நாளை வரும் நேரம்
நேற்று ஏதோ தரும் தல பாரம்
நாளை வரும் நேரம்
பாவி நெஞ்சின் ஓரம் நேற்றில் பாரம்
Breath fills everywhere,
When the breeze arrives.
The bamboo sings,
I immersed in solace within the shadow.
Every day I played a drama...
I searched a hundred different paths.
சுவாசம் எங்கும் சேரும்
காற்று வந்த நேரம்
மூங்கில் பாடும்
A new world became familiar,
The old path moved away.
I am moving forward, I understand,
To continuously transform without stopping.
நிழலில் ஆறுதல் ஆழினேன்
தினம் ஒரு நாடகம் ஆடினேன்
வழி நூறு பாதை தேடினேன்
As eyes grow tired,
As time wears away,
Look here, wounds heal.
புது உலகம் பழகியது
பழைய வலி விலகியது
நகருகிறேன் புரிகிறது
நில்லாமலே மாறிடவே
As sulking ends,
As patterns change,
Look here, wisdom accumulates.
