Thaaanaa….aaaa…..
Paravaiyaa parakkurom
Kaathula midhakkurom
Pora vazhiyila poovaa sirikkirom
Chorus :Sirikkirom sirikkirom
Intha ooru ulaga
Uravaa ninaikkirom
Chorus :Ninaikkirom ninaikkirom
Hey veedu vaasal
Veedhi onnum venaa
Hey kaadu meadu
Kadala thaandi povom
Sooriyan pola naanga suzhaluvom
Sogam vandhaa kuppaiyila veesuvom
Boomi pandhu mela
Oththaiyadi paadha poduvom
Antha vaanavil engalukku jodi
Nidham vatta nilaa kooda sillu aadi
Megam yeri verasaa nadappomae
Andha minnal kodiya kayiraa thirippomae
Paravaiyaa parakkurom
Kaathula midhakkurom …hey
Hey aadu maadu
Kozhi enga koottu
Adha pola vaazha
Thevaiyilla nottu
Kandadha vaangi serkka ninaikkala
Oru thandhiram pottu oora kedukkala
Hey hey
Naalai enna aagum
Enni vaazha maattom
Indha sinnanjiru pinjigala pola
Naanga ulla vara thulli vilaiyada
Kaalambooraa kavalai kidaiyaadhu…
Hey hey…
Naanga pora paadhai
Yedhuvum mudiyaadhae……
Paravaiyaa parakkurom
Kaathula midhakkurom
On our own... ah...
We fly like birds,
we float on the breeze.
Along our way, we smile like flowers.
Chorus: We smile, we smile.
This town and the whole world,
we consider our family.
Chorus: We consider them family.
Hey, a house, a doorstep,
or a street—we need none of it.
Hey, over forests and hills,
and across the oceans, we will go.
Like the sun, we will circle the world.
If sorrow comes, we toss it in the trash.
Over this round ball of earth,
we will make our own footpath.
That rainbow is a companion to us,
playing hopscotch with the round moon every day.
We step on the clouds and walk swiftly,
and twist that streak of lightning into a rope.
We fly like birds,
we float on the breeze... hey!
Hey, goats and cattle,
and chickens are our flock,
and to live like them,
there is no need for money notes.
We never wish to buy and hoard random things,
nor do we play tricks to ruin the people around.
Hey hey,
Whatever may happen tomorrow,
we won't live our lives worrying.
Just like tiny, innocent children,
as we leap and play from deep within our hearts,
we have no worries for a lifetime...
Hey hey...
The path we travel on
will never ever end...
We fly like birds,
we float on the breeze.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Paravaiyaa Parakkurom from the film Kayal (2014) is an uplifting anthem celebrating absolute freedom, nomadism, and detachment from material possessions. Written by Yugabharathi and composed by D. Imman, the lyrics embody the joyful mindset of travelers who view the entire world as their family and nature as their playground. The protagonists live entirely in the present moment, unburdened by societal expectations, wealth, or anxiety about tomorrow. The song uses vivid imagery of the natural world—rainbows, clouds, lightning, the moon, and animals—to illustrate a life of whimsical innocence and boundless exploration. By treating grief as something disposable and viewing the open road as endless, the track serves as a philosophical ode to living freely and maintaining child-like optimism regardless of circumstances.
