நாட்கள் நகர்ந்து
வருடங்கள் கடக்கும் நம்
வாழ்க்கை பாதையில்
இன்றென்றும் நிழலை
போலே தொடரும் நம்
நட்பின் பெருமைகள்
As days move forward
And years pass by
In our path of life
It will follow forever like a shadow
The glory of our friendship
கண் சிமிட்டி ஒரு
ஓர பார்வை பார்க்கும் அந்த
விண்மீன் கூட்டம் கதை
கதையாய் சொல்லும் அதன்
காலம் முடியும் வரை
Winking an
Ogle glance
That cluster of stars
Will tell stories upon stories
Until its time comes to an end
சிறு பிள்ளை
சண்டையாய் சில சமயம்
சிலிர்க்கிறோம் அன்பு என்னும்
கவசத்தால் காத்து கொண்டோம்
நம் நட்பை
Like small childish fights
Sometimes we get thrilled
With the armor called love
We protected our friendship
ஒரே பிரசவத்தில்
எண்ணற்ற மலர்களை தந்த
இந்த கல்லூரி தாயை நினைத்தாலே
இனிக்கும் நினைத்தாலே இனிக்கும்
நினைத்தாலே இனிக்கும்
நினைத்தாலே இனிக்கும்
In a single birth, countless
Flowers were given by
This college mother
It is sweet to think about
It is sweet to think about
It is sweet to think about
It is sweet to think about
நினைத்தாலே இனிக்கும்
நம் நட்பின் தூரம் அந்த
அடி வானம் செல்லும் நம் நட்பின்
தூரம் அந்த அடி வானம் செல்லும்
It is sweet to think about
Male: The distance of our friendship
Will extend up to that horizon
The distance of our friendship
Will extend up to that horizon
Natkal nagarnthu
As days move forward
Varundangal kadakkum
And years pass by
Nam vaazhkai paadhaiyil
In our path of life
Indrendrum nizhalai polae thodarum
It will follow forever like a shadow
Nam natpin perumaigal
The glory of our friendship
Kan simitti oru
Winking an
Ora parvai parkum
Ogle glance
Andha vinmeen kuttam
That cluster of stars
Kadhai kadhaiyaai sollum
Will tell stories upon stories
Adhan kaalam mudiyum varai
Until its time comes to an end
Siru pillai sandayaai
Like small childish fights
Sila samayam silirkirom
Sometimes we get thrilled
Anbu ennum kavasathaal
With the armor called love
Kaathu kondom nam natpai
We protected our friendship
Orae pirasavathil yennatra
In a single birth, countless
Malargalai thandha
Flowers were given by
Indha kalloori thaayai
This college mother
