உன் நினைவுகள்
எதுவோ அதுதான் உன்
உலகம் உன் கனவுகள்
எதுவோ அதுதான் உன்
இதயம்
Whatever your thoughts are
That alone is your world
Whatever your dreams are
That alone is your heart
உன் தேடலை
நீ தேடி கொண்டே
நடந்தால் என்றாவது
உன் கையில் சேரும்
முழுதாய்
Your continuous search
If you keep walking in search of it
Someday it will
Completely reach your hands
உன் பாதையில்
நீ ஓடி கொண்டே இருந்தால்
என்றாவது அது வெற்றி
பெறும் பெரிதாய்
On your path
If you keep running continuously
Someday it
Will achieve grand success...

...........................
ஆண்கள் என்றால்
சில கேள்வி வரும் பெண்கள்
என்றால் பல கேள்வி வரும்
If it is men
A few questions will arise
If it is women
Many questions will arise
வெற்றி எல்லாம்
பெறும் போதை தரும்
தோல்வி எல்லாம் ஒரு
கீதை ஆகும்
All success
Gives a strong intoxication
All failure
Becomes a guiding scripture
வெல்லும் வரை
ஓயாமல் ஓடு முந்திக்கொண்டு
முன்னேறு நீ எட்டும் வரை
தூங்காமல் தேடு என்றும்
வேண்டும் உன்னோடு நீ
Run relentlessly until you win
Overtake everyone and move forward
Search without sleep until you reach it
You must always stand by yourself
...........................
நாட்டின் கண்கள்
பெண்கள் என்பாய் கண்கள்
என்று தூங்க செய்வாய்
பெண்கள் வீட்டின் தங்கம்
என்பாய் தங்கம் என்று
பூட்டி வைப்பாய்
You say women are the eyes of the nation
Yet you make those eyes sleep
You say women are the gold of the home
Yet you lock up gold in safe places
வெல்லும் வரை
ஓயாமல் ஓடு முந்திக்கொண்டு
முன்னேறு நீ எட்டும் வரை
தூங்காமல் தேடு என்றும்
வேண்டும் உன்னோடு நீ
Run relentlessly until you win
Overtake everyone and move forward
Search without sleep until you reach it
You must always stand by yourself

எதுவோ அதுதான் உன்
உலகம் உன் கனவுகள்
