| Chorus | |
| In the sun and sand the sea | In the sun, sand, and sea |
| In the right and I’m feeling alright | In the right mood, and I'm feeling alright |
| And I’m feeling alright | And I am feeling alright |
| Male | |
| Kaalam illai nilaa mugiyae | There is no time limit, oh face like the moon |
| Kadhalillae vizha vaa mugaiyae | Come fall in love, oh blossoming bud |
| Maayam ennum un unmaiyilae | In your truth that feels like magic |
| Oyaamal aada venmaiyilae | To dance endlessly in pure brightness |
| Male | |
| Oh edhirkaala sumaiyaavum veenae | Oh, the burden of thoughts about the future is useless |
| Aiyo nedunalgal uthavaathu thaanae | Alas, worrying about long days ahead won't help |
| Nee aadaiyilae un aadaiyilae | When you sway in your dress, in your dress |
| Siru noolyena idhayamum aada | My heart sways like a delicate thread |
| Male | |
| Unnal endhan boomi | Because of you, my earth |
| Nindratha paar | Look, has it come to a standstill |
| Aanal naan suzhalgirenae paar | But look, I am spinning round and round |
| Salangaigal udaiyum varai | Until the anklet bells break |
| Salangaigal udaiyum varai | Until the anklet bells break |
| Female | |
| Thozhanae kaatru | Look friend, the wind |
| Aadamal irukka | Remains without moving |

In the sun and sand the sea
In the right and I’m feeling alright
And I’m feeling alright
In the sun, sand, and sea
In the right mood, and I'm feeling alright
And I am feeling alright
காலமில்லை நிலாமுகியே
காதலிலே வீழ வா முகையே
மாயம் எனும் உன் உண்மையிலே
ஓயாமல் ஆடு வெண்மயிலே
There is no time limit, oh face like the moon
Come fall in love, oh blossoming bud
In your truth that feels like magic
To dance endlessly in pure brightness
ஓ எதிர்காலச் சுமையாவும் வீணே
அய்யோ நெடுநல்கள் உதவாதுதானே
நீ ஆடயிலே உன் ஆடையிலே
சிறு நூலென இதயமும் ஆட
Oh, the burden of thoughts about the future is useless
Alas, worrying about long days ahead won't help
When you sway in your dress, in your dress
My heart sways like a delicate thread
உன்னால் எந்தன்
பூமி நின்றது பார்
ஆனால் நான் சுழல்கிறேனே பார்
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
Because of you, my earth
Look, has it come to a standstill
But look, I am spinning round and round
Until the anklet bells break
Until the anklet bells break
தோழனே காற்று
ஆடாமல் இருக்க
பார்த்தாயா சுழல்கிறேனே நான்
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
Look friend, the wind
Remains without moving
Have you seen how I am spinning?
Until the anklet bells break
Until the anklet bells break
தீண்டல்கள் மட்டுந்தான்
அக்காதல் என்பாயா......
நெஞ்சத்தின் சத்தந்தான்
அக்காதல் என்பாயா....
The burden of thoughts about the future is useless
Alas, worrying about long days ahead won't help
When you sway in your dress, in your dress
My heart sways like a delicate thread
விண்மீன்கள் மட்டுந்தான்
அவ்வானம் என்பாயா
அந்த வானம் பொய் என்றால்
அதை மூடிவிடு
Did you hold onto that thread and pull me?
Because of you, I am spinning
Until the anklet bells break
Until the anklet bells break
ஓ எதிர்காலச் சுமையாவும் வீணே
அய்யோ நெடுநல்கள் உதவாதுதானே
நீ ஆடயிலே உன் ஆடையிலே
சிறு நூலென இதயமும் ஆட
Until they break
Until the anklet bells break
உன்னால் எந்தன்
பூமி நின்றது பார் ஆனால்
நான் சுழல்கிறேனே பார்
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
தோழனே காற்று
ஆடாமல் இருக்க
பார்த்தாயா சுழல்கிறேனே நான்
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
காதலின் தூரிகை
சிறகுகளை வரையா
கானம் கமழும் காற்றிலே
பறந்திடலாம் வா இனி
மின்னலாய் மின்னி
இமை காலத்தில் துள்ளியே
இமைக்கும் முன்னே
வா மறைந்தே போகலாம்
ஓ எதிர்காலச் சுமையாவும் வீணே
அய்யோ நெடுநல்கள் உதவாதுதானே
நான் ஆடயிலே உன் ஆடையிலே
சிறு நூலென இதயமும் ஆட
உன்னால் எந்தன்
பூமி நின்றது பார்
ஆனால் நான் சுழல்கிறேனே பார்
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
அந்நூலினைப் பற்றி இழுத்தாயா
உன்னாலே சுழல்கிறேனே நான்
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை
உடையும்வரை
சலங்கைகள் உடையும்வரை (2)

Nee aadaiyilae un aadaiyilae
When you sway in your dress, in your dress
Siru noolyena idhayamum aada
My heart sways like a delicate thread
Unnal endhan boomi
Because of you, my earth
Nindratha paar
Look, has it come to a standstill
Aanal naan suzhalgirenae paar
But look, I am spinning round and round
Salangaigal udaiyum varai
Until the anklet bells break
Salangaigal udaiyum varai
Until the anklet bells break
Thozhanae kaatru
Look friend, the wind
Aadamal irukka
Remains without moving
Paarthaaiyo suzhalgirenae naan
Have you seen how I am spinning?
Salangaigal udaiyum varai
Until the anklet bells break
Salangaigal udaiyum varai
Until the anklet bells break
Edhirkaala sumaiyaavum veenae
The burden of thoughts about the future is useless
Aiyo nedunalgal uthavaathu thaanae
Alas, worrying about long days ahead won't help
Nee aadaiyilae un aadaiyilae
When you sway in your dress, in your dress
Siru noolyena idhayamum aada
My heart sways like a delicate thread
Annoolinai patri izhuthaaiyo
Did you hold onto that thread and pull me?
Unnalae suzhalgirenae naan
Because of you, I am spinning
Salangaigal udaiyum varai
Until the anklet bells break
Salangaigal udaiyum varai
Until the anklet bells break
Udaiyum varai
Until they break
Salangaigal udaiyum varai
Until the anklet bells break
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This energetic dance track is an invitation to celebrate the present moment and surrender to love without worrying about tomorrow. The protagonist speaks of discarding the anxieties of the future and getting lost in the captivating presence of their lover. Driven by romance and rhythm, they dance with complete abandon—so intensely that they vow to keep spinning until the bells on their anklets break.
