உன் வாழ்க்கை
உன் பரிசாக என் செய்வாய்
நீ உனக்காக தான் நினைத்ததும்
விதைத்ததும் உனக்கு தான்
பலித்திடும் ஜெய்த்திடும்
உனக்கு தான் தூரங்கள்
கடப்பதும் உனக்கு தான்
இந்த வாய்ப்பினை நழுவ
விடாதே
Your life is yours...
As a gift
Why would you do it...
It is only for you
What you thought and what you sowed
Is only for you
Will bear fruit and succeed
Is only for you
Crossing distances
Is only for you
Do not let this opportunity slip away

Life is a gift
Cherish it
It’s on the way
Wait for it
உடைமைகள் உன்னை
விட்டு அகலலாம் உணர்வுகள்
உன்னை விட்டு பிரியுமா
கனவுகள் விழித்தாலும்
மறையலாம் உறங்கும்
பொழுதும் உன் இலட்சியங்கள்
உறையுமா உன்னால் முடியும்
அந்த உண்மை உனக்கு தெரியுமா
Possessions may depart from you
Will emotions ever separate from you?
Dreams may fade even when awake
Even while sleeping
Will your ambitions freeze?
You can achieve it
Do you know that truth?
உன் நரம்புகள்
தளர்ந்திடும் காலமே
வந்தாலும் எந்நாளும்
நம்பிக்கை உன் நெஞ்சில்
வாழும் உன் வாழ்க்கை
உன் கையில் பரிசாக
Even if a time comes
When your nerves grow weak
Hope will always live in your heart
Your life is in your hands as a gift
உன் வாழ்க்கை உன்
பரிசாக என் செய்வாய் நீ
உனக்காக தான் நினைத்ததும்
விதைத்ததும் உனக்கு தான்
பலித்திடும் ஜெய்த்திடும்
உனக்கு தான் தூரங்கள்
கடப்பதும் உனக்கு தான்
இந்த வாய்ப்பினை நழுவ
விடாதே
