The colors in the rainbow
Seven are not enough
To experience life
The sky seen from a window is not enough
பாப் மியூசிக் வந்தாச்சே

பண்பாட்டு வாழ்வுக்குள்
சிறகின்றி வாழாதே
Pop music has arrived
That alone is not enough
In a life of cultural values
Do not live without wings

பரதத்தை தேடாதே
Between man and woman
Do not draw a boundary line
In a disco dance
Do not look for Bharatanatyam
