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 search,
If you keep walking in search of it,
Someday into your
Hands it will completely reach.
உன் பாதையில்
நீ ஓடி கொண்டே இருந்தால்
என்றாவது அது வெற்றி
பெறும் பெரிதாய்
On your path,
If you keep running,
Someday it
Will achieve great victory...
...........................
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 high intoxication.
All failure
Becomes a guiding lesson.
வெல்லும் வரை
ஓயாமல் ஓடு முந்திக்கொண்டு
முன்னேறு நீ எட்டும் வரை
தூங்காமல் தேடு என்றும்
வேண்டும் உன்னோடு நீ
Run endlessly until you win,
Overtake others and move forward.
Search sleeplessly until you reach your goal,
Always stay true and win with 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, calling them eyes, you make them sleep.
You say women are the precious gold of the home,
Yet, calling them gold, you keep them locked away.
