காற்றை-போல்
பாய்ந்து பிறக்கும்
நம் வழி வழி
நேற்றை போல்
இல்லை தயக்கங்கள்
இனி இனி
Like the wind
Rushing and emerging
Is our path ahead
தூறல்கள் போடுதே
பல வானிலை மாறுதே
மேகம் சூழ்ந்தாலும்
ஒளி சேருதே
Unlike yesterday
There are no hesitations
Sweetly from now on
புதிய-தோர் வாழ்க்கையை
நான் வாழ தான் போகிறேன்
போகும் இடமெல்லாம்
புது கதை சேருமே
Drizzles are falling
Many weather conditions are changing
Even if clouds surround us
Light still gathers
தீரா வானம் நாமே
தீரும் வாழ்வை
தீராமல் வாழ
A brand-new life
I am going to live
Everywhere I go
A new story will join us
தீரா வானம் நாமே
வெகு தூரம் போ-னாலும்
ஓ-யா-மல் வாழ
காலமே… மாறுமே…
ரூமே… ரூமே…
We are the endless sky
This finite life
To live without ending
தீரா வானம் நாமே
தீரும் வாழ்வை
தீராமல் வாழ்
We are the endless sky
Even if we go far away
To live without stopping
Time itself will change...
Will change... will change...
தீரா வானம் நாமே
வெகு தூரம் போனாலும்
ஓயாமல் வாழ
We are the endless sky
This finite life
To live without ending
We are the endless sky
Even if we go far away
To live without stopping
Kaatrai-pol
Like the wind
Paaindhu pirakkum
Rushing and emerging
Nam vazhi vazhi
Is our path ahead
Netrai pol
Unlike yesterday
Illai thayakkangal
There are no hesitations
Inii inii
Sweetly from now on
Thooralgal poduthae
Drizzles are falling
Pala vaanilai maarudhae
Many weather conditions are changing
Megam soozhndhaalum
Even if clouds surround us
Oli serudhae

Pudhiya-dhor vaazhkaiyai
A brand-new life
Naan vaazha thaan pogiren
I am going to live
Pogum idamellam
Everywhere I go
Pudhu kadhai serumae
A new story will join us
Theera vaanam naamae
We are the endless sky
Theerum vazhvai
This finite life
Theeraamal vaazha
To live without ending
Theera vaanam naamae
We are the endless sky
Veghu dhooram ponaalum
Even if we go far away
Ooyaamal vaazha
To live without stopping
Kaalamae… maarumae…
