எல்லாமே கொஞ்ச காலம்தான்
கடந்து போகும் சோகம் என்ற மேகம்தான்
எல்லாமே கொஞ்ச தூரம்தான்
நடந்து பழக பழகும் நடை பயணமே
Everything is only for a short time
Sorrow is just a passing cloud
Everything is just a short distance
It is a journey that becomes familiar as we walk
கடப்பதை கடந்திட நடப்பதை நம்பு
கடந்த பின் குறை சொல்லி பயன் இல்லையே
பழகிட பயன்றிட பெருங்குமாம் தெம்பு
சோர்வடைந்தால் அதில் பலன் இல்லையே
Trust what happens to overcome what must be crossed
There is no use complaining after it has passed
Great courage and stamina are needed to practice and learn
There is no benefit in getting exhausted
யாரும் பறக்கும் போது கத்துகிட்டு பறக்கல
திறமை பொறப்பால வளக்கல
யாரும் பொறக்கும் போது ஒத்துகிட்டு பொறக்குல
அடுத்தவன் பொறப்ப நாம குறை சொல்ல
Nobody learned to fly before they were born
Talent is not raised from birth
Nobody agreed to everything right when they were born
For us to find fault in someone else's birth
திறமைகளை அடுத்த தலைமுறைக்கு
பிறப்பால பரப்ப வழி இல்லையே
சோதனைகள் கடந்து சாதனைகள்
செய்யத்தான் வயத்தில் வயதில்லையே
To pass talents to the next generation
There is no way to spread them purely by birth
Beyond trials lie achievements
There is no age barrier in this world to achieve
உள்ளுக்குள்ள இருக்கும் உள்ளத்திலே
எதுவுமே நிலை இல்லையே
விண்ணுக்குள்ளே இருக்கும் விண்மீன் எல்லாம்
விழுந்தால் நிலம் இல்லையே
Inside the heart that resides within
Nothing is permanent
All the stars in the sky
If they fall, there is no ground left
தூரத்திலே யாவும் அழகுதான்
நெருங்கி பழகும் பொழுது புரியும் உறவுதான்
வானத்திலே சிறு இறகுதான்
சிறகு முளைத்து பறந்து
சிறகு முறிந்தால் நாம் நடந்து பழகும்
சிறகு முறிந்தால் நாம் நடந்து பழகும்
Everything looks beautiful from a distance
A relationship is understood only when getting close
Just a small wing in the sky
Growing wings and flying high
If the wings break, we will learn to walk
If the wings break, we will learn to walk
விடியும் முன்னே நாம் எழுந்து பழகலாம்
சோகம் எல்லாம் நாம் கடந்து பழகலாம்
சோர்வு வந்தாலும் கவனம் சிதறலாம்
Before dawn breaks, we can learn to wake up
We can learn to cross over all sorrows
Even if fatigue comes, our focus might scatter
தொடர்ந்து முயன்று
தொட முடியும் உயரம்
கரை அகன்று விழுந்த
இந்த திரைகடலாம்
அணுவின் அதிர்வில்
உன் உயிரின் உருவிலே
தொடங்கி முடியுமே இந்த உலகமெல்லாம்
By trying continuously
We can touch heights
Breaking away from the shore and falling
This vast ocean of waves
In the vibration of an atom
In the form of your soul
This whole world begins and ends
உலகமெல்லாம் உன் உருவே
உயிர்கள் எல்லாம் உன் அருளே
The whole world is your form
All living beings are your grace
சிரித்து வாழ வேண்டி
பிறரை வெறுத்து வாழ்ந்திடாதே
பொறுத்து வாழ வேண்டும்
பிறரை கெடுத்து வாழ்ந்திடாதே
படித்து வாழ வேண்டும்
பிறரை பழித்து வாழ்ந்திடாதே
சிரித்து வாழ வேண்டி
பிறரை அழித்து வாழ்ந்திடாதே
To live happily with a smile
Do not live hating others
We must live with patience
Do not live by harming others
We must live by learning
Do not live by blaming others
To live happily with a smile
Do not live hating others
இதோ பார் பயம் காட்டும் வாட்ஸ்அப்
இதுல சாதி மதம் சண்டைகள் எல்லாமே
டூ ஸ்டெப்ஸ்லே பிளாக் பேக்
என்ன கோவில்கள் எல்லாமே பூட்ட பட்ட பின்
தெய்வமகள் எல்லாமே ரோட்டில்
மிருகங்கள் எல்லாமே வீதியில்லே
நாம் வீதி இருப்பது அவர் காட்டில்
Look at WhatsApp showing fear
All caste and religious fights are in it
Back to black in just two steps
When all kinds of intoxications are locked away
All gods are on the road
All beasts are in the streets
We are staying out on their streets, in their wild
எல்லாரும் வெறும் மனிதர்கள்தான்
இந்த புரிதல் இல்லாமல் புரிந்து கொள்ளாமல்
எல்லோரும் வெறும் மனிதர்கள்தான்
இதை அறிவு கொள்ளாமல் அறிவே இல்லாமல்
Everyone is just a human being
Without understanding this, without comprehending
Everyone is just a human being
Without taking this to mind, without wisdom
மேல் என கீழ் என பிரிப்பது சரியா
மதிகெட்டு மதம் கொண்டு அழிப்பது முறையா
மனிதா.....இங்கே உயிர்கள் எல்லாம் ஒன்றுதான்
இதை அறிந்தால்......இந்த உலகில் வாழ்வாய் நன்றுதான்
Is it right to divide into upper and lower classes?
Is it proper to destroy with lost senses and fanaticism?
O human... all living beings here are one and the same
If you realize this... life in this world will be good
தூரத்திலே யாவும் அழகுதான்
நெருங்கி பழகும் பொழுது புரியும் உறவுதான்
வானத்திலே சிறு இறகுதான்
சிறகு முளைத்து பறந்து
சிறகு முறிந்தால் நாம் நடந்து பழகும்
சிறகு முறிந்தால் நாம் நடந்து பழகும்
Everything looks beautiful from a distance
A relationship is understood only when getting close
Just a small feather in the sky
Growing wings and flying high
If the wings break, we can learn to walk
If the wings break, we can learn to walk
விடியும் முன்னே நாம் எழுந்து பழகலாம்
சோகம் எல்லாம் நாம் கடந்து பழகலாம்
சோர்வு வந்தாலும் கவனம் சிதறலாம்
Before dawn breaks, we can learn to wake up
We can learn to cross over all sorrows
Even if fatigue comes, our focus might scatter
