இந்த இரவுதான்
போகுதே போகுதே
இழுத்துகட்ட கயிறு கொண்டு வா
நண்பனே நண்பனே
This very night
Is slipping away, slipping away
Bring a rope to tie it down and pull it back
Oh friend, my friend
இங்கேதான்
சொர்க்கம் நரகம் ரெண்டும் உள்ளதே
Right here
Both heaven and hell reside
ஆந்தை போலதான்
இரவிலே இரவிலே
கண்ணிரண்டை திறந்து வைக்கலாம்
நண்பனே நண்பனே
Just like an owl
In the night, in the night
We can keep both eyes wide open
Oh friend, my friend
இங்கேதான்
இன்பம் துன்பம் ரெண்டும் உள்ளதே
Right here
Both pleasure and pain reside
என்றென்றும் பகலிலே
ஏதேதோ வழியிலே
பொல்லாத ஞாபகத்தை
துரத்தி துரத்தி
கொன்று போடு இரவிலே
பொய்யான வாழ்விலே
மெய்யான இன்பம் இந்த போதையாலே
Always in the daytime
In some pain or another
Cruel bad memories
Chase them away, chase them away
Kill them off in the night
In this fake life
True pleasure lies in this intoxication
என்றென்றும் மனதிலே
ஏதேதோ கனவிலே
பொல்லாத ஆசையாவும்
துரத்தி துரத்தி
கொன்று போடு இரவிலே
பொய்யாக வாழும் வாழ்க்கை மேலே
மெய்யான இன்பம் இந்த போதையாலே
Always in the mind
In some dream or another
Wicked desire as well
Chase them away, chase them away
Kill them off in the night
Over a life lived in falsehood
True bliss lies in this intoxication
ஹேய் ஹேய் ஹோயேய்ய்
Hey hey eyyyyy...
இந்த இரவுதான்
பிடிக்குதே பிடிக்குதே
அர்த்த ஜாமம் அர்த்தம் உள்ளது
நண்பனே நண்பனே
This night itself
I love it, I love it
Midnight has deep meaning
Oh friend, my friend
இங்கேதான் சத்தம் அமைதி
ரெண்டும் உள்ளதே
Right here, noise and silence
Both exist together
இன்னும் இன்பம்தான்
இருக்குதே இருக்குதே
ஒற்றை இரவில் யாவும் தீருமோ
நண்பனே நண்பனே
Still more joy
Is there, is there
Will everything end in a single night?
Oh friend, my friend
என்றாலும் கோடி இரவு
எதிரில் உள்ளதே
என்றென்றும் பகலிலே
ஏதேதோ வழியிலே
பொல்லாத ஞாபகத்தை
துரத்தி துரத்தி
கொன்று போடு இரவிலே
பொய்யான வாழ்விலே
மெய்யான இன்பம் இந்த போதையாலே
Even so, a crore nights
Lie ahead before us
ஹேய் ஹேய் ஹோயேய்ய்
Always in the daytime
In some pain or another
Cruel bad memories
Chase them away, chase them away
Kill them off in the night
In this fake life
True pleasure lies in this intoxication

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This dark and energetic nightclub song from Eesan explores the themes of nightlife, hedonism, intoxication, and escaping real-world troubles. The narrator urges his friend to embrace the night, stay awake like an owl, and drown out daytime sorrows, bad memories, and false pretensions in the ecstasy of high spirits. The lyrics portray night as a equalizer where polar opposites—heaven and hell, sound and silence, joy and pain—coexist simultaneously. It serves as a philosophical yet edgy ode to urban nocturnal culture where temporary oblivion offers a sense of true bliss over a superficial daily reality.
