வாழ தான வாழ்க்கை இருக்குது
கொஞ்சம் திரும்பி பாத்தா
வாழ்க்கையோட அருமை புரியுது
வாழ தான வாழ்க்கை இருக்குது
கண்ண தொறந்து பாத்தா
வாழ்க்கையோட அர்த்தம் புரியுது
Life exists just to be lived,
If you look back a little,
You understand the preciousness of life.
Life exists just to be lived,
If you open your eyes and look,
You understand the meaning of life.
இரு திசைகளில் வாழ்க்கை
இழு இழு இழுனு இழுக்க
எனை நான் யார் என்று தான்
எனை உணர
Life pulls in two directions,
Pulling, pulling, pulling me away,
Just to figure out who I really am,
To realize my true self.
ஏய் ஓடாதே ஏய் ஓடாதே
செடிகள் என்னை பார்க்குதே
என்னைப் பார்த்து பாடுதே
அந்த பாட்டு எனக்கு மட்டும் கேட்குதே
Hey don't run, hey don't run,
The plants are looking at me,
Looking at me, they are singing,
Only I can hear that song.
பறவைகள் கூட பார்க்குதே
என்னை பார்த்து கேட்குதே
உன்னால் பறக்க முடியுமா
Even the birds are looking,
Looking at me, they are asking,
Can you fly like us?
ஏய் ஓடாதே ஏய் ஓடாதே
செடிகள் என்னை பார்க்குதே
என்னைப் பார்த்து பாடுதே
அந்த பாட்டு எனக்கு மட்டும் கேட்குதே
Hey don't run, hey don't run,
The plants are looking at me,
Looking at me, they are singing,
Only I can hear that song.
பறவைகள் கூட பார்க்குதே
என்னை பார்த்து கேட்குதே
உன்னால் பறக்க முடியுமா
Even the birds are looking,
Looking at me, they are asking,
Can you fly like us?
Vaazha thaana vaazhkai irukudhu
Life exists just to be lived,
Konjam thirumbi paatha
If you look back a little,
Vaazhkaiyoda arumai puriyudhu
You understand the preciousness of life.
Vaazha thaana vaazhkai irukudhu
Life exists just to be lived,
Kanna thorandhu paatha
If you open your eyes and look,
Vaazhkaiyoda artham puriyudhu
You understand the meaning of life.
Iru dhisaigalil vaazhkai
Life pulls in two directions,
Ilu ilu ilu nu illukka
Pulling, pulling, pulling me away,
Enai naan yaar endru thaan
Just to figure out who I really am,
Enai unara
To realize my true self.
Hey odathe hey odathe
Hey don't run, hey don't run,
Chedigal ennai paarkudhe
The plants are looking at me,
Ennai paarthu paaduthe
Looking at me, they are singing,
Andha paatu enakku mattum ketkkudhe
Only I can hear that song.
Paravaigal kooda pakkudhe
Even the birds are looking,
Ennai paathu ketkkudhe
Looking at me, they are asking,
Unnaal parakka mudiyuma
Can you fly like us?
Hey odathe hey odathe
Hey don't run, hey don't run,
Chedigal ennai paarkudhe
The plants are looking at me,
Ennai paarthu paaduthe
Looking at me, they are singing,
Andha paatu enakku mattum ketkkudhe
Only I can hear that song.
Paravaigal kooda pakkudhe
Even the birds are looking,
Ennai paathu ketkkudhe
Looking at me, they are asking,
Unnaal parakka mudiyuma
Can you fly like us?
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from 'Rocket Driver' is an uplifting and reflective track centered on self-discovery, mindfulness, and deep harmony with nature. It conveys that life is meant to be lived authentically rather than rushed through. By pausing to reflect and opening one's eyes to the surrounding world, one realizes the true value and meaning of existence, even when pulled in conflicting directions. The lyrics feature a surreal connection with nature—where plants sing and birds challenge the protagonist to fly—symbolizing an inner awakening, a yearning for freedom, and finding peace by staying present rather than running away from oneself.
