Hey, on the patterned ground,
In the shadow of the fortress,

கனவ சேர்த்து சுமக்கும் தோஸ்து
Like a bull roaming around and bumping into things,
To reach out and pluck unreachable fruits,
ஹேய் கட்டாம் தரையில
கொட்டா நிழலுல
முட்டி திரியுற காளை
எட்டா கனிகள எட்டி பறிச்சிட
முட்டு கொடுக்கணும் தோள
We must lend a supporting shoulder.

ஆனா நமக்குள்ள அந்த
அன்புக்கு எல்லையே இல்லை
தங்கத்த போல் ஒரு மனசோட
ரெண்டு சிங்கத்தைப்போல நடப்போம்
எப்பவும் தனக்கென்ன வாழாம
ஒரு நட்புக்கு இலக்கணம் படைப்போம்
Hoo hoo... hoo hoo... hoo hoo...

Your companionship forever,
Will stay etched deep inside the heart.
நம்மோட சுவாசம்
நின்னாலும் பாசம்
மறந்திட பழகலையே
Just like today, forever,
May our relationship be born anew!
வட்டிகடை போல குட்டி போட்டுக்கூட
வளந்திட தடை இல்லையே
Words of parents or words of others,
We never let them enter our heads.
Anyone who stands in the middle of friendship,
We have never provoked or bothered at all.
உன்னோட சங்காத்தம் எப்போதுமே
அடி நெஞ்சில் குறிபாட்டம்தான் தங்குமே
இந்நாள போலதான் எந்நாளுமே
புதுசாக பொறக்கட்டும் நம் சொந்தமே
No no no no,
Best friend... best friend
The friend who carries dreams together.

சுத்தமா சீன்டினது இல்ல
இல்ல இல்ல இல்ல இல்ல
If we stand united as one,
Problems will fly away on their own.
