ஓஹோ ..ஹோ
நாளைய பொழுது
நலம் ஆக வேண்டும்
இன்றைய கனவு
நிஜம் ஆக வேண்டும்
நாளைய பொழுது
நலம் ஆக வேண்டும்
இன்றைய கனவு
நிஜம் ஆக வேண்டும்
Oooo…hooo
May tomorrow's day
be peaceful and good
May today's dream
become a reality
May tomorrow's day
be peaceful and good
May today's dream
become a reality
நடப்பதை எல்லாம்
ஏற்றுக்கொள் மனமே
எண்ணம் போல்தான்
எல்லாம் நடக்கிறது
யாரின் கையில்
எதுவும் இங்கில்லை
உணரும் நெஞ்சுக்கு
உலகம் புரிகிறது
Whatever happens
accept it, oh my heart
Just as one thinks
everything happens
In nobody's hands
does anything truly lie here
To a mind that rambles
the world slowly becomes clear...
நல் இதயம் போதும் மனிதா..ஆஅ ..
இதை விடைவோர் வரமும் பெரிதா
நல் இதயம் போதும் மனிதா..ஹா ..ஆஅ ..
இதை விடைவோர் வரமும் பெரிதா
A good heart is enough, oh human
Is any boon greater than this?
A good heart is enough, oh human
Is any boon greater than this?
சின்ன சின்ன ஏக்கம்
அது எல்லாருக்கும் இருக்கு
சொல்ல சொல்ல போனால்
சில சோகம் கூட இனிக்கும்
யாருக்குள்ளே இல்லை
மனம் காயம் செய்யும் வலிகள்
இன்னும் சொல்ல போனால்
சில வலிகள் காட்டும் வழிகள்
Small, subtle longings
everyone has them
If you come to think of it
even some sorrows can feel sweet
Who does not carry a wound in their heart?
The pain it causes
Furthermore
some pains show us new paths
இந்த உலகம் என்னும் மேடையிலே
நம் இரவும் பகலும் ஆடயிலே
சில மனமும் உறவும் வேடங்களே
அவை சொல்லி தருவது பாடங்களே
On this stage called the world
where we wear day and night as costumes
some minds and relationships are merely disguises
and they teach us valuable lessons
நேரம் கூடி வந்தால்
எவன் நிலையும் இங்கே மாறும்
காலம் எங்கே போகும்
அது கையில் வந்து சேரும்
When the right time arrives
anyone's position here will change
Where will time go?
It will eventually come into your hands
நல் இதயம் போதும் மனிதா
இதை விடைவோர் வரமும் பெரிதா
நல் இதயம் போதும் மனிதா..ஆஅ ..
இதை விடைவோர் வரமும் பெரிதா
A good heart is enough, oh human
Is any boon greater than this?
A good heart is enough, oh human
Is any boon greater than this?
Oooo…hooo
Oooo…hooo

Chinna chinan yekkam
Small, subtle longings
Adhu ellarukkum irukkum
everyone has them
Solla solla ponaal
If you come to think of it
Sila sogam kuda inikkum
even some sorrows can feel sweet
Yarukullae illai mana kaayam
Who does not carry a wound in their heart?
Seiyum valigal
The pain it causes
Innum solla ponaal
Furthermore
Sila valigal kattum vazhigal
some pains show us new paths
Indha ualgam ennum medaiyilae
On this stage called the world
Naam iravum pagalum aadaiyilae
where we wear day and night as costumes
Sila manamum uravum vedangalae
some minds and relationships are merely disguises
Avai solli tharuvathu paadangalae
and they teach us valuable lessons
Neram koodi vanthaal
When the right time arrives
Evar nilaiyum ingae maarum
anyone's position here will change
Kaalam engae pogum
Where will time go?
Adhu kaiyil vandhu serum
It will eventually come into your hands
Nal idhayam podhum manidhaa
A good heart is enough, oh human
Idhai vida or varamum peridhaa
Is any boon greater than this?
Nal idhayam podhum manidhaa..aa…
A good heart is enough, oh human
Idhai vida or varamum peridhaa
Is any boon greater than this?
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This track is an uplifting, philosophical song about resilience, acceptance, and the ultimate value of human kindness. It encourages the listener to accept life's unpredictable flow, reminding us that no single individual controls destiny. Longings and sorrows are described as universal experiences that refine human character, teaching that even emotional pain can guide us toward the right path in life. Framed around the classic metaphor of the world as a stage where relationships act as transient roles, the song asserts that time brings change to everyone. Ultimately, it delivers a soulful message: having a good and kind heart is the greatest blessing a person can possess.
