Pudhiya ulagai pudhiya ulagai

Thedi pogiren ennai vidu

Vizhiyin thuliyil ninaivai karaithu

Odi pogiren ennai vidu

Pirivil thodangi poothathai

Pirivil mudinthu pogiren

Meendum naan meela pogiren

Dhooramaai vaazha pogiren

Pudhiya ulagai pudhiya ulagai

Thedi pogiren ennai vidu

Vizhiyin thuliyil ninaivai karaithu

Odi pogiren ennai vidu

Maarbil keerinaai

Ranangalai varangal aakinaai

Tholil yerinaai

Enai innum uyaram aakinaai

Un vizhi pola mannil engum

Azhagu illai endren

Un vizhi inghu kanneer sintha

Vilagi enghae sendren

Melae nindru unnai naalum

Pudhiya ulagai pudhiya ulagai

Thedi pogiren ennai vidu

Pudhiya ulagai pudhiya ulagai

Thedi pogiren ennai vidu

A new world, a new world,

I go in search of, let me go.

Dissolving memories in my tears,

I am running away, let me go.

What began and blossomed in separation,

I am ending in separation as I leave.

I will recover and heal once more,

I am going to live far away.

A new world, a new world,

I go in search of, let me go.

Dissolving memories in my tears,

I am running away, let me go.

You scratched my chest,

and turned those wounds into blessings.

You climbed onto my shoulders,

and made me stand even taller.

I once said nowhere on earth

is there beauty like your eyes.

With those eyes shedding tears here,

where have I gone, walking away?

With the longing to stand above

and look upon you every day,

a new world, a new world,

I go in search of, let me go.

In places untouched by anyone,

you reached deep into my heart.

A smile no one had ever seen,

you painted upon my lips.

I once said nowhere in the sky

is there peace like your heart.

Saying I do not want that heart today,

where have I flown away to?

Will another sky, another life,

truly welcome me?

A new world, a new world,

I go in search of, let me go.

What began and blossomed in separation,

I am ending in separation as I leave.

I will recover and heal once more,

I am going to live far away.

A new world, a new world,

I go in search of, let me go.
