கஷ்டம் முன்ன வந்தா வந்தா
டிஷ்யும் இந்தா இந்தா
ஏ வாட்டம் லைட்டா வந்தா வந்தா
ஆட்டம் வெயிட்டா இந்தா
If trouble comes in front of you,
Here, take a punch!
Hey, if routine/boredom lightly comes along,
Make your dance moves heavy! Here, take this!
சோகம் பொங்கி வந்தா வந்தா
சோடா இந்தா இந்தா
ஏ வாட்ட சோகம் கஷ்டம் மூணும்
சேர்ந்து வந்துட்டா
நீ பீட்ட போடு இந்தா இந்தா
If sadness bubbles and wells up,
Here, take a soda!
Hey, if boredom, sadness, and trouble—all three,
Come together at once,
Just drop a beat! Here, take this!
உன் மண்டைக்குள்ள டார்ச்சர் இன்னும்
கூச்சல் போடுதா
ஏய் பாட்ட கேளு இந்தா இந்தா
Is the torture inside your head still,
Screaming and making noise?
Hey, listen to this song! Here, take this!
சந்தோஷம் ஓடி போச்சுன்னா
பின்னால ஓடி போயி புடிக்க முடியுமா
உன் ஸ்மைல்லும் தொலைஞ்சி போச்சுன்னா
உன்னால கண்டு புடிச்சு சிரிக்க முடியுமா
If happiness runs away,
Can you run behind it and catch it?
If your smile gets lost,
Can you search for it and laugh?
ஜாலி காலி ஆனா
கவலை எதுக்கு வீணா
உன் உலகம் உனக்கு இருக்கு தெரியுமா
முன்னால போ உன் ரூட்டு மாறும் தானா
காலம் போல ப்ரண்டு கெடைக்குமா
உனக்குத்தான்......
Even if the fun comes to an end,
Why worry needlessly?
Do you know that your world is waiting for you?
Move forward, your route will change on its own.
Can you ever find a friend like time?
Just for you...
ஏய் யாரச்சும் தத்துவம் சொன்னா
தப்பிச்சு நூறு மீட்டர் ஓடி போயிடு
முன்னால பிராப்ளம் ஆணைன்னா
நாளைக்கு பாக்கலாம்ன்னு தாண்டி போயிரு
பாரம் ஏறும்பொது மண்ட தாங்கிடாது
அது ஏற ஏற எறக்கி வெச்சிடு
என்னாகுமோ காவலை உனக்கு வேணா
ரெண்டில் ஒன்னு பார்க்க துணிஞ்சிடு.....துணிஞ்சிடு
Hey, if anyone tries to give you unsolicited philosophy,
Escape and run a hundred meters away!
If a problem stands right in front of you,
Say 'let us see tomorrow' and skip past it!
When the burden grows, your head cannot bear it,
As it keeps piling up, unburden and set it down!
Don't worry about 'what will happen',
Be bold enough to take a stand and face whatever comes!
கஷ்டம் முன்ன வந்தா வந்தா
டிஷ்யும் இந்தா இந்தா
ஏ வாட்டம் லைட்டா வந்தா வந்தா
ஆட்டம் வெயிட்டா இந்தா
If trouble comes in front of you,
Here, take a punch!
Hey, if boredom lightly comes along,
Make your dance moves heavy!
மார்ஸ் ஐ வில் சீன் சூன்....
Mars, see you soon..
