புதிய உலகை
புதிய உலகை தேடி
போகிறேன் என்னை
விடு விழியின் துளியில்
நினைவை கரைத்து ஓடி
போகிறேன் என்னை விடு
A new world, a new world
I go in search of, leave me alone.
Dissolving memories in a drop of tear,
I am running away, leave me alone.
பிரிவில் தொடங்கி
பூத்ததை பிரிவில் முடிந்து
போகிறேன் மீண்டும் நான்
மீள போகிறேன் தூரமாய்
வாழ போகிறேன்
What blossomed beginning in separation,
I am ending in separation.
Once again, I am going to redeem myself,
I am going to live far away.
புதிய உலகை
புதிய உலகை தேடி
போகிறேன் என்னை
விடு விழியின் துளியில்
நினைவை கரைத்து ஓடி
போகிறேன் என்னை விடு
A new world, a new world
I go in search of, leave me alone.
Dissolving memories in a tear drop,
I am running away, leave me alone.
மார்பில் கீறினாய்
ரணங்களை வரங்களாக்கினாய்
தோளில் ஏறினாய் எனை
இன்னும் உயரமாக்கினாய்
You scratched my chest,
You turned those wounds into blessings.
You climbed onto my shoulders,
You made me reach even greater heights.
உன் விழி போல
மண்ணில் எங்கும் அழகு
இல்லை என்றேன் உன்
விழி இங்கு கண்ணீர் சிந்த
விலகி எங்கே சென்றேன்
மேலே நின்று உன்னை
நாளும் காணும் ஆசையில்
I said nowhere on earth is there beauty
Like that in your eyes.
With your eyes shedding tears here,
Where did I step away to?
Standing high above, wishing to watch you
Every single day...
புதிய உலகை
புதிய உலகை தேடி
போகிறேன் என்னை
விடு
A new world, a new world
I go in search of, leave me alone.
யாரும் தீண்டிட
இடங்களில் மனதை
தீண்டினாய் யாரும்
பார்த்திடா சிரிப்பை என்
இதழில் தீட்டினாய்
In places untouched by anyone,
You touched my heart.
Unseen by anyone,
You painted a smile on my lips.
உன் மனம் போல
விண்ணில் எங்கும் அமைதி
இல்லை என்றேன் உன் மனம்
இன்று வேண்டாம் என்றே
பறந்து எங்கே சென்றேன்
வேறோர் வானம் வேறோர்
வாழ்க்கை என்னை ஏற்குமா
I said nowhere in the sky is there peace
Like that in your heart.
Saying I don't want your heart today,
Where did I fly away to?
A different sky, a different life—
Will it accept me?
புதிய உலகை
புதிய உலகை தேடி
போகிறேன் என்னை
விடு
A new world, a new world
I go in search of, leave me alone.
பிரிவில் தொடங்கி
பூத்ததை பிரிவில் முடிந்து
போகிறேன் மீண்டும் நான்
மீள போகிறேன் தூரமாய்
வாழ போகிறேன்
What blossomed beginning in separation,
I am ending in separation.
Once again, I am going to redeem myself,
I am going to live far away.
புதிய உலகை
புதிய உலகை தேடி
போகிறேன் என்னை
விடு
A new world, a new world
I go in search of, leave me alone.
Pudhiya ulagai pudhiya ulagai
A new world, a new world
Thedi pogiren ennai vidu
I go in search of, leave me alone.
Vizhiyin thuliyil ninaivai karaithu
Dissolving memories in a drop of tear,
Odi pogiren ennai vidu
I am running away, leave me alone.
Pirivil thodangi poothathai
What blossomed beginning in separation,
Pirivil mudinthu pogiren
I am ending in separation.
Meendum naan meela pogiren
Once again, I am going to redeem myself,
Dhooramaai vaazha pogiren
I am going to live far away.
Pudhiya ulagai pudhiya ulagai
A new world, a new world
Thedi pogiren ennai vidu
I go in search of, leave me alone.
Vizhiyin thuliyil ninaivai karaithu
Dissolving memories in a tear drop,
Odi pogiren ennai vidu
I am running away, leave me alone.
Maarbil keerinaai
You scratched my chest,
Ranangalai varangal aakinaai
You turned those wounds into blessings.
Tholil yerinaai
You climbed onto my shoulders,
Enai innum uyaram aakinaai
You made me reach even greater heights.
Un vizhi pola mannil engum
I said nowhere on earth is there beauty
Azhagu illai endren
Like that in your eyes.
Un vizhi inghu kanneer sintha
With your eyes shedding tears here,
Vilagi enghae sendren
Where did I step away to?
Melae nindru unnai naalum
Standing high above, wishing to watch you
Kaanum aasaiyil
Every single day...
Pudhiya ulagai pudhiya ulagai
A new world, a new world
Thedi pogiren ennai vidu
I go in search of, leave me alone.
Yaarum theendida
In places untouched by anyone,
Idangalil manathai theendinaai
You touched my heart.
Yaarum paarthidaa
Unseen by anyone,
Sirippai en idhazhil theetinaai
You painted a smile on my lips.
Un manam pola vinnil engum
I said nowhere in the sky is there peace
Amaithi illai endren
Like that in your heart.
Un manam indru vendaam endrae
Saying I don't want your heart today,
Paranthu enghae sendren
Where did I fly away to?
Veroor vaanam veroor vaazhkai
A different sky, a different life—
Ennai yerkuma
Will it accept me?
Pudhiya ulagai pudhiya ulagai
A new world, a new world
Thedi pogiren ennai vidu
I go in search of, leave me alone.
Pirivil thodangi poothathai
What blossomed beginning in separation,
Pirivil mudinthu pogiren
I am ending in separation.
Meendum naan meela pogiren
Once again, I am going to redeem myself,
Dhooramaai vaazha pogiren
I am going to live far away.
Pudhiya ulagai pudhiya ulagai
A new world, a new world
Thedi pogiren ennai vidu
I go in search of, leave me alone.
