பறவையா பறக்குறோம்
காத்துல மிதக்குறோம்
போற வழியில பூவா சிரிக்கிறோம்
குழு :
சிரிக்கிறோம் சிரிக்கிறோம்
Thana... aaaa...
We fly like birds
We float in the wind
We smile like flowers along the path we go
Chorus: We smile, we smile
இந்த ஊரு உலக

This town and the world

Chorus: We consider so, we consider so
ஏ வீடு வாசல்
வீதி ஒன்னும் வேணா
ஏ காடு மேடு
கடலத் தாண்டி போவோம்
சூரியன் போல நாங்க சுழலுவோம்
சோகம் வந்தா குப்பையில வீசுவோம்
Hey, house and home
We don't need any streets
Hey, through forests and hills
We will cross the oceans and go
We will spin like the sun
If sorrow comes, we will throw it in the trash
பூமி பந்து மேல
ஒத்தையடி பாத போடுவோம்
அந்த வானவில் எங்களுக்கு ஜோடி
நிதம் வட்ட நிலா கூட சில்லு ஆடி
மேகம் ஏறி வெரசா நடப்போமே
அந்த மின்னல் கொடிய கயிறா திரிப்போமே
Upon the spherical Earth
We will carve a narrow foot-path
That rainbow is our partner
Playing hopscotch daily with the round moon
We will climb the clouds and walk swiftly
We will twist that streak of lightning into a rope
பறவையா பறக்குறோம்
காத்துல மிதக்குறோம்...ஹே...
We fly like birds
We float in the wind... hey
ஏ ஆடு மாடு
கோழி எங்க கூட்டு
அத போல வாழ
தேவையில்ல நோட்டு
கண்டத வாங்கி சேர்க்க நினைக்கல
ஒரு தந்திரம் போட்டு ஊர கெடுக்கல
ஹே ஹே......
Hey, goats and cattle
And chickens are our company
To live like them
Money notes are not required
We don't think of hoarding everything we see
We don't ruin the town with deceptive tricks
Hey hey
நாளை என்ன ஆகும்
எண்ணி வாழ மாட்டோம்
இந்த சின்ன்ஞ்சிறு பிஞ்சிகளப் போல
நாங்க உள்ள வர துள்ளி விளையாட
காலம்பூரா கவலை கிடையாது
ஹே ஹே............
What will happen tomorrow
We don't live worrying about it
Like these tiny little innocent children
For us to come inside and leap with joy to play
There is no worry for a lifetime...
Hey hey...
நாங்க போற பாதை
எதுவும் முடியாதே.......
The path we travel
Will never come to an end...
பறவையா பறக்குறோம்
காத்துல மிதக்குறோம்
We fly like birds
We float in the wind
Thaaanaa….aaaa…..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
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.
