நீல நெருப்பே
நீல நெருப்பே
காலம் உனக்கென
புறப்பட டா...
கனவின் எல்லை கடக்க வேண்டும்
தூக்கம் விழித்தே புறப்பட டா...
Oh blue flame!
Oh blue flame!
Time is set for you,
Set forth!
You must cross the boundaries of dreams,
Burn your sleep and set forth!
மனம் போதும் என்ற
ஒரு சொல்லை
ஒரு நாளும் ஏற்று கொண்டதில்லை
பயம் என்ன என்று கண்டதில்லை
காற்றெங்கும் உன் பெயரே
எதிர் ஒலிக்குது
Your mind saying 'enough',
that single word,
has never been accepted by you.
You have never known what fear is.
Everywhere in the wind, your name
echoes.

வீசும் காற்றும்
பாதை மாற்றும்
உந்தன் வேகம் ரகசியமோ
எதிரி கூட்டம் உனக்கு மட்டும்
கைகள் தட்டும் அதிசயமோ
Even the blowing wind
changes its path;
is your speed a secret?
Even the opposing crowd
claps for you, what a miracle!
உன்னை போல யாரும் இங்கு இல்லை
நீ தோன்ற போவதும் இல்லை
நீ இந்த மண்ணின் செல்ல பிள்ளை
காற்றெங்கும் உன் பெயரே
எதிர் ஒலிக்குது
There is no one like you here,
nor will anyone like you ever be born.
You are the beloved child of this soil.
Everywhere in the wind, your name
echoes.
