| Pazhakki viduthae | Making them second nature |

பாரேன் பாரேன்
ரெண்டு பறவை போகுதே
பாதை வேற
இருந்தும் பறக்குது கூடவே
Look, look
Two birds are flying away
Even though their paths are different
They are flying together
வழியெல்லாம் தோட்டம்
வாசனைய ரசிக்க மறக்காதே
பயணமே பாடும்
புதுமைகள போகுற போக்கில்
பழக்கி விடுதே
Gardens all along the way
Do not forget to enjoy the fragrance
The journey itself sings
It familiarizes novelties as we go along
Making them second nature
பாரேன் பாரேன்
ரெண்டு பறவை போகுதே.....ஏ....ஏ.....
பாதை வேற
இருந்தும் பறக்குது கூடவே
Look, look
Two birds are flying away...
Even though their paths are different
They are flying together
வழியெல்லாம் தோட்டம்
வாசனைய ரசிக்க மறக்காதே
பயணமே பாடும்
புதுமைகள போகுற போக்கில்
பழக்கி விடுதே
Gardens all along the way
Do not forget to enjoy the fragrance
The journey itself sings
It familiarizes novelties as we go along
Making them second nature
பறக்கதான் ஆசை படும்
மனசுக்கு
பயணம்தான் சிறகுடா
சிரிக்கதான் சில்லறை எதுக்கு
வழி போக்கனாகையிலே
ஒலகம் சுருங்குது
To the heart that longs to fly
To the mind
Journey itself is the wings, my friend
Why do you need small change/money just to laugh?

Look, look
Two birds are flying away
Even though their paths are different
They are flying together
கதை கதையா கேட்டாலும்
கண் கூடா பாத்தாலும்
பயணத்து இன்பம் சொன்னா புரியாததே
பொடி நடையா சில நேரம்
ஊர்தியில பல நேரம்
நெடுஞ்சால பேசும் பாஷை புதிராகுதே....ஓ....
Even if you hear story after story
Even if you witness it with your own eyes
The joy of travel cannot be understood merely by telling
Walking on foot at times
Riding on vehicles many times
The language spoken by the highway becomes a puzzle..oh
தெரியும் வரை வானம்
தேடும் வரை ஞானம்
தெரியும் வரை நீளும்
அனுபவம் கூடும்
கூடையில் மயக்கம்தான் தீரும்
கொழந்தையா மாறும்
மாற்றங்கள தேடி தேடி
பாடி தொலையும் மனம்
Until known, it is as vast as the sky
Until searched, it is wisdom
Until wandering, it stretches on
Experience grows greater
The dizziness clears up in the journey
It turns into a innocent child
Searching continuously for changes
The mind loses itself in singing
