Truth has turned into a lie,
What am I to do?
Fate has become the absolute reality,
Where am I to go?
Without asking for anything in return while present,
She poured and gave love generously,
What am I to do all alone?
She left without even saying goodbye.
நிஜமே பொய்யா ஆனதே
என்ன செய்ய
விதியே மெய்யா போனதே
எங்கு செல்ல
இருக்கும் போது கேட்காம
அன்ப அள்ளி கொடுத்திட்டா
என்ன செய்ய தனியா நான்
சொல்லாம தான் போயிட்ட
Oh mind, be comforted,
Who is permanent here?
Oh mind, be comforted,
Who is permanent here?
Haaa... aaa.. aaa.. aa
மனமே ஆறு
நிரந்திரம் இங்கு யாரு
மனமே ஆறு
நிரந்திரம் இங்கு யாரு
ஹா ...ஆ....ஆஅ....ஆ...
When you fall down,
This world
Will move far away and distance itself.
Once you rise up on your own,
It will change its tone and speak differently,
The crowd will shift its stance step by step.
கீழ விழுந்ததும்
இந்த உலகம்
ஒதுஙகி போகுமே தூரம்
தானாய் எழுந்ததும்
மாற்றி பேசும்
கூட்டமே படி மாறும்
We arrive as tiny drops,
We grow like strong pillars,
We live as companions,
We disappear into dust particles.
Haaa... aaa.. aaa.. aa
துளியாய் வருகின்றோம்
தூணாய் வளர்கின்றோம்
துணையாய் வாழ்கின்றோம்
துகளாய் மறைகின்றோம்
ஹா ..ஆஅ..ஆஅ..ஆஅ
Oh mind, be comforted,
Who is permanent here?
Oh mind, live on,
There are hundreds of paths here.
மனமே ஆறு
நிரந்திரம் இங்கு யாரு
மனமே வாழு
வழி இங்கு பல நூறு
Truth has turned into a lie,
What am I to do?
Fate has become the absolute reality,
Where am I to go?
Without asking for anything in return while present,
She poured and gave love generously,
What am I to do all alone?
She left without even saying goodbye.

She poured and gave love generously,
Enna seiya thaniyaa naan
What am I to do all alone?
Sollaama thaan poyitta
She left without even saying goodbye.
