உனக்கான உலகம்
உதிக்கின்ற தருணம்
இமைக்கின்ற நொடியில்
நிறம் மாறும் முழுதும்
The world meant for you
Is the moment that is dawning now
In the blink of an eye
Everything changes its colors completely
உனக்கான கனவு
இழக்கின்ற பொழுது
பிறர் காணும் கனவு
அவை யாவும் உனது
The dream meant for you
When it arises
The dreams seen by others
All of them become yours
இது காலம் எழுதிடும் கணக்கு
இதை மாற்ற துடிப்பது எதற்கு
அவன் காட்டும் வழி உந்தன் கிழக்கு
சில கோடி இதயம் உன் இலக்கு
This is the calculation written by time
Why struggle to change this destiny?
The path shown by Him/God is your dawn
A few crore hearts are your goal
இது தான் இது தான்
எந்தன் தோற்றம் என்றே
தீயும் நீரும் சொல்லாதென்றும்
This is it, this is it
"My true appearance/origin," so
Let fire and water never dictate
இது தான் இது தான்
எந்தன் பாதை என்றே
வானும் காற்றும் செல்லாதெங்கும்
This is it, this is it
"My designated path," so
Let the sky and wind not proclaim anywhere
திருப்பங்கள் நிகழும் இருதயம் நெகிழும்
சில ஆயிரம் சிறகுகள் சூடிடடி
புது வானில் ஏறிடடி
புதிதாக மாறிடடி ஹோ ஓ ஓ ஹோ ...
Twists and turns will happen
The heart will melt
Wear thousands of wings, dear girl
Soar into a new sky, dear girl
Transform into a new self, dear girl....hoo oo oo ooo
