எனக்காக உனக்காக
வெண்ணிலவின் சாலைகள்
இந்த நிமிஷத்திலே
இந்த நொடிகளிலே
கிடையாதே எல்லைகள்
For me, for you
The roads of moonlight
At this very moment
In these seconds
There are no boundaries
ஹேய் மனசுக்கு குடை நீட்டாதே
கனவுக்கு சுவர் போடாதே
இரவுகள் பயமாகாதே
ஹோ.. ஹோ.. ஹோ.
Hey, do not hold an umbrella over the mind
Do not build a wall for dreams
Do not be afraid of the night
Oh ohhh..
Come out leaving your worries behind
Come, let us get drenched in the cool dew
Come, let us be companions to the moon
நீ கவலைகள்
விட்டு வெளியே வா
பனிக்குளிரினில் நனைவோம் வா
இரவுக்குத்துணை இருப்போம் வா
Yesterday is already gone
Tomorrow is like the wind
Today is in our hands
It has joined us right now
நேற்றென்பது போயாச்சு
நாளைகளும் காற்றாச்சா
இன்றென்பது நம் கையில்
இப்போதே சேர்ந்தாச்சு
Yesterday is already gone
Tomorrow is like the wind
Today is in our hands
It has joined us right now
Taking you with me
Like a cloud
Like a fragrance
நேற்றென்பது போயாச்சு
நாளைகளும் காற்றாச்சா
இன்றென்பது நம் கையில்
இப்போதே சேர்ந்தாச்சு
I carry you along with love
The city is in our hands
We can play in the middle of the road
We can sleep for a while by the seaside
உன்னை என்னோடு....
ஒரு மேகமாய்
ஒரு வாசமாய் ஒரு நேசமாய்
கொண்டு போகிறேன்
At this very moment
May this earth come to a standstill
Where only you and I live
We shall remain with the night
What sorrow, what sorrow, what sorrow is this?
நகரும் நம் கையில்
நடுச்சாலையில் விளையாடலாம்
கடலோரமாய் கொஞ்சம் தூங்கலாம்
What more is going to happen?
As time passes, time will change
What tomorrow holds, about tomorrow
Let us see then
இந்த இந்த நிமிடமாக
இந்த பூமி நின்றுப்போக
நீயும் நானும் மட்டும் வாழும்
இரவோடு இருப்போம்
Yesterday is already gone
Tomorrow is like the wind
Today is in our hands
It has joined us right now
என்ன என்ன என்ன சோகம்
இன்னும் இன்னும் என்ன ஆகும்
போகப்போகக் காலம் மாறும்
நாளைக்கு என்னென்று
நாளைக்கு நாம் பார்க்கலாம்
Everything's gonna be ok
நேற்றென்பது போயாச்சு
நாளைகளும் காற்றாச்சா
இன்றென்பது நம் கையில்
இப்போதே சேர்ந்தாச்சு
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be ok
Everything's gonna be alright
Ohhh…oo oohh..yeah
With no one around
These empty roads, those streetlights
..................
These boats are all meant just for us
You and I together as one
In a special way.. this night
Ah chi chi chi bappapa re
ஹோ ஹோ.......
ஹோஹோ ஹோ.......
ஏஹே ஹ ஹ
Just because no one is around
Should I also stop right here?
To come along and lean on my shoulder
You were the one who was there
The problems we keep postponing
ஹோ... யாரும் இல்லாத
இந்த சாலைகள் அந்த விளக்குகள்
இந்தப் படகுகள் நமக்காகவே
Will come back and touch us again
Let us put a full stop and move on
The finger that trims its own nail
Has no other finger as an enemy
நீதான் ஒன்றாக......
ஒரு மாதிரி இந்த ராத்திரி
அடி சிச்சி வவவ பப்பரே
யாரும் இல்லை என்பதாக
நானம் இங்கு நின்றுப்போக
கூடவந்து தோளில் சாய
நீதானே இருந்தாய்
தள்ளிப்போடும் பிரச்சினைகள்
மீண்டும் வந்துத் தொட்டுப்பார்க்கும்
முற்றுப்புள்ளி வைத்துப்போவோம்
நகம் தன்னை நறுக்கிய விரலொன்று
எதிரி இல்லை
.................

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from Kadhal 2 Kalyanam is an uplifting, free-spirited anthem about living in the present moment. The lyrics urge the listener to break away from past regrets and future anxieties, stressing that yesterday is gone and tomorrow is uncertain like the wind, leaving only today firmly in our control. Set against a serene nocturnal backdrop of empty streets, moonlight, and cool ocean breezes, it celebrates unconditional companionship and emotional liberation.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaibu (End Rhyme)
“Hey manasuku kudai neetadhae / Kanavukku suvar podathae / Iravukku bayam agagaathae”
The repetitive suffix '-adhae' creates a rhythmic end rhyme across consecutive lines, emphasizing prohibitions against self-imposed mental limits.
Metaphor
“Naalaigalum kaatrachu”
Comparing tomorrow to wind ('kaatrachu') symbolizes the elusive, uncertain, and ungraspable nature of the future.
Anaphora / Repetitive Parallelism
“Oru megamaai / Oru vaasamaai / Oru nesamaai kondu pogiren”
The repetition of 'Oru' (A / Like a) at the beginning of successive phrases creates a poetic cadence expressing gentle affection.
Proverbial Imagery
“Nagam thannai narukiya / Viralondrum edhiri illai”
The metaphor of a finger cutting its own nail highlights self-reliance and the idea that our true obstacles lie within ourselves, not outside.
