எப்பவுமே வேணுமடா
பிரண்டு எல்லாத்துக்கும்
வேணுமடா பிரண்டு ஒய்ப்
இல்லாம வாழ்ந்தவனும்
உண்டு பிரண்ட் இல்லாம
டே லைப் எண்டு
A friend is needed always, my friend
A friend is needed for everything, my friend
There are people who lived without a wife
But without a friend, daily life comes to an end
ஆறெல்லாம் கடலிலே
சேரும் சேரும் அல்லவா
ஆறெழுத்து கடல் தான்
பிரண்டு நீ இல்லை என்றதும்
அட நானும் இல்லை அல்லவா
ஹார்ட்டுக்குள் பீட்டு பிரண்டு
All the rivers in the ocean
Merge together, don't they?
Friendship is like a six-letter ocean
The moment you are not there
Oh, I too do not exist, right?
A friend is the beat inside the heart

F R I E N D, friend
Everything, everything is within a friend
F R I E N D, friend
Everything, everything is within a friend... is there
வாடா போடா மாமன்
மச்சி வார்த்தை வேதம் ஆகும்
வாங்க போங்க சார் மேடம்
சொன்னா சோகம் ஆகும்
Casual talk like 'Vaada Poda' and 'Maaman Machi'
Those words become sacred scriptures
Formal words like 'Vaanga Ponga' and 'Sir, Madam'
If spoken, will turn into sorrow
ப்ரொப்லெம் என்று
வந்தால் உன்னை சொந்தம்
தாங்கிடாது லாபம் நஷ்டம்
எண்ணி பாத்தா என்றும் நட்பு
சேர்ந்திடாது
When a problem arises
Relatives will not stand by you
If you calculate profit and loss
Friendship will never bloom
மலரினும் மெல்லிய
உறவு மறு ஜென்மம் தொடர்கிற
கனவு
A relationship softer than a flower
A dream that continues into the next rebirth
அடி தடி நமக்குள்ளே
புதியதில்லை சண்டைக்கு
தடையுமில்லை அவள் இவள்
நம்மை என்றும் பிரித்ததில்லை
காதல் நட்பை விட உயர்ந்ததில்லை
Brawls and fights between us
Are nothing new
There is no ban on fighting
This girl or that girl has never
Separated us
Love is never greater than friendship
பிரண்ட் பிரண்டு
பிரண்டுகுள்ள எல்லாம்
எல்லாம் உண்டு உண்டு

எகே 47 கூட பூக்கள்
ஆகி போகும் மேற்கில் கூட
பிரண்ட்ஷிப் ஆளே சன்
ரைஸ்சும் உண்டாகும்
Even an AK-47
Will turn into flowers
Even in the west, through friendship
A sunrise can happen
ஹாக்கி பேட் டை
போலே பிரிவை தூக்கி
அடிப்போமே ஜாக்கி வைத்து
வானம் எரி ஸ்டாரை
தொடுவோமே
Like hitting with a hockey bat
We will hit away separation
Using a jockey to climb the sky
We will touch the stars
இடைவெளிக்கொரு
தடை விதிப்போம்
தொலைவிலும் அருகினில்
இருப்போம்
We will impose a ban on distance
Even at a distance, we will stay close
நடை உடை பாவனை
யாவிலுமே நண்பனின்
சாயலடா படை பலம்
என துணை இருந்தால்
பகையே தூரம் ஓடுமடா
In walk, dress
And in every mannerism
It is the reflection of the friend
Like the strength of an army
If support is there
Enmity will run far away
ஓ ஓ ஓ ஓ
ஓஹோ ஓஹோ
ஓஓஹோ ஓஹோ
Oh oh oh oh ohooo….
Ohooo..ooohooo…ohoooo
