Sweat in fear
Upon seeing you
உயிா் என்று உன்னை நானே
ஒரு நாளும் சொல்ல மாட்டேன்
உயிா் என்றால் என்றோ ஓா் நாள்
பிாிவாயே…
There is no one like you

And forests, even if I
Cross past them all
Your memories will continue

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic track celebrates an unbreakable bond and invincible spirit, comparing the dynamic duo to the cosmic unison of Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakthi. It encourages living with absolute freedom like wind unhindered by fences and taking failures lightheartedly by simply clapping empty hands and continuing to celebrate.
