வாடா மச்சி ஊர சுத்தி பாக்க போவோம்
நட்புகுள்ள புது அர்த்தம் தேடுவோம்
லைஃப்ப ஜாலியா வைப்-யூ பண்ண போறோம்
ஊருக்குள்ள அட்டியட்டு போடுவோம்
Come on, mate, let's go explore the town together!
Let's discover a fresh new meaning within our friendship.
We are going to vibe and enjoy life cheerfully.
We will hang out and roam all across the city.
காசு பணம் தேவ இல்ல நட்புக்குள்ள
அன்பு மட்டும் போதும் எதுவும் கேக்கவில்லை
சின்ன புள்ள போல ஆரம்பிக்கும் சண்டையில
சாகும் வர நம்ம ஆட்டம் தப்பே இல்ல
Money and wealth are never required between true friends.
Love alone is enough; we don't ask for anything else.
Even in petty fights that start like childish squabbles,
Having fun together until we die is never wrong.
லைஃப்ஃபுல்லா சேத்து வெச்ச நட்பே போதும் மச்சி
எனக்கு தா கவலயில்ல ஃபன் மூடும் ஸ்டார்ட்-உ ஆச்சு
லைஃப்ஃபுல்லா சேத்து வெச்ச நட்பே போதும் மச்சி
எனக்கு தா கவலயில்ல ஃபன் மூடும் ஸ்டார்ட்-உ ஆச்சு
The friendship I've gathered over my lifetime is enough, mate.
I have zero worries, and the fun mood has kicked in!
The friendship I've gathered over my lifetime is enough, mate.
I have zero worries, and the fun mood has kicked in!
தோள் மேல கைய போட்டு கெத்தா ஊருக்குள்ள
பைக் ஓட்டும் போது எங்கள அடிச்சிக்க ஆளே இல்ல
ஃப்யூச்சர் பத்தி நாங்க கொஞ்சம் கூட யோசிக்கல
ஃப்ரெண்ட்ஷிப்ப பூட்டி வைக்க மனசுக்குள் இன்னும் இல்ல
Walking around town with swag, putting an arm over each other's shoulders,
When we ride our bike, there's nobody who can beat us.
We haven't thought about the future even a little bit.
In friendship, there is nothing hidden inside our hearts.
என் காதலுக்கு நீ தாண்டா தூது
மொதலுக்கும் மச்சி நீ என் தோது
நீ இல்லன்னா வாழ்க தனிமையில் வெறுப்பு
நட்பு மட்டும் போதும் தோல்வி இல்ல எனக்கு
For my love story, you are the messenger, my friend.
Even during a fight or trouble, mate, you are my support.
Without you, life feels lonely and filled with frustration.
Friendship alone is enough; there is no defeat for me.
நட்புக்கு நடுவுள் ஈகோ கிடையாதே
வாழும் காலம் நம்ம பாசம் மறக்காதே
உன் கூட இருந்த சோகம் கிடையாதே
எங்களோட ஃப்ரெண்ட்ஸ்ஷிப் ஸ்டோரி இது தானே
There is no room for ego between friends.
Throughout our lives, our deep affection will never be forgotten.
When I am with you, there is no place for sorrow.
This is our friendship story, isn't it?
