{Everythings gonna be ok
Everythings gonna be alright
Everythings gonna be ok

For me, and for you,
these paths under the white moonlight.
In this minute,
in these few seconds,
there are no boundaries at all.
Hey, do not hold an umbrella over your heart,
do not build a wall around your dreams,
fear does not belong in the night.
Oh oh...
Leave your worries behind and step outside,
come, let us soak in the cool mist,
come, let us keep the moon company.
Yesterday is already gone,
tomorrow is just the wind,
today is right in our hands,
we have it right now.
Taking you along with me,
like a passing cloud,
like a sweet fragrance,
with deep love, I carry you away.
The city belongs to us,
we can play right in the middle of the road,
we can fall asleep by the seashore.
Just for this very moment,
let this world stand still,
where only you and I live,
let us stay with this night.
What is all this sadness for?
What more could possibly happen?
As time moves on, things will change,
whatever happens tomorrow,
let us face it tomorrow.
Yesterday is already gone,
tomorrow is just the wind,
today is right in our hands,
we have it right now.
Everything is going to be okay,
everything is going to be alright.
Everything is going to be okay,
everything is going to be alright.
Oh... ooh ooh... yeah.
With no one else around,
these empty roads, those streetlights,
these boats are all just for us.
You and I together,
feeling something magical... on this night,
Ah, chi chi chi pappapa re...
Feeling like there was no one,
when I came to a stop right here,
to walk beside me and lean on my shoulder,
it was you who was there.
The problems we put off,
will only return to touch us again,
let us put a full stop to them and move on.
The finger that trims its own nail
is never an enemy to it.
Everything is going to be okay,
everything is going to be alright.
Everything is going to be okay,
Yeah, I am going to be alright.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
