நட்பின் கதைகளை நீங்களும்
கொஞ்சம் கேளுங்க
நாங்க ஆடுன கூத்துக்கு
பஞ்சமில்லைங்க
Listen a bit to the stories of friendship
Please listen to them too
There is no shortage of fun and drama
In the shenanigans we pulled off
About what the town thinks of us
We never worried at all
Like Buddha or Gandhi
We didn't live saintly lives either
ஊரப்பத்தித்தான் எப்பவும்
கவலை இல்லைங்க
புத்தன் காந்தியாய்
நாங்களும் வாழவில்லைங்க
Today, I looked at her
Like an ancient traditional Tamil girl
Thinking about the changes brought by time
I laughed to myself today
இன்றுதான் இவளை தான்
பண்டைக்கால தமிழ்
பெண்ணாய் பார்த்தேன்
காலத்தின் மாற்றத்தை
எண்ணி எண்ணி
நானே இன்று சிரித்தேன்
The stories of what happened
Please listen to them too
There is no shortage of fun and drama
In the shenanigans we pulled off
நடந்தக்கதைகளை நீங்களும்
கொஞ்சம் கேளுங்க
நாங்க ஆடுன கூத்துக்கு
பஞ்சமில்லைங்க
So that someone would fall in love with her
I made phone calls acting as a messenger
When she drank alcohol on a bet
That was the day I truly got scared
யாரும் இவளை
காதல்செய்ய தூதனாய்
ஃபோன்கள் செய்தேனே
She looked like a innocent good girl on the outside
As she appeared to others
Three days a week we
Would present ourselves at the movie theatre
பெட்டுக்கட்டி தண்ணியடிச்ச
அன்றுதான் பயந்துப்போனேனே
நல்லப்பிள்ளை போல்தான்
வெளியில் தெரிஞ்சாளே
வாரம் மூன்று
நாட்கள் நாங்கள்
தியேட்டரில் ஆஜரானோமே
There are endless incidents like these
இது போல ஏறாலம்தான்
The stories of what happened
Please listen to them too
There is no shortage of fun and drama
In the shenanigans we pulled off
About what the town thinks of us
We never worried at all
Like Buddha or Gandhi
We didn't live saintly lives either
நடந்தக்கதைகளை நீங்களும்
கொஞ்சம் கேளுங்க
நாங்க ஆடுன கூத்துக்கு
பஞ்சமில்லைங்க
Today, I looked at her
Like an ancient traditional Tamil girl
Thinking about the changes brought by time
I laughed to myself today
ஊரப்பத்தித்தான் எப்பவும்
கவலை இல்லைங்க
புத்தன் காந்தியாய்
நாங்களும் வாழவில்லைங்க
The stories of what happened
Please listen to them too
There is no shortage of fun and drama
In the shenanigans we pulled off
இன்றுதான் இவளைதான்

காலத்தின் மாற்றத்தை
எண்ணி எண்ணி
நானே இன்று சிரித்தேன்
Neither I gave up on you nor did you give up on me
We never let each other down
Until this day, the word separation
Has never even crossed our mind
நடந்தக்கதைகளை நீங்களும்
கொஞ்சம் கேளுங்க
நாங்க ஆடுன கூத்துக்கு
பஞ்சமில்லைங்க
The stories of what happened
Please listen to them too
There is no shortage of fun and drama
In the shenanigans we pulled off
About what the town thinks of us
We never worried at all
Like Buddha or Gandhi
We didn't live saintly lives either
உன்னை நானும் என்னை நீயும்
விட்டுத்தான் கொடுத்ததில்லையே
இன்றுவரையில் பிரிவு
என்ற வார்த்தைதான்
நினைவில் இல்லையே
Today, I looked at her
Like an ancient traditional Tamil girl
Thinking about the changes brought by time
I laughed to myself today
ஆண்கள் :
நட்பைத்தவிர நமக்குள்
ஒன்றுமில்லதானே
உன்னைப் பெண்ணாய்
என்னை ஆணாய்
நாமும் தான் பார்த்ததில்லையே
நாமென்றும் வேறில்லையே
The stories of what happened
Please listen to them too
There is no shortage of fun and drama
In the shenanigans we pulled off
நடந்தக்கதைகளை நீங்களும்
கொஞ்சம் கேளுங்க
நாங்க ஆடுன கூத்துக்கு
பஞ்சமில்லைங்க
ஊரப்பத்தித்தான் எப்பவும்
கவலை இல்லைங்க
புத்தன் காந்தியாய்
நாங்களும் வாழவில்லைங்க

Beyond the translation

The singer chuckles at how his friend, who used to be wild and reckless, now appears dressed up as a traditional Tamil woman, highlighting the humorous contrast that time brings while reinforcing that their bond remains indestructible.
