இயற்கை என்னை அழைக்கிறதே
இறக்கைகளும் முளைக்கிறதே
இளைவருடும் காட்சி எந்தன்
தலைவருடி நடக்கிறதே
Nature is calling out to me,
Wings are beginning to sprout for me.
The sight of leaves gently brushing past,
Walks by, softly stroking my hair.
நிறம் நூறாகியே
அந்த வானம் சிரிக்கிறதே
Turning into a hundred vibrant colors,
That distant sky is smiling.
இந்த வாழ்க்கை
ஒரு வாழ்க்கை
அதை வாழ தோணுதே
This life,
Is just one single life,
And I feel a desire to truly live it.
ஓ.... ஓ....
Ooo… ooo….
இயற்கை என்னை அழைக்கிறதே
இறக்கைகளும் முளைக்கிறதே
இளைவருடும் காட்சி எந்தன்
தலைவருடி நடக்கிறதே
Nature is calling out to me,
Wings are beginning to sprout for me.
The sight of leaves gently brushing past,
Walks by, softly stroking my hair.
இசைக்கும் இந்த பறவைகளும்
ஸ்வரங்கள் இங்கு பயில்கிறதோ
வரிசை கட்டும் நெருப்புகள்
நானும் வந்து வைத்ததோ
Are these musical birds,
Practicing their melodic notes here?
The fires lining up in sequence,
Did I come and set them alight?
அட இன்பங்கள் இருக்குது பூமி எங்குமே
நீ அறைக்குள்ளே அடைந்தது போதும் நெஞ்சமே
நீ வாழாதே...
நீ வாழாதே வாழ்க்கைதான்
முன்னும் பின்னுமே
வாழ வா வா என்று அழைக்குது
இன்னும் இன்னுமே
Ah, boundless joy exists everywhere on this earth,
It is enough staying locked inside a room, oh my heart!
Do not live an unlived life...
A life that isn't fully experienced,
All around, ahead and behind,
Beckons you saying, 'Come, come live!'
More and more.
ஓ... ஓ...
Ooo.. ooo…
Ooo… ooo…..
Ooo… ooo…..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a vibrant ode to freedom, nature, and self-discovery. The lyrics capture the protagonist's profound awakening as they break free from mental and physical confinement (metaphorically represented by being locked inside a room) to embrace the wild, colorful world outside. Nature acts as both a gentle companion and a grand spectacle—leaves stroke their hair, the sky smiles in a hundred shades, and birds seem to practice musical notes.
