புதிதா புவி
எல்லாமே புதிதா
புதிதா மனம் எல்லாமே
புதிதா ஒரு யாக்கை
ஒரு வாழ்க்கை அதை கூட
வாழ வாழ்வென்ன நண்பா
சிறு கூடு சிறு நெஞ்சம்
அதற்குள்ளே குப்பை மேடென
என் நண்பா ஓ ஓ
It is new... the whole world is new.
It is new... every mind is new.
Just one body,
Just one life,
Why hesitate even to live that fully, my friend?
புதிதா புவி
எல்லாமே புதிதா
புதிதா மனம் எல்லாமே
புதிதா
It is new... the whole world is new.
It is new... every mind is new.
ஏன் ஏன் யோசனை
எது இல்லை உன்னுள்ளே
கண்ணின் உள்ளே கனவா
இல்லை சுவாசப் பையில்
காற்றா இல்லை
Why, why all these overthinking thoughts?
Is there nothing left inside you?
Aren't there dreams inside your eyes?
Isn't there breath inside your lungs?
ஓவியத்தில்
வாழும் வரை வண்ணத்தில்
பஞ்சங்கள் இல்லையே
தனிமை தானே துணையே
உன் துணைதானே உடன் வரும்
இறுதி வரை
Spread your wings as you go along your path.
Throw away all the garbage-like worries.
Look at your troubles and smile a bit.
Na na na naa na..
போகிற போக்கில்
றெக்கை விரி குப்பைகள்
எல்லாம் தூக்கி எறி
கவலைகள் பார்த்து
கொஞ்சம் சிரி
னா னா னா னா னா ஓ ஓ
It is new... the whole world is new.
It is new... every mind is new.
Just one body,
Just one life,
Why hesitate even to live that fully, my friend?
புதிதா புவி
எல்லாமே புதிதா
புதிதா மனம் எல்லாமே
புதிதா ஒரு யாக்கை

Puthitha manam ellamae puthitha
It is new... every mind is new.

Oru vaazhkkai
Just one life,
Athai kooda vaazha vaazhvenna.. nanba..
Why hesitate even to live that fully, my friend?

Yen yen yosanai
Why, why all these overthinking thoughts?
Yethu illai unnullae
Is there nothing left inside you?
Kannin ullae kanava illai
Aren't there dreams inside your eyes?
Swasa paiyil kaatraa illai
Isn't there breath inside your lungs?
Pogira pokkil rekkai viri
Spread your wings as you go along your path.
Kuppaigal ellam thooki yeri
Throw away all the garbage-like worries.
Kavalaigal paarthu konjam siri
Look at your troubles and smile a bit.
Na na na naa na..
Na na na naa na..
Puthitha.. puvi ellamae puthitha
It is new... the whole world is new.
Puthitha manam ellamae puthitha
It is new... every mind is new.
