சட்டங்களை
கல்லில் வெட்டி வைத்தால்
நூறு ஆண்டை மாறாது
வேடிக்கை பார் பெண்ணே
என்று சொன்னால்
என் வாழ்க்கையோ கேட்காது....
The laws
Even if carved in stone
Will not remain unchanged for a hundred years
'Just watch as a spectator, woman'
If they say so
My life will not listen to it...
சொல்லே....
என்னாவேன் நீ இல்லாமல்
ஓர் நொடியிலே
எந்தன் பூமியே கீழ்மேலாய்....
O word... what will I become without you?
In a single second
The whole world turns upside down....
கல் ஒன்றாய் நானா.....
சொல் இன்றி நான் போவேனா....
உள் கோபம் கொண்டேன் தானா
நாவின்றி ஆவேனோ
சொல் பேச்சே.....பேச்சே
Am I a lifeless stone...
Will I go away without speaking a word?....
Did I rage inside myself?
Will I become speechless?
Speak up, my voice... speak....
திறக்காமல் உரைக்காமல்
போனால் ஓ அழிந்தன்றோ போவேன்
நாவின்றி ஆவேனோ.....சொல் பேச்சே
Without opening up and expressing
If I go, I will be destroyed
Will I become speechless? Speak up, my voice...
காலில்லாமல் என்னைச் செய்
விண்ணோடு ஏறும் பறவை நான்
இவள் சிறகை முறிக்காதே
அவ் வான்மேல் போகத் தானே நான்
இவை எல்லாம் மெய்தானா....ஊமை நானா
Make me without feet
I am a bird soaring into the sky
Do not clip her wings
I am meant to fly high into that sky
Is all this true? Am I mute?..
நான் உயிரில்லாமல்
சாம்பல் அன்றோ ஆவேன்....
நாவின்றி ஆவேனோ
சொல் பேச்சே.....பேச்சே
Without life in me
Will I not turn into ashes?....
Will I become speechless?
Speak up, my voice... speak....
நான் கேட்பேன்
வருகின்ற சாவைக் கேட்பேன்
ஒரு வார்த்தை சொல்லப் பார்ப்பேன்
நாவின்றி ஆவேனோ சொல் பேச்சே
நாவின்றி ஆவேனோ
சொல் பேச்சே....பேச்சே......
I will question
I will question even approaching death
I will strive to speak a single word
Will I become speechless? Speak up, my voice..
Will I become speechless?
Speak up, my voice... speak...

The lyrics express Princess Jasmine's intense inner resolve and refusal to be silenced by outdated rules, patriarchal traditions, or societal expectations. She rejects the idea that women should merely remain passive spectators in their own lives.
