தொட்டில்
மடியில் தூங்க வா
கெட்ட கனவை
விட்டு விடு
In the cradle's lap
Come to sleep
The bad dream
Let it go
தொட்டில்
மடியில் தூங்க வா
கெட்ட கனவை
விட்டு விடு
In the cradle's lap
Come to sleep
The bad dream
Let it go
நாளும் வானம்
தேடும் பறவை நீயே
இந்தக் கிளையில் ஓய்வேடு
Every day the sky
You are the bird that seeks
Take rest on this branch
நாளை வானம்
உனது தானே இன்று
மட்டும் ஓய்வேடு
Tomorrow's sky
Is yours alone
Just take rest today
உனது மனதின்
ஒளியில் விடியும் இருளில்
தூங்கும் இரவுகள் முடியும்
என்ற நொடியில் விரியும்
களவு போன கனவுகள்
In the light of your mind
In the darkness that dawns
The sleeping nights
At the moment when it ends
Blossoms the stolen
Dreams that were lost
கெட்ட கனவை
விட்டு விடு கெட்ட கனவை
விட்டு விடு இந்தக் கிளையில்
ஓய்வேடு
Let go of the bad dream
Let go of the bad dream
Take rest on this branch…
Thottil madiyil
In the cradle's lap
Thoonga vaa
Come to sleep
Ketta kanavai
The bad dream
Vittu vidu
Let it go
Thottil madiyil
In the cradle's lap
Thoonga vaa
Come to sleep
Ketta kanavai
The bad dream
Vittu vidu
Let it go
Naalum vaanam
Every day the sky
Thedum paravai neeyae
You are the bird that seeks
Indha kilayil oivedu
Take rest on this branch
Naalai vaanam
Tomorrow's sky
Unadhu thaanae
Is yours alone
Indru mattum oivedu
Just take rest today
Unadhu manadhin oliyil
In the light of your mind
