காலத்தை மிரட்டி
வா உன்னுள்ளம் திரட்டி வா
உள்ளத்தின் வழியிலுள்ள
கல்லை அசை
Come, threatening time itself
Come, gathering your courage and heart
Move the stone that lies
In the path of your inner heart
உன்னை நீ உணா்ந்துபாா்
நெஞ்சுக்குள் திறந்துபாா் உள்ளுக்குள்
உயிா்க்கும் ஒரு மாய விசை
Realize and look inside yourself
Open your chest and look within
Breathing life inside you
Is a magical force
மாய விசை
மாய விசை ஓ..
மாய விசை
மாய விசை ஓ..
Magical force
Magical force… oh..
Magical force
Magical force… oh..
.................................
அலையும் ஆசைகள்
கரையை சோ்ந்தது விகழ்ந்ததே
இல்லை ஒன்றுபாடு
Wandering desires
Have reached the shore
It never failed at all
Sing as one
வரையறை எல்லைகளை
வரைந்தது அட நீ திசை உனை
செலுத்தட்டும் சென்றுவிடு
Defining boundaries
Were drawn by you, hey!
Let direction guide you
Go forth..
மாய விசை எங்கோ
கூட்டிப்போகும் ஓ மாய விசை
என்னைத் தூக்கிப்போகும் ஓ

உன் உயரம்
உன்னைவிட உயரமே
சென்றடையும் வரை
உழை தினமுமே
Your true potential height
Is higher than you think
Until you reach the goal
Work hard every single day
நீ வலியில் நடப்பது
தடயமே விட்டு விலகும்
நொடி சிறு மரணமே
Walking through the pain you feel
Is your trace of proof
The moment you step away and give up
Is a minor death
தயங்கிடத் தயங்கு
முன்வந்து இறங்கு புயலென
இயங்கு ஓ ஓ……..
Hesitate to hesitate
Step forward and dive right in
Act fast like a storm
Oh oo..
இறுதிச்சுற்று வரை
இதயம் உலுக்கிவை உன்னைத்
தூக்கி விண்வெளியில் வீசிவிடும்
Until the final round
Keep your heart pounding strong
Lifting you up
Throwing you into outer space
மாய விசை எங்கோ
கூட்டிப்போகும் ஓ மாய விசை
என்னைத் தூக்கிப்போகும் ஓ
மாய விசை எங்கோ
கூட்டிப்போகும் ஓ
மாய விசை ஓ
