சென்றேன் சென்றேன் கால்கள் செல்ல
இரவும் பகலும் மாறும் மெல்ல
மௌனம் மௌனம் மொழியாய்
மாறும் நேரமோ
I walked and walked as my feet led me
Night and day slowly transform
Is it time for silence
To turn into language?
வெளிச்சம் வெளிச்சம் இரவினை வெல்லும்
விதைகள் எல்லாம் மரமாய் மாறும்
சிறகுகள் முளைத்து லட்சியம் நோக்கி
உன் பயணமா
Light, light will conquer the night
All seeds will transform into trees
Sprouting wings towards the goal
Is this your journey?
போதும் போதும் வேதனை பொது
இறையை தேடும் பறவையை போலே
எங்கும் சுற்றி திரிவோம் வா வா.....ஆ.....ஆ...
நீயும் நானும் நாமாய் மாறும்
நேரம் நேரம் அதிகம் இல்லை
லட்சியம் நிச்சயம் வெல்லும் ஒரு நாள்....ஆ.....ஆ....
Enough, enough, this agony is enough
Like a bird searching for food
Let us wander everywhere, come, come
You and I transforming into us
There is not much time left
The target will surely win one day
..............................

வோஹா.....ஆ.....ஆ....லல்லல் லா லா லா

Lalalala lalalala lalalala aaa...
வியர்வைகள் எல்லாம் குருதியாய் மாறி
பாதைகள் எல்லாம் கல்லும் முள்ளும் என்றாலும்
அதன் மீது நடப்பேன் பெண்ணே....நான்
வலித்தாலும் சிரிப்பேனே காரணம்
உன்னை நினைப்பேனே
இமை மூட மறுத்தாலும்
சீக்கிரம் இமயம் தொடுவேனே
Even if all sweat turns into blood
Even if all paths are filled with stones and thorns
I will walk over them, oh girl... I will
Even if it hurts, I will smile, because
I will think of you
Even if my eyelids refuse to close
I will soon touch the Himalayas
இந்த பயணம் வெகு தூரம் இல்லை
உந்தன் முயற்சி அது தோற்பதில்லை
இவை யாவும் விதி முடியும் வரை
நீ போராடுடா நண்பனே.....தோழனே.....காதலே
ஏ ஏ ஏ ஏ ஏ ஹே
This journey is not very far
Your efforts will never fail
Until destiny comes to an end
Keep fighting, my friend... companion... beloved...
Eh eh eh eh eh hae...
சென்றேன் சென்றேன் கால்கள் செல்ல
இரவும் பகலும் மாறும் மெல்ல
மௌனம் மௌனம் மொழியாய்
மாறும் நேரமோ
I walked and walked as my feet led me
Night and day slowly transform
Is it time for silence
To turn into language?
வெளிச்சம் வெளிச்சம் இரவினை வெல்லும்
விதைகள் எல்லாம் மரமாய் மாறும்
சிறகுகள் முளைத்து லட்சியம் நோக்கி
என் பயணமோ.....பயணமோ.....பயணமோ
ஆஅ.....ஆஅ.....ஆஅ....ஓஒ.....ஆ.....
ஹே....எஹ்....ஹே
