முனகல் :
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
In the cluster of the rainbow,
A new color is being added.
In a mind-blowing dream,
A new thought covers and wraps around.
ரெயின்போ திரளில்
ஒரு வண்ணம் கூடுதே
மைண்ட் ப்லோவ் கனவில்
புது எண்ணம் மோதுதே
With the heart melting,
It plays a game of chess.
Yesterday moves away,
And a brand new today has arrived.
ஹார்ட்டோ உருகி
சதுரங்கம் ஆடுதே
நேற்றோ விலகி
புது இன்றும் ஆனதே..
The crimson twilight sky turns into a street.
Time here, which accepts no bridle,
Dances away cheerfully.
The future appears like a mirage's stream
Taking shape before our eyes.
The distance to travel ahead is unseen and unknown.
செவ்வானம் ஸ்ட்ரீட்டாய் மாறுதே
கடிவாளம் போடா காலம் இங்கே
ஆட்டம் போடுதே
எதிர்காலம் கானல் நீரோடையாய்
தோற்றம் காணுதே
இனி போகும் தூரமே கண்காணாதே
Hop and leap forward, my friend!
This is an uninhabited deserted island, man!
Look in all eight directions, man!
It is all a circle of glowing light, man!
தத்தி தத்தி தாவுடா
இது வெற்று தீவடா
நீ எட்டுதிக்கும் பாரடா
ஒளி வட்டம் தானடா
Hop and leap forward, my friend!
This is an uninhabited deserted island, man!
Look in all eight directions, man!
It is all a circle of glowing light, man!
தத்தி தத்தி தாவுடா
இது வெற்று தீவடா
நீ எட்டுதிக்கும் பாரடா
ஒளி வட்டம் தானடா
The lines of the eyebrow
Find a brand new meaning.
In her cobra-like eyes,
A drop of shyness surrounds.
முனகல் :
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
In the flower along the highway,
The mind gets hijacked.
In the fifth sense,
A train seems to run fast.
ஐ ப்ரோ வரிகள்
புது அர்த்தம் காணுதே
கோப்ரா விழியில்
துளி வெட்கம் சூழுதே
The white cloud turns into a vacuum.
The unquenched search never ends.
I am a fortune model;
Do not search for identity anywhere.
ஹைவே மலரில்
மனம் ஹைஜாக் ஆனதே
ஐந்தாம் புலனில்
ஒரு ட்ரைன்தா ஓடுதே
The body stands like a statue,
A mocktail maiden,
Is who I am from now on!
வெண் மேகம் வெக்கியூம் ஆனதே
தனியாமல் தேடல் தீராதே
நான் பார்ஜுன் மாடெல்லே
அடயாளம் எங்கும் தேடாதே
Hop and leap forward, my friend!
This is an uninhabited deserted island, man!
Look in all eight directions, man!
It is all a circle of glowing light, man!
தேகம் ஸ்டேட்ச் போலவே
ஒரு மொக்டில் மங்கையே
இனி நான்தானே.ஏ..
Hop and leap forward, my friend!
This is an uninhabited deserted island, man!
Look in all eight directions, man!
It is all a circle of glowing light, man!

இது வெற்று தீவடா
நீ எட்டுதிக்கும் பாரடா
ஒளி வட்டம் தானடா
Let the burdens be relieved,
Hey, why hold onto sadness?
Let Google search for it;
Set the rest of the world aside.
தத்தி தத்தி தாவுடா
இது வெற்று தீவடா
நீ எட்டுதிக்கும் பாரடா
ஒளி வட்டம் தானடா
At the root of the wound,
There is a drop of blood.
When you stand beside me,
That feels like a kiss to me.
முனகல் :
ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஓ
If you come close to me,
There is no fear at all.
I will not go around telling
That to anyone.
I too came without realizing;
Where is the boundary?
தீரட்டும் பாரமே
அட துக்கம் எதுக்கு
தேடட்டும் கூகுள்லே
உலகத்தை ஒதுக்கு
There is no lock that cannot be unlocked;
From now on, it is a wild run.
Not even a single moment feels tiring,
Trapped within the ticking hand of the clock.
காயத்தின் வேரிலே
துளி ரத்தம் இருக்கு
நீ நிற்கும் போதிலே
அது முத்தம் எனக்கு
There is no lock that cannot be unlocked;
From now on, it is a wild run.
Not even a single moment feels tiring;
If the wick catches fire, victory is a celebration!
அருகில் நீயும் வந்தால்
ஏதும் பயம் இல்லை
அதை யாருக்கும் நான்
சொல்லி கொள்வதில்லை
தெரியாமல் நானும் வந்தேன்
ஏது எல்லை
திறக்காத ஒரு பூட்டும்தான்
இருக்காது இனி ஓட்டம்தான்
சலிக்காத ஒரு நொடிக்கூட
மணி காட்டும் முள்ளில் மாட்டித்தான்
திறக்காத ஒரு பூட்டும்தான்
இருக்காது இனி ஓட்டம்தான்
சலிக்காத ஒரு நொடிக்கூட
திரி பற்றி கொண்டால் வெற்றி கொண்டாட்டம்
