மனமே மனமே
எந்தன் சோகம் தான் தீருமா
மனமே மனமே
இந்த காலம் தான் மாறுமா
Oh mind, oh mind
Will my sorrow ever end?
Oh mind, oh mind
Will these times ever change?
தினந்தோறுமே போராட்டமா
இது எந்தன் விதி தானா
என் ஆண்டவன் என் சாமியே
அவன் செஞ்ச சதி தானா
இதை தாங்கும் சக்தி அவன் தருவானா
இல்லை மீண்டும் சோதிப்பானா
Is every single day a struggle?
Is this my fate?
My Lord, my God,
Is this a conspiracy done by Him?
Will He give me the strength to bear this?
Or will He test me once again?
Oh mind, oh mind
Will my sorrow ever end?

எந்தன் சோகம் தான் தீருமா
In the middle of the sea, seeking the shore
Like a wobbling boat
I suffer all alone
Will you turn into an oar for me?
Sleepless like the ocean waves
I must toil endlessly
Like a leaf in a stormy wind
I must survive without falling
We must reach the shore
கடல் நடுவே கரை சேரு
தள்ளாடும் ஓடமாய்
தவிக்கின்றேன் தனியாக
துடுப்பாய் நீ மாறுவாய்
அலை போலே உறங்காமல்
உழைத்தே தான் தீரணும்
இலை போலே புயல் காற்றில்
வீழாமல் வாழணும்
கரை நாம் சேரணும்
Oh mind, oh mind
Will my sorrow ever end?
Oh mind, oh mind
Will these times ever change?
