Lalalalalalalalallaa………….
Even when we laugh, you and I are one,
Even when we cry, our heart and tears are one.
Among those who live for friendship,
Who on this earth is like us?
That all three of us walk the same path,
Say it out loud, say it!
Through every rise and fall in life,
Stand together as one, stand united!
Even when we laugh, you and I are one,
Even when we cry, our heart and tears are one.
Among those who live for friendship,
Who on this earth is like us?
Does a moustache ask permission before it grows?
Desire in this world is just like that!
It grows all on its own, my friend,
Shave it off, and it just shows the way, come on!
We can break past every fence and limit,
We can soar anywhere like little birds!
With no tail and no strings attached,
Our life is just like a free-flying kite, hey!
Even when we laugh, you and I are one,
Even when we cry, our heart and tears are one.
Among those who live for friendship,
Who on this earth is like us?
That all three of us walk the same path,
Say it out loud, say it!
Through every rise and fall in life,
Stand together as one, stand united!
Even when we laugh, you and I are one,
Even when we cry, our heart and tears are one.
Among those who live for friendship,
Who on this earth is like us?
Is there a different sky for every town?
Look around the whole world and see!
Separate thoughts for separate minds—
Tell me, is there any such divide between us?
Through all the days to come, right here,
Everything is shared equally by the three of us!
We were born to live, and live fully we will,
When our shining moment finally arrives!
Oho ho hey hey hey...
Even when we laugh, you and I are one,
Even when we cry, our heart and tears are one.
Among those who live for friendship,
Who on this earth is like us?
That all three of us walk the same path,
Say it out loud, say it!
Through every rise and fall in life,
Stand together as one, stand united!
La la la la la la la la...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This cheerful song celebrates the unbreakable bond of friendship among three companions. It emphasizes that whether facing joy or sorrow, success or failure, their feelings, destinies, and hearts remain entirely unified. They view life as a free-spirited kite, unburdened by rigid rules and anchored purely by unconditional loyalty and togetherness.

Poetic devices

Simile (Uvamaani)

Sittugal pol engum parakkalaam / Pattam pol namma vaazhkkai thaan

Compares the freedom of the friends to flying sparrows and their uninhibited life to a kite without strings.

Edhukai (Second Letter Rhyme)

Ketta molaikkudhu meesai / Adhu pol thaan ingu aasai

The second consonant sound 'tta' is repeated across consecutive lines to form a pleasing rhythm.

Anaphora / Repetition (Erattai Kilavi / Anupirasa)

Sollu sollu / Nillu nillu

Repetition of words like 'sollu sollu' and 'nillu nillu' adds musicality and rhythmic emphasis to the call for unity.
