மோதல் தொடங்கும்
படி சரிந்துவிட்ட போதும்
குழந்தைகள் போல நாம் நிற்க
பிடிவாதம் வேண்டும் இரவு
வானத்தை பார் ஜொலிக்கும்
நட்சத்திரம் அங்கே தான்
போகலாம் வா
Even when the steps of conflict
Have crumbled down,
Like children,
We must stubbornly stand our ground.
Look at the night sky,
Glowing stars,
Come, let us go there!
ஏறிக்கொள் ஆகச
வானம் கனவுகள் நிஜமாகலாம்
தினமும் முன்னேற்றம்
அடைந்தால் நாட்டில் இருந்து
விண்வெளிக்கு வி ஆர்
அஸ்ட்ரோனோமிகள்
ஓடி ஓடி நாம் நாடி தேடி
இலக்கு அடைவதை லட்சியம்
வெற்றியுடன் நாம் திரும்புவோமே
உயிர் மேல் சத்தியம்
Meteor shuttle,
Dreams can become reality,
If we progress every day,
From Earth to outer space,
We are astronomical.
Running, seeking our goal,
Reaching the destination is our mission,
We will return with victory,
Swearing upon life itself..
நமக்கென பல
போர்கள் இருக்கையில்
வெளியிருந்தொரு வின்கல்
வருவதா அதை உடைத்திடு
கதவடைத்திடு பின் நாம்
போரிடுவோம்
While we have many internal disputes among us,
Should an asteroid come from space?
Break it!
Shut the door,
Later we can fight among ourselves…
மொழி மத
இன பேதம் இருக்கையில்
நம்மை அழித்திட வானம்
விழுவதா
Language, religion, race—
While divisions exist,
To destroy us,
Is the sky falling down?
அதை தடுத்திடு
கதை முடித்திடு பின்னே
நாம் அழிவோம்
Block it!
End its story!
Later let us perish..

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The title track of Tik Tik Tik serves as an adrenaline-fueled anthem of courage, determination, and human unity against extraordinary cosmic threats. It framing time—represented by the ticking clock—as a crucial factor where every microsecond matters. The lyricist Madhan Karky emphasizes that human intellect, scientific advancement, and sheer willpower far outweigh petty societal divides like religion, race, or language when faced with global extinction.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Onomatopoeia
“Male :Tik.. tik.. tik..”

Antithesis / Contrast (Ethirparpu)
“Vidhi siridhu.. Madhi peridhu..”
Contrasts small negative forces or physical limitations with vast human potential (Fate vs Intellect, Obstacle vs Solution).
Metaphor
“Un sevigalil sottu chottena Kaala thuliyaa..”
Equating time to dripping droplets ('Kaala thuliyaa') to illustrate how time slips away drop by drop.
Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)
“Vali siridhu.. Vazhi peridhu..”
Matching initial sounds across adjacent lines for lyrical rhythm (e.g., Vidhi / Madhi, Vali / Vazhi).
