சிறகுகள் வீசி சுதந்திர
ஆசையில் போகிறேன் நான்
போகிறேன்
Flapping my wings,
With a yearning for freedom,
I am going… I am going.
உலகத்தின் ஓசையில்
புது ஒலி வீசிட போகிறேன் நான்
போகிறேன்
Amidst the noise of the world,
To radiate a brand new light,
I am going… I am going.
ஆசைகள் எல்லாம்
எனக்கென கொண்டு மீசைகள்
இல்லா கனவுகள் கண்டு
பொறுப்புகள் தேடி பயணங்கள்
இன்று செருப்புகளே என்
சிறகுகள் என்று
Carrying all the desires
As my very own,
Having dreams that are not bound
By male-dominated norms,
Seeking responsibilities,
Embarking on journeys today,
Declaring that my footwear
Are indeed my wings,
போகிறேன் நான் போகிறேன்
போகிறேன் நான் போகிறேன்
போகிறேன் நான் போகிறேன்
போகிறேன் நான் போகிறேன்
I am going… I am going.
I am going… I am going.
I am going… I am going.
I am going… I am going.
உலகம் சதுரம்
என்றே இருந்தேன்
சுவா்கள் என்று பின்பே
அறிந்தேன்
I used to believe
The world was just a square box,
Only later did I realize
That those were confining walls.
உலகின் விளிம்பை
உரசும் பயணம் போகிறேன்
என்னை நீங்கி எங்கோ பிாிந்தேன்
நானே இல்லா வாழ்வில் திாிந்தேன்
இன்றே முழுதாய் வாழும் முடிவில்
போகிறேன்
On a journey that brushes against
The very edge of the world,
I am going…
பகல் மூடிய இருளைத்
தேடி எாிப்பொருளாகிறேன்
ஒரே சூாியன் தீயில் ஜோதி
வளா்த்திட போகிறேன்
Detached from myself,
I was separated somewhere.
Without my true identity,
I wandered through life.
Today, with the total resolve
To live my life fully,
I am going….
போகிறேன் நான் போகிறேன்
போகிறேன் நான் போகிறேன்
Seeking the darkness
That eclipsed the daylight,
I turn into fuel,
To nurture the light
In the warmth of a single sun,
I am going…
சிறகுகள் வீசி சுதந்திர
ஆசையில் போகிறேன் நான்
போகிறேன் உலகத்தின் ஓசையில்
புது ஒலி வீசிட போகிறேன் போகிறேன்
I am going… I am going.
I am going… I am going.
Flapping my wings,
With a yearning for freedom,
I am going… I am going.
Amidst the noise of the world,
To radiate a brand new light,
I am going… I am going…
:Siragukal veesi
Flapping my wings,
Suthanthira aasaiyil
With a yearning for freedom,
Pogiren…naan pogiren
I am going… I am going.
Ulagathin osaiyil
Amidst the noise of the world,
Puthu oli veesida
To radiate a brand new light,
Pogiren…naan pogiren
I am going… I am going.
: Aasaigal ellam
Carrying all the desires
Enakenna kondu
As my very own,
Meesaigal illa
Having dreams that are not bound
Kanavugal kandu
By male-dominated norms,
Poruppugal thedi
Seeking responsibilities,
Payanagal indru
Embarking on journeys today,
Serupugalae enn
Declaring that my footwear
Siragukal endru
Are indeed my wings,
Pogiren…naan pogiren
I am going… I am going.
Pogiren…naan pogiren
I am going… I am going.
Pogiren…naan pogiren
I am going… I am going.
Pogiren…naan pogiren
I am going… I am going.
Ulagam sadhuram
I used to believe
Endrae irundhen
The world was just a square box,
Suvargal endru
Only later did I realize
Pinbae arinthen
That those were confining walls.
Ulagin vilumbai
On a journey that brushes against
Urassum payanam
The very edge of the world,
Pogiren…
I am going…
Ennai neengi
Detached from myself,
Engo pirinthen
I was separated somewhere.
Naanae illa
Without my true identity,
Vazhvil thirinthen
I wandered through life.
Indrae muzhuthai
Today, with the total resolve
Vazhum mudivil
To live my life fully,
Pogiren….
I am going….
Pagal moodiya
Seeking the darkness
Irullai thedi
That eclipsed the daylight,
Eriporul agiren
I turn into fuel,
Orae sooriyan theyil
To nurture the light
Jodhi valarthida
In the warmth of a single sun,
Pogiren…
I am going…
Pogiren…naan pogiren
I am going… I am going.
Pogiren…naan pogiren
I am going… I am going.
Siragukal veesi
Flapping my wings,
Suthanthira aasaiyil
With a yearning for freedom,
Pogiren…naan pogiren
I am going… I am going.
Ulagathin osaiyil
Amidst the noise of the world,
Puthu oli veesida
To radiate a brand new light,
Pogiren…pogiren…
I am going… I am going…
