In millions and millions,

How many joys there are!

Scattered all around,

Everything is pure joy.

Resting upon the tip of grass,

Crowning it like a diamond,

Even a single drop of dew

Is supreme joy.

Touching your feet,

As if telling stories,

The river leaping by

Is pure joy.

Stretching out wide,

Offering gifts of shade,

What joy is like the trees?

Living in yesterday

Is always a heavy sorrow.

Come on, this day is enough,

Life is supreme joy!

Life

Is a celebration, isn't it?

Come, let us live

And experience it ourselves!

In millions and millions,

How many joys there are!

Scattered all around,

Everything is pure joy.

Resting upon the tip of grass,

Crowning it like a diamond,

Even a single drop of dew

Is supreme joy.

When you look

Through the eyes of love,

Even a trash bin

Becomes beautiful.

After an eggshell

Is broken,

For a little plant,

It becomes fertilizer.

Saying, 'Every town is our home,'

To follow the path of the one who said it

And be born is our greatest blessing.

If we truly sow love

Across the whole earth, all will be well.

When you climb a mountain,

Every curve along the way

Might frighten you a bit.

Come, if you step forward bravely,

The entire path

Will bloom with colorful flowers!

Life is a celebration,

Like the flowing current of a river!

In millions and millions,

How many joys there are!

Scattered all around,

Everything is pure joy.

Resting upon the tip of grass,

Crowning it like a diamond,

Even a single drop of dew

Is supreme joy.

Asking which town it belongs to

Before taking off,

No bird in the world

Ever flies.

Wondering which sea it will reach,

The rain never hesitates

To leap down to the ground.

Dwelling on yesterday's wound,

Thinking about its pain,

The sun never refuses

To rise in the sky tomorrow.

A traveler who steps out

Beyond his house

Never broods over the emptiness of his nest.

What is east?

What is west?

All directions are ours!

Come, what is joy?

And what is sorrow?

Everything becomes one!

Life is a celebration,

Like the flowing current of a river!

In millions and millions,

How many joys there are!

Scattered all around,

Everything is pure joy.

Resting upon the tip of grass,

Crowning it like a diamond,

Even a single drop of dew

Is supreme joy.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

'Kodi Kodiyaai' from the film Om (2018), penned by the legendary late lyricist Na. Muthu Kumar, is a deeply uplifting anthem celebrating existence and mindfulness. The song urges listeners to break free from past regrets and anxieties about the future, emphasizing that true happiness is found in appreciating the present moment. Through rich natural imagery—such as dew drops glistening like diamonds on grass blades, flowing rivers, free-flying birds, and the unconditionally rising sun—the lyrics illustrate how a shift in perspective filled with love can reveal beauty in the simplest and most unexpected places. The song pays homage to ancient Sangam Tamil philosophy, specifically Kaniyan Pungundranar's classic declaration 'Yaadhum Oore Yaavarum Kelir' (To us all towns are one, all people kin). By framing life as a flowing river and a continuous celebration, the track delivers a timeless message of unity, courage, resilience, and unconditional love.
