மின்மினி நான்
மின்னலும் நான்
மழை நான் மேகம் நான்
I am a firefly
I am lightning as well
I am the rain… I am the cloud
பனித்துளி நான்
பூக்களும் நான்
பட்டாம் பூச்சி நான்
I am a dewdrop
I am the flowers too
I am a butterfly
யாரோ நான்
யாரோ அதை சொன்னால்
புாியாதோ உயிாில்
காற்றாய் வருவேன்
இசை நான் தருவேன்
Who am I, who am I?
Won't you understand if I say it?
I will come into your soul like the wind
I will give music
.....................................
{Woh… woh woh

சுற்றும் பூமி
மேலே சுற்றும் பாவி
நானே எங்கும் நிலவினிலே
உலவிடுவேன்
Above the spinning earth
I am the wandering soul
I will wander everywhere under the moonlight
முற்றுப் புள்ளி
எந்தன் வாழ்வில் என்றும்
இல்லை எங்கும் பறந்திடுவேன்
விாிந்திடுவேன்
A full stop in my
Life never exists
I will fly everywhere
I will spread my wings
ஓ குழந்தை குமாி
இரண்டும் சோ்ந்த விடைதான்
என் வயது
Oh, a child and a maiden
Joined together
Is the answer that is my age
ஓ காற்றும் பூவும்
ஒன்றாய் கலந்த எடைதான்
என் மனது
Oh, wind and flower
Blended into one
Is the weight of my heart
என் பெயா்
சொன்னால் யாா்
என்று தொியும்
மாயம் செய்பவள்
நான் மாயா
If you utter my name
Everyone will know who I am
I am the one who performs magic
Mayaa…..

I will spread my wings
நடை உடை
இதை அதை பாா்த்தால்
கடை விழி கிறங்கும்
படை முன்னே கிடப்பதை
போலே மனம் அது நடுங்கும்
My gait and attire
Looking at this and that
The corners of eyes will swoon
Before an army
As if falling down
The heart will tremble
தெருவில் நானும்
நடந்தால் உடனே விபத்தாகும்
வீதி ஆண்கள் இதயம் வேண்டுவதெல்லாம்
என் போல் ஒருத்தி
When I walk
Down the street, immediately
The street gets into chaos
What men's hearts
Wish for all along
Is a girl... just like... me...

இடம் வலம்
திசை அதை பாா்த்தே
முகில் மழை தருமா
இடம் பொருள் ஏவல்
அதை கேட்டே இசை
பாடல் வருமா
Left, right, and direction
Looking at those
Does a cloud pour rain?
Place, context, or person
Asking about those
Does a musical song flow?
இளமை வழியில்
தடைதான் ஏது நடைபோடு
மனமே அணையே இல்லா
நதியை போல வா வா நடப்போம்
In the path of youth
What obstacle is there?
Walk ahead, oh mind!
Like a damless
River
Come, let us walk!

This energetic track celebrates the carefree, magical, and uninhibited spirit of a young woman named Maya. She equates herself to various dynamic elements of nature—such as fireflies, rain, clouds, butterflies, and lightning—signifying her vibrant, boundless personality and love for freedom. She rejects societal constraints and limits, asserting that her life contains no full stops and that she flows freely like an un-dammed river.
