புதுசா பெருசா
கனவா நான் காணுறேன்
பெருசா பெருசா
புயலா நான் மாறுறேன்
New and grand,
I am dreaming a dream.
Bigger and grander,
I am transforming into a storm.
ஓ கண்ணுரெண்ட கட்டிக்கிட்டு
திக்கு தெச தேடுனவ
முட்டக்கண்ண சுத்திக்கிட்டு தாவுறா
Oh, blindfolded across both eyes,
Searching for direction and path,
Rolling her wide eyes, she leaps forward!
வண்டி கட்டும் ஊருக்குள்ள
தண்டவாளம் செஞ்சு வச்சு
இன்க்கு ஊத்தி இஞ்சினையே ஓட்டுறா
In a village that hitches bullock carts,
Laying down train tracks,
She pours ink and drives the engine itself!
லே… லே… லே… லே…
பறக்குது காலே
லே… லே… லே… லே…

Lae… lae… lae… lae…
I am floating high above!
Lae… lae… lae… lae…
By the power of ink!
கனவா நிஜமா
கர சேர போகுறேன்
அழகா அழகா
நெலவா நா மாறுறேன்
Is it a dream or reality?
I am going to reach the shore.
Beautifully, beautifully,
I am turning into the moon.
கட்டி வச்ச காத்தாடிய
கட்டக்குள்ள நிக்காமலே
றெக்க விரிச்சாளே
இந்த கீச்சுதா
Like a tied-up kite,
Without staying restrained inside,
She spread her wings,
This little chick!
ஊரு போட்ட கோடு இப்ப
இன்க்கு பட்டு காணலயே
செக்கசெவந்தாச்சே
இவ வானந்தா
The boundary line drawn by the village,
Has vanished, touched by ink!
Turned crimson red,
Her sky!
லே… லே… லே… லே…
அதிருது ஊரே
லே… லே… லே… லே…

Lae… lae… lae… lae…
