யார் மீட்டு யாளம்
இனி வரும் இவன் உலகம்
உறங்காத வானம்
புதியாய் அசையுமே
Whose tuned Yaazh melody is this?
Hereafter, this world belongs to him
The sleepless sky
Will sway anew
இடமாறி போகும்
பறவை திரும்பும் வரைக்கும்
அதன் கோட்டை மனதில்
தினமும் சுமக்குமே
Relocating and flying away
Until the bird returns
Its fort within its mind
It will carry every day
தனியாய் நடந்து எதையும்
அடைவாய் எதையும்
தடைகள் அதுவாய் உடையும்
By walking alone
You will achieve everything
Obstacles will shatter on their own
முனகல் : .
.................
If you fall as rain
It will flow as a great river
If you walk like a river
It will naturally reach the sea
மழையாய் விழுந்தால்
பெரும் ஆறாக ஓடும்
நதியாய் நடந்தால்
அது கடல் தானே சேரும்
One day, one day
Transforming like Buddha
You will conquer the world
Continually seeking the good path
ஒருநாள் ஒருநாள்
புத்தனவன் போல் மாறி
உலகை அடைவாய்
நல்வழி தேடி தேடி
Through perseverance alone
He will shape himself
By swimming against the great tide
He will reach the shore
ஓர் வழியாகத்தான்
இவன் உருவாகுவான்
பெரும் எதிர் நீச்சில்
கரையேறுவான்
Are you the distant horizon?
Or the stain visible on the moon?
Is he the deep blue of the ocean?
Or the glowing waves?

ஒளிரும் அலைகளோ
By walking alone
You will achieve everything
Obstacles will shatter on their own
இடமாறி போகும்
பறவை திரும்பும் வரைக்கும்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deeply philosophical and motivational anthem centered on resilience, self-discovery, and personal growth. It encourages the listener to embrace solitude and hardship as stepping stones toward ultimate success. By drawing parallels to nature—such as migratory birds, rivers making their inevitable way to the ocean, and the vast sky—the lyrics emphasize that inner strength and persistence can overcome any obstacle. The song highlights the transformative journey of an individual seeking the right path in life, comparing this inner awakening to the enlightenment of Buddha. Through the metaphor of swimming against strong currents to reach the shore, it delivers a powerful message about determination, individuality, and conquering one's world through steadfast resolve.
