| Male | |
| Naam indru naan aanadhae | How 'we' has turned into 'I' today |
| Idhu enna maatramo | What kind of change is this? |
| En nizhal veeranadhae | My shadow has become a brave warrior |
| Idhu naalai maarumo | Will this change tomorrow? |
| Male | |
| Thodar ottam odum nerathil | In the middle of running a continuous race |
| Dhisai konjam maarudhae | The direction is shifting a little bit |
| Uyir sorndhu saayum velaiyil | At the moment when life grows weary and slumps down |
| Pudhu paadhai thondrudhae | A new path appears |
| Male | |
| Kadal neerilae… | In the ocean water... |
| Alai polavae… | Just like a wave... |
| Vizhunthaalumae… | Even if it falls... |
| Ezhunthaalumae… | Even if it rises... |
| Male | |
| Imai orathil… | At the corner of the eyelid... |
| Thuli polavae… | Just like a drop... |
| Maraithaalumae… | Even if you hide it... |
| Vazhinthodumae… | It will flow down... |
நாம் இன்று நான் ஆனதே
இது என்ன மாற்றமோ
என் நிழல் வேறானதே
இது நாளை மாறுமோ
How 'we' has turned into 'I' today
What kind of change is this?
My shadow has become a brave warrior
Will this change tomorrow?
தொடர் ஓட்டம் ஓடும் நேரத்தில்
திசை கொஞ்சம் மாறுதே
உயிர் சோர்ந்து சாயும் வேளையில்
புது பாதை தோன்றுதே.....
In the middle of running a continuous race
The direction is shifting a little bit
At the moment when life grows weary and slumps down
A new path appears
கடல் நீரிலே......
அலை போலவே....ஏ....
விழுந்தாலுமே....ஏ...
எழுந்தாளுமே....ஏ....
In the ocean water...
Just like a wave...
Even if it falls...
Even if it rises...
இமை ஓரத்தில்....
துளி போலவே.....ஏ....
மறைத்தாளுமே.....ஏ...
வழிந்தோடுமே....ஏ....
At the corner of the eyelid...
Just like a drop...
Even if you hide it...
It will flow down...
Naam indru naan aanadhae
How 'we' has turned into 'I' today
Idhu enna maatramo
What kind of change is this?
En nizhal veeranadhae
My shadow has become a brave warrior
Idhu naalai maarumo
Will this change tomorrow?
Thodar ottam odum nerathil
In the middle of running a continuous race
Dhisai konjam maarudhae
The direction is shifting a little bit
Uyir sorndhu saayum velaiyil
At the moment when life grows weary and slumps down
Pudhu paadhai thondrudhae
A new path appears
Kadal neerilae…
In the ocean water...
Alai polavae…
Just like a wave...
Vizhunthaalumae…
Even if it falls...
Ezhunthaalumae…
Even if it rises...
Imai orathil…
At the corner of the eyelid...
Thuli polavae…
Just like a drop...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This introspective song explores themes of personal transformation, loneliness, and emotional resilience. The speaker reflects on how a collective 'we' has disintegrated into an isolated 'I', forcing them to become strong and self-reliant. As life's journey takes unexpected detours and brings fatigue, new opportunities and directions unexpectedly open up. The imagery of ocean waves endlessly falling and rising, and tears that inevitably trickle down despite attempts to conceal them, symbolizes the unstoppable flow of time, sorrow, and human perseverance.
