நொடிகளே ஓ நொடிகளே…
கிடைக்குமா புது புது விடைகளே…
துளிகளே மணி துளிகளே
திறக்குமா புது வழிகளே…
Oh moments, oh seconds...
Will new answers be found?...
Oh drops of time, oh precious minutes
Will new paths open up?...
கடிகார முள் என்றும்
திரும்பாமல் தான் ஓடும்
நினைவோடு நிகழ் காலம்
நெருப்பாகிதான் வாடும்
The hand of the clock
Only runs forward without turning back
Along with memories, the present time
Burns like fire and wilts away
எல்லாமே சில காலம்
கடந்தோடி போகும்
உடைந்தாலும் உள் நெஞ்சம்
உனக்காக வாழும்
Everything is only for a brief moment
It will pass by and run away
Even if the inner heart breaks
It will still live for you
நெடு வானம் தாண்டும் மேகம்தான்
இந்த உலகில் இல்லையே…
எதிர்காலம் வந்து ஆற்றாத
ஒரு காயம் இல்லையே..
அதற்குள்ளே வீழாதே….
A cloud that crosses
The vast sky
Does not remain forever in this world...
Is there any wound
That the coming future
Cannot heal?
Do not fall before then...
When You’re Down
I’ll Be Your Only
Golden Guiding Light
When You’re Lost
I’ll Be Your Only
Beacon By Your Side

போ என்றாலும்…
ஓ நேரந்தான் போகாதே
வா என்றாலும்
ஓ கடந்த நொடி
பின்னே வாராதே
Even if you ask time to leave...
Time itself will not stop or go away
Even if you call it back
Oh, the moment that has passed
Will never return behind you
போர்களம் பூவாசம் கானதே
நீ நட ஏமாறி போகாதே
தேடலும் ஓர்நாளில் தீராதே
தேடிவா தேங்கிட தேங்கிட கூடாதே
A battlefield will never smell of sweet flowers
Do not walk blindly and get deceived
The search will eventually end one day
Keep searching and moving, do not remain stagnant
When You’re Lost
I’ll Be Your Only
Beacon By Your Side
When You’re Down
