சந்தன பூங்காற்றே
சந்தன பூங்காற்றே என்
இளமையின் கனவினை
திமிர் என உரைத்தது யார்
என் சரிகம சிரிப்பினை
சிறையிட நெய்தது யார்
நான் எல்லை தாண்டி விட
வில்லை கூண்டுக்குள்ளும்
இல்லை
O fragrant sandal breeze
O fragrant sandal breeze
Who called the dreams of my youth
Arrogance?
My musical laughter,
Who wove a trap to imprison it?
I have not crossed my limits
Nor am I inside a cage
பூ போலே பிறந்து
நதி போல துள்ளி திரிந்து
தினம் தென்றல் போலே
வாழ்ந்தால் ஆனந்தம்... ம்ம்ம்
Born like a flower
Leaping and wandering like a river
Living every day like a gentle breeze
Is sheer happiness..mmm
தம் தம் தம் நா நா
நும் நா நா தம்த நம்த நா
நா நும் நா நா நும் தம் நம்
தம் நம் தம் நா நா நும்
Dham dham dham na na num
Na na dhamtha namtha na na num

எனக்கொரு ஆசை
உனக்கொரு ஆசை
உதடுக்குதடு புது புது
பாஷை குற்றம் என்றே
இதை சொல்வாரோ
I have a desire
You have a desire
Lip to lip, a new
A brand new language
Will anyone call this a crime?
மலைகள் வேறு
கரைகள் வேறு கூண்டுகள்
வேறு கூடுகள் வேறு ரெண்டும்
ஒன்றே என்று சொல்வாரோ
Mountains are different
Shores are different
Cages are different
Nests are different
Will anyone say both are the same?
புரியும் வரை தான்
மனதின் மயக்கம் சரியா
தவறா என்று ஏங்காதே
Only until it is understood
Is the mind's illusion
Right or wrong
Do not agonize over it
தவறே ஒரு நாள்
சரியாய் தெரியும் வாழ்க்கை
இது தான் அலைபாயாதே
A mistake will one day
Appear to be right
This is what life is
Do not let your mind waver
வாழ்க்கை என்னும்
உலகு அது மாறு பட்ட அழகு
பொன் வானின் அளவு என்
அந்தரங்க கனவு
This world called life
Has a uniquely distinct beauty
As vast as the golden sky
Is my secret dream
சந்தன பூங்காற்றே
சந்தன பூங்காற்றே என்
இளமையின் கனவினை
திமிர் என உரைத்தது யார்
என் சரிகம சிரிப்பினை
சிறையிட நெய்தது யார்
O fragrant sandal breeze
O fragrant sandal breeze
Who called the dreams of my youth
Arrogance?
My musical laughter,
Who wove a trap to imprison it?
பனி விழும் பார்வை
பரம்பரை நாணம் தணிந்திடும்
கோவம் திருமண ஆசை
பெண்ணில் எல்லாம் எதை
பார்த்தேனே
A dewy gaze
Ancestral shyness
Subsided anger
Desire for marriage
I saw all these in women
இலக்கணம் இல்ல
இலக்கியம் நானே
விழிகளுக்கெல்லாம்
அதிசயம் ஆனேன்
மௌனத்தின் நான்
இசை கேட்பேனே
A literature without grammar rules
I am that literature
To every pair of eyes
I became a marvel
I listen to the music within silence
உறவில் கலந்து
கருவை சுமந்து உயிரை
படைக்கும் பெண்கள்
தெய்வங்களே
Uniting in relationships
Carrying a life in the womb
Creating a new life
Women are truly divine beings
பூஜைகளும் வேண்டாம்
சிறைகளும் வேண்டாம்
பெண்ணை பெண்ணாய்கொஞ்சம்
பாருங்களேன்
Neither worship is needed
Nor imprisonment is needed
Just treat a woman as a human being
Please look at her that way for a moment
ஓர் நாளே இருக்கும்
சில பூவை வண்டு மணக்கும்
உள்ளங்கள் கலந்தால் இங்கு
வாழ்வில் அர்த்தம் இருக்கும்
Lasting only for a single day
A beetle savors a few flowers
When hearts truly unite
Life finds its meaning here
சந்தன பூங்காற்றே
சந்தன பூங்காற்றே நான்
இயக்கிட வந்தது திரை பட
உலகத்திலே நான் எழுதிய
திரை கதை ஜெயித்தது
நிஜத்தினிலே ஒரு பொய்யில்
வெற்றி அடைந்தாலும் கண்ணில்
இல்லை தூக்கம்
O fragrant sandal breeze
O fragrant sandal breeze
I came here to direct
In the world of cinema
The screenplay I wrote
Succeeded in reality
Even if victory was achieved through a lie
There is no sleep in my eyes
{ என் பாதை சரியா
இது காலம் செய்த பிழையா
என் நெஞ்சம் எங்கும் ஏதோ
ஆதங்கம் } (2)
Is my path correct?
Is this a mistake made by time?

Through poetic imagery, the song explores themes of identity, emotional liberation, and the delicate balance between societal expectations and personal conviction. In the final verses, the narrative touches upon the internal conflict of achieving success through a deception, expressing a deep anguish over whether time or circumstances forced a wrong choice.
