இதுவும் கடந்து போகும்
இதுவும் கடந்து போகும்
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
சுடரி இருளில் மூழ்காதே
வேலி தான் கதவை மூடாதே
ஆறு காலங்களும் மாறி மாறி வரும்
இயற்கையின் விதி இதுவே
அழியாத காயங்களை ஆற்றும் மாயங்களை
அனுபவம் கொடுத்திடுமே
Oh glowing flame, do not yearn in the darkness
The outside light has not closed its door
Hey, all six seasons will keep changing in cycles
This is the law of nature
The magic of healing indelible wounds
Will be gifted to you by experience
மழை காற்றோடு போகும் வரை போனால் என்ன
அது ஏதோ ஒரு பூவின் துணை ஆனால் என்ன
What if the rain travels as far as the wind goes?
What if it becomes the companion to some flower?
சுடரி சுடரி உடைந்து போகாதே
உடனே வலிகள் மறைந்து போகாதே
சில நாள் வரைக்கும் அதை சீண்டாதே
அதுவாய் மறக்கும் பின் தொடராதே
Oh glowing flame, do not break into pieces
Painful paths will not disappear immediately
Do not disturb or provoke it for a few days
It will forget on its own and will not reappear later
இதுவும் கடந்து போகும்
இதுவும் கடந்து போகும்
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
இதுவும் கடந்து போகும் ...(3)
ஏதுவும் கடந்து போகும்
This too shall pass...
Everything shall pass
அதுவே படைக்கும் அதுவே உடைக்கும்
மனம் தான் ஒரு குழந்தையே
அதுவாய் மலரும் அதுவாய் உதிரும்
அது போல் இந்த கவலையே
It creates on its own, it breaks on its own
The mind is indeed like a child
It blooms on its own, it withers on its own
Such is the nature of this worry too
நாள் தோரும் ஏதோ மாறுதல்
வானும் மண்ணும் வாழும் ஆறுதல்
பேசாமல் வா வாழ்வை வாழ்ந்திருப்போம்
Every day brings some change
Sky and earth live as a quiet solace
Come, let us live life in peaceful silence
மழை காற்றோடு போகும் வரை போனால் என்ன
அது ஏதோ ஒரு பூவின் துணை ஆனால் என்ன
What if the rain travels as far as the wind goes?
What if it becomes the companion to some flower?
சுடரி சுடரி உடைந்து போகாதே
உடனே வலிகள் மறைந்து போகாதே
சில நாள் வரைக்கும் அதை சீண்டாதே
அதுவாய் மறக்கும் பின் தொடராதே
Oh glowing flame, do not break into pieces
Painful paths will not disappear immediately
Do not disturb or provoke it for a few days
It will forget on its own and will not reappear later
இதுவும் கடந்து போகும்
இதுவும் கடந்து போகும்
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
அதுவாய் விழுந்தே அதுவாய் எழுந்தே
குழந்தை நடை பழகுதே
மனதால் உணர்ந்தே உடலே விரிந்தே
பறவை திசை அமைக்குதே
Falling on its own and standing up on its own
A child learns how to walk
Feeling through the mind, expanding its body
A bird sets its own direction in flight
வசம் தான் பூவின் பார்வைகள்
காற்றில் ஏறி காணும் காட்சிகள்
காணாமல் வெளியாக பார்த்திடுமே
Fragrance is indeed the gaze of a flower
Sights seen while riding upon the wind
It beholds the vast open space invisibly
சிறு ஊற்றாக நேசம் எங்கோ உருவாகுமே
பெரும் காற்றாக மாறி சென்று உறவாடுமே
Love will originate somewhere like a tiny spring
It will turn into a mighty wind and form deep bonds
சுடரி சுடரி வெளிச்சம் தீராதே
அதை நீ உணர்ந்தாள் பயணம் தீராதே
அழகே சுடரி அட ஏங்காதே
மலரின் நினைவில் மனம் வாடாதே
Oh glowing flame, the light will never run out
If you realize that, the journey will never end
Oh beautiful flame, do not yearn
Do not let your heart wither in memories of a flower
இதுவும் கடந்து போகும் ...(5)
போகும் ....கடந்து போகும் ....
This too shall pass...
It will pass... it shall pass...
Idhuvum kadandhu pogum
This too shall pass
Idhuvum kadandhu pogum
This too shall pass
Sudari irulil yengathae
Oh glowing flame, do not yearn in the darkness
Veli thaan kadhavai mudathae
The outside light has not closed its door
Ada aaru kaalangalum mari mari varum
Hey, all six seasons will keep changing in cycles
Iyarkaiyin vidhi idhuvae
This is the law of nature
Azhiyadha kaayangalai aatrum maayangalai
The magic of healing indelible wounds

Mazhai katrodu pogum varai ponal enna
What if the rain travels as far as the wind goes?
Adhu yedho or poovin thunai aanal enna
What if it becomes the companion to some flower?
Sudari sudari udaindhu pogathae
Oh glowing flame, do not break into pieces
Udanae vazhigal maraindhu pogathae
Painful paths will not disappear immediately
Sila naal varaikum adhai seendathae
Do not disturb or provoke it for a few days
Adhuvai marakkum pin thondradhae
It will forget on its own and will not reappear later

This too shall pass
Idhuvum kadandhu pogum…(3)

It creates on its own, it breaks on its own

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Idhuvum Kadandhu Pogum' (This Too Shall Pass) is a soul-stirring, motivational anthem that centers around resilience, hope, and the impermanent nature of pain. Lyricist Karthik Netha uses evocative nature imagery—seasons changing, rain riding the wind, flowers blooming and withering, and children learning to walk—to remind the listener that suffering is merely a temporary phase in life's natural cycle. Composer Girishh Gopalakrishnan's subtle arrangement combined with Sid Sriram's emotional vocals turns the track into a warm, soothing lullaby for a grieving heart. Addressing the listener as a 'Sudari' (glowing flame), the song gently advises patience, self-compassion, and acceptance, promising that healing is an organic experience brought about by time.

Trivia
Released during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic prior to the movie's release, 'Idhuvum Kadandhu Pogum' became an unofficial healing anthem across Tamil Nadu. The song was specially composed to reflect the perspective of Nayanthara's character in 'Netrikann', who plays a blind former police officer coping with trauma and navigating life's challenges.
