Camphor and incense
After waving it around
Spitting to ward off bad luck
The evil eye will be removed
சூடம் கற்பூரம்
சுத்துனதுக்கு அப்புறம்
தூன்னு துப்புனா
திருஷ்டி கழிஞ்சிறும்
Well-being will be created
And happiness will double
Once you look at the cash note
Troubles will fade away
சேமம் உண்டாகும்
சந்தோசமும் இரண்டாகும்
நோட்ட பாத்துபுட்டா
கஷ்டம் மறைஞ்சிடும்
Whether you believe this
Or start an unnecessary argument
Follow your own fun
This life is a one-way road
இத நீ நம்புனாலும்
வேணா வம்புனாலும்
பாலாே பண்ணு உன் ஃபண்ணு
இது ஒன்வே லைப்
A prize hits you all of a sudden
That is the real surprise
So under no circumstances
Stop your happiness
சடன்னா அடிக்குன்டா பிரைசு
அதுதான்டா சர்பிரைஸ்
சோ எதுக்கும்
நிறுத்தாத ஹேப்பிநஸ் - ஆ

போடு
ஆஹா
No matter how much risk you take
Even if you become Elon Musk
There is a group
That will always criticize
என்னாதா ரிஸ்க்கெடுத்து
எலான்மஸ்க் ஆனாலும்
கிரிட்சிசைஸ் பண்ணு
ஒரு குருப்பு
Politely brush them aside
Learn the game
Running towards the goal
Is our responsibility
அது பொலைட்டா தட்டிவுட்டு
விளையாட்ட கத்துகிட்டு
கோல்க்காக ஒடுவது
நம்ம பொறுப்பு
When a sad moment
Happens in life
Without forgetting it the next day
Why do you ruin your inner peace?
சோக சீன் ஒன்னு நடக்கும்போது
அடுத்த நாளே மறக்காமே
ஏன் உன் இன்னர் பீஸ கெடுக்குற
When an airplane flies
You think you are flying
But you are actually just
Sitting inside it
ஏரோப்ளைன்ல போகும் போது
பறக்குறக்குறோன் நினைப்ப நீ
அதில் உக்காந்து
தான் இருக்கிற
Whether you believe this
Or start an unnecessary argument
Follow your own fun
This life is a one-way road
இத நீ நம்புனாலும்
வேணா வம்புனாலும்
பாலாே பண்ணு உன் ஃபண்ணு
இது ஒன்வே லைப்
A prize hits you all of a sudden
That is the real surprise
So under no circumstances
Stop your happiness
