The one God that every God accepts
Is the God called love
The one blood that every body accepts
Is love
எல்லா கடவுளும்
ஏற்று கொள்ளும்
ஒரு கடவுள் காதல்
எல்லா உடல்களும் ஏற்று கொள்ளும்
ஒரே ரத்தம் காதல்
What is the religion of the wind?
What is the caste of water?
What is the color of God?
What discrimination is there in love?
காற்றுக்கு மதம் தான் என்ன
தண்ணீரின் ஜாதி என்ன…
கடவுளின் நிறம்தான் என்ன
காதலுக்கு பேதம் என்ன
Come, let us recite poems
That hail love!
Come, let us see a millennium
Where gentleness rules!
காதலுக்கு ஜே போடும்
கவிதையெல்லாம்
சொல்வோம் வாருங்கள்

சமரசமே இல்லாத
சமதர்மம் தான் வர வேண்டும்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic youth anthem from the film Ullam Ketkumae serves as a call to action for the younger generation. Drawing inspiration from former Indian President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam's famous exhortation to 'dream big', the song encourages students and friends to envision audacious goals, such as linking rivers, greening deserts, and advancing science to the point of walking on Mars.
