..............
...
கதவ தொறந்த பழைய உலகம்
பரிச புடிக்க பொய்யாக பழகும்
பொறுத்து போக சொல்லும் ஒரு குழுமம்
எதிர்த்து போனாதான் பொறக்கும் மறு உலகம்
If you open the door, it is the same old world
It pretends falseness just to earn a reward
A society that tells you to compromise and endure
Only if you oppose and move past it, a new world is born
..............
...
ஹே யாரோ யாரோ கண்ட கதைய சொன்னாலும்
நாம யாருன்ன நமக்கு தெரியனும்
ஊருக்காக வாழுறத நிறுத்தி
நமக்கு நாமதான் நிம்மதி கொடுக்கனும்
Hey, whoever tells stories they have seen or experienced
We must know who we truly are ourselves
Stop living for the sake of society
We must give peace of mind to our own selves
வாரத்துக்கு ஆற நாள் வாடகை புன்னகை
யாருக்குமே தெரியாத உள் மன கவலை
கடிகார முள்போல நகரும் நாட்கள்
இடத்துக்கு வானம் தாண்ட துடிக்கும் கால்கள்
A rented smile six days a week
Inner mental worries hidden from everyone
Days moving like the hands of a clock
Feet yearning to break boundaries and cross the sky
இதில் எது தேவை
எது தேவையில்லை முடிவெடுத்திட
உன்னை விட யாரும் தேவையில்லை
Among these, what is necessary
To decide what is unnecessary
No one else is required besides yourself
பறவைக்கு வெறும் வாழுமிடம்
மட்டுந்தான் கூடு
மனிதர்க்கோர் நிம்மதி கிடைக்கும் இடமே வீடு
When searching for a life beyond authority and control
When the inner silence attracts you in times of solitude
The mind's quest runs and connects in the snowy forest
All our needs shrink into a small nest
அதிகாரம் மீறி ஒரு வாழ்க்கை தேடும்போது
தனியாகும் வேளை உள் மெளனம் ஈர்க்கும்போது
மனம் தேடல் ஓடியே பனிக்காட்டில் சேர்கிறதே
நம் தேவை யாவுமே சிறு கூடாகுதே
Ah, a snowy cloud-shelter in tender warmth
Inside it lies the moon's abode
Like a great loving mother
The forest holds us close upon its chest
ஹா இளமேதினில் பனிமேற்கூடு
அதனுள்ளே நிலவின் வீடு
பெறும் தாயை போல
மார்பினில் ஏந்திடும் காடு
O mind... go... O mind...
Chorus: Sing a lullaby
மனமே.......போ......மனமே

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song reflects on the superficiality of modern societal expectations and the quest for authentic living. It highlights how people often wear fake smiles and suppress their inner angst to satisfy society, living like clockwork routine rather than embracing true freedom. The lyrics encourage self-awareness, standing up against societal pressures, and finding solace within oneself and nature. Ultimately, the composition defines 'home' not as a physical structure, but as any space or state of being that grants absolute mental peace and contentment. Nature is depicted as a maternal shelter embracing the weary soul, offering true comfort away from authoritative control.
