சாலையில்
என் கால்கள் பயணத்தில்
என் கண்கள் சின்ன தடம்
வைத்து வா இன்னும்
கொஞ்சம் போவோம்
My feet are on the road
My eyes are on the journey
Leaving a small footprint
Come, let us go a little further
சாலையில்
என் கால்கள் பயணத்தில்
என் கண்கள் சின்ன தடம்
வைத்து வா இன்னும்
கொஞ்சம் போவோம்
My feet are on the road
My eyes are on the journey
Leaving a small footprint
Come, let us go a little further
முடியாதது
ஒன்றுமே இல்லையே
படி ஆக்கலாம் தடைகளின்
கல்லையே
Impossible
There is no such thing
We can transform into stepping stones
The very stones of obstacles
போராடலாம்
ஆம் போராடலாம்
போராடலாம் ஆம்
போராடலாம் ஆ
ஆம்
Let us persevere...
Let us persevere..
Let us persevere...
Let us persevere...
நம்பிக்கை
ஒன்று நெஞ்சுக்குள்
போதும் புயல் காற்று
கூட பூ ஆகிடும் வலி
இன்றி இங்கே வசந்தங்கள்
இல்லை படும் காயம்
எல்லாம் பரவா இல்லை
A single spark of faith
Is enough inside the heart
Even a stormy wind
Will turn into a gentle flower
Without pain here
There is no season of spring
Every wound endured
Does not matter...
முன்னேறினால்
முட்களாய் கீறுதே மூச்சு
என்பதே முயற்சியாய்
மாறுதே
As we press forward
Thorns may scratch us
The very breath we take
Turns into relentless effort...
போராடலாம்
ஆம் போராடலாம்
ஆம் போராடலாம்
ஆம் போராடலாம்
ஆ ஆ
Let us persevere...
Let us persevere...
Let us persevere...
Let us persevere...
உயிருக்குள்
உள்ள ஒரு வெப்பம்
போதும் உயிர் உள்ள
மட்டும் ஒளி வட்டமே
சிரமங்கள் எல்லாம்
சிறகாகி கொண்டால்
சிகரங்கள் வந்து முகம்
காட்டுமே ஹே ஹே
Inside the soul
A single warmth of determination is enough
As long as life remains
There will be a halo of light
All the hardships
If turned into wings
The mountain peaks
Will come and reveal themselves..
எது வேண்டுமோ
அதில் தினம் சிந்தனை
எளிதலாவே என்றுமே
சாதனை
Whatever goal is desired
Constant daily focus upon it
Is never simple
Achievement is never easy
போராடலாம்
ஆம் போராடலாம்
ஆம் போராடலாம்
ஓஹோ ஓ
போராடலாம் ஆ
Let us persevere...
Let us persevere...
Let us persevere...
Let us persevere...
