| Maruthaalumae manam yerkkuma | Even if denied, will the heart accept it? |
| Sarinthaalumae vidhi maarumaa | Even if everything collapses, will fate change? |
| Naettrin siru meedhamae | A small remnant of yesterday, |
| Oru saedhamaai unai soozhndhu | Surrounding you like a loss, |
| Vaeli aanaalum | Even if it acts as a barrier, |
| Poru unakkenavae unakkaenave | Be patient; for you alone, just for you, |
| Vazhi pirakkum oliyae | A light will emerge opening up a path. |

மறுத்தாலுமே மனம் ஏற்குமா
சரிந்தாலுமே விதி மாறுமா
நேற்றின் சிறு மீதமே
ஒரு சேதமாய் உனை சூழ்ந்து
வேலி ஆனாலும்
பொறு உனக்கெனவே உனக்கெனவே
வழி பிறக்கும் ஒளியே
Even if denied, will the heart accept it?
Even if everything collapses, will fate change?
A small remnant of yesterday,
Surrounding you like a loss,
Even if it acts as a barrier,
Be patient; for you alone, just for you,
A light will emerge opening up a path.
நதியே ஓ நதியே
உன் ஓடம் கரை சேறும் மெதுவாய்
ஒளியே நீ ஒளியே
உன் வெளிச்சம் கண்டாளே வீடேவா
Oh river, oh river!
Your boat will slowly reach the shore.
Oh light, you are the light!
Seeing your brightness itself brings a new dawn.
உனக்கும் நீ இல்லாமலே
உனை நீங்கி செல்லாமலே
நிகழும் நொடி கடந்திட
மறுபடி காலம் பின் நீளும்
Hoo oo oo
Without revealing the pain of the burden,
The mind scatters every single day.
An answer will be found very soon.
Do not lose heart, joy...
Darkness will fade away.
Dawn will surely arrive.
Transformation will take place.
Anew, you...
Will be reborn step by step.
Oh light that opens up a path...
ஹூ ஓ ஓ
சுமையின் வலி சொல்லாமலே
சிதறும் மனம் எந்நாளுமே
வெகு விரைவில் விடை கிடைக்கும்
தளராதே இன்பம்
இருள் விலகி போகுமே
விடிந்தாகுமே
அரங்கேறும் மாற்றம்
புதிதாக நீ
படி படியாய் பிறந்திடுவாய்
வழி பிறக்கும் ஒளியே….
Oh river, oh river!
Your boat will slowly reach the shore.
Oh light, you are the light!
Seeing your brightness itself brings a new dawn.
நதியே ஓ நதியே
உன் ஓடம் கரை சேறும் மெதுவாய்
ஒளியே நீ ஒளியே
உன் வெளிச்சம் கண்டாளே வீடேவா
Play with the sunbeam!
Your fear will fade away.
Play with the sunbeam!
Your wounds will heal.
Play with the sunbeam!
Your search will come to an end.
Play with the sunbeam!
Your song will transcend silence.
Play with the sunbeam!
Your mirage will transform into real water.
Play with the sunbeam!
The horizon will scatter colors.
Play with the sunbeam!
The breeze will converse with your heart.
Play with the sunbeam!
Once again, the earth will rotate.
கதிரோடு விளையாடு
உன் அச்சம் விலகி போகும்
கதிரோடு விளையாடு
காயங்கள் ஆறி போகும்
கதிரோடு விளையாடு
உன் தேடல் நின்று போகும்
கதிரோடு விளையாடு
உன் பாடல் மௌனம் தாண்டும்
கதிரோடு விளையாடு
உன் காணல் புனலாய் மாறும்
கதிரோடு விளையாடு
தொடு வானம் வண்ணம் வீசும்
கதிரோடு விளையாடு
மனதோடு தென்றல் பேசும்
கதிரோடு விளையாடு
மறுபடியும் பூமி சுற்றம்
Oh river...
