள்
Execute what you intended and move forward,
Let our history stand firm.
No matter what happens,
Will the breaking dawn ever change?
For everyone here, in the times ahead,
Happiness itself is the beginning,
This is indeed permanent.
நினைத்ததை நடத்தி முன்னேறு
நிலைக்கட்டும் நமது வரலாறு
ஏதான போதும்
விடிகிற பொழுது மாறுமோ...
Which direction will turn back?
Once known, it will not change.
Face whatever comes your way,
Look at it and do not become a coward.
எல்லோர்க்கும் இங்கே
இனி வரும் காலம்
ஆனந்தம்தான் ஆரம்பம்
இது நிரந்தரம்தான்....
Your young blood,
Let it boil every day.
The thought you envisioned,
Let it always triumph.
There is nothing wrong,
You are your father's child.
திரும்பி போவும்
உன் திசை எது தெரிந்தது

வருவதை நீ எதிர்கொணடு பார்த்திடு
