| Ennai saaithaale uyir theithaale | She knocked me over and eroded my soul |
| Ini vaazhveno inithaaga | Will I live sweetly from now on? |
| Thadumaaraamal tharaimothamal | Without stumbling, without crashing onto the ground |
| Ini meelveno muzhuthaaga | Will I fully recover now? |
| Male | |
| Netru pole vaanam ada indrum kooda neelam | The sky is blue today, just like yesterday |
| En naatkal thaan neelum | Yet my days are stretching out long |
| Female | |
| Thalli poga ennum kaal pakkam vanthu pinnum | Time tries to move away, yet comes back near and circles around |
| Ketkaathey yaar sollum | It does not listen to anyone's words |
| Male | |
| Paravai naan siragu nee | I am the bird, you are the wings |
| Naan kaatrai vella aasai kondaen | I desired to conquer the wind |

என்னை சாய்த்தாலே
உயிர் தேய்த்தாலே இனி
வாழ்வேனோ இனிதாக
தடுமாறாமல் தரை மோதாமல்
இனி மீள்வேனோ முழுதாக
She knocked me over and eroded my soul
Will I live sweetly from now on?
Without stumbling, without crashing onto the ground
Will I fully recover now?
இதழோரத்தில்
நகைபூத்தாளே என்
பாவங்கள் தீர்த்தேன்
மழை ஈரத்தில் நனையாமல்
நான் வெளியேற தான் பார்த்தேன்
The sky is blue today, just like yesterday
Yet my days are stretching out long
நடக்கிற வரை
நகர்கிற தரை அதன்
மேல் தவிக்கிறேன்
விழிகளில் பிழை
விழுகிற திரை அதனால்
திகைக்கிறேன்
Time tries to move away, yet comes back near and circles around
It does not listen to anyone's words
நேற்று போலே
வானம் அட இன்றும் கூட
நீலம் என் நாட்கள் தான் நீளும்
I am the bird, you are the wings
I desired to conquer the wind
தள்ளிப் போக
எண்ணும் கால் பக்கம்
வந்து பின்னும் கேட்காதே
யார் சொல்லும்
I am the journey, you are the path
I found myself going beyond all boundaries
பறவை நான்
சிறகு நீ நான் காற்றை
வெல்ல ஆசைக் கொண்டேன்
She knocked me over and eroded my soul
Will I live sweetly from now on?
Without stumbling, without crashing onto the ground
Will I fully recover now?
பயணம் நான்
வழிகள் நீ நான் எல்லைத்
தாண்டிச் செல்லக் கண்டேன்
When evening arrives, it is enough for my body to burn with a fever of a hundred and ten degrees
Burning red like a flame lily flower
When the wind comes and touches me
It feels like your hands
Only for disappointment to strike right after
என்னை சாய்த்தாலே
உயிர் தேய்த்தாலே இனி
வாழ்வேனோ இனிதாக
தடுமாறாமல் தரை மோதாமல்
இனி மீள்வேனோ முழுதாக
I hide my inner turmoil
I kept my lies locked away
மாலை வந்தால்
போதும் ஒரு நூற்றி
பற்றில் தேகம் செங்காந்தள்
போல் காயும்
I wake up inside a dream
And found a key in my hand
காற்று வந்து
மோதும் உன் கைகள்
என்றே தோன்றும்
பின் ஏமாற்றம் தீண்டும்
She knocked me over, tra-la-la-la
Will I live sweetly from now on?
Without stumbling, without crashing onto the ground
Will I fully recover now?
தவிப்பதை
மறைக்கிறேன் என்
பொய்யை பூட்டி
வைத்துக் கொண்டேன்
If a smile blossoms at the corner of her lips
All my sins are redeemed
Without getting soaked in the wetness of the rain
As I attempted to step outside
கனவிலே
விழிக்கிறேன் என்
கையில் சாவி
ஒன்றைக் கண்டேன்
As long as I walk, the ground beneath moves
And I struggle helplessly over it
A fault in the eyes, a falling curtain
Because of that, I am completely bewildered
என்னை சாய்த்தாலே
ராரா ராரா ரா இனி
வாழ்வேனோ இனிதாக
தடுமாறாமல்
தரை மோதாமல்
இனி மீள்வேனோ
முழுதாக
இதழோரத்தில்
நகைபூத்தாளே என்
பாவங்கள் தீர்த்தேன்
மழை ஈரத்தில்
நனையாமல் நான்
வெளியேற தான் பார்த்தாள்
நடக்கிற வரை
நகர்கிற தரை அதன்
மேல் தவிக்கிறேன்
விழிகளில் பிழை
விழுகிற திரை அதனால்
திகைக்கிறேன்
