வா உன் நேரம் வந்ததே
பொன்னாரம் தந்ததே
கண்ணாடி மாளிகை
கையோடு கன்னிகை
Come, your time has arrived
It has gifted a golden garland
A glass palace
A maiden right by your hand
விடாது பாடிடு
வராது மின்தடை
நீ கேட்டா வாழ்க்கை தான்
எப்போதும் ஜாலி தான்
Keep singing without stopping
There will be no power blackout or obstacle
This is indeed the life you asked for
It is always full of fun
இருக்கும் வரைக்கும்
தெறிக்க விடனும் அனுபவி
சிறகை விரித்து பறக்க வேண்டும்
வான் வெளி
As long as life lasts
Make it rock and enjoy it
You must spread your wings and fly
Across the expanse of the sky
பிறந்த பிறப்பு
மீண்டும் வருவதில்லையே
நீ கேட்ட விளையாட்ட
பல்ல நொட்ட
கெட்டி மேளம் போல கொட்டுமே
This life we are born into
Will not come again
Is it the game you asked for?
Plenty of cash notes
It will pour like auspicious festive drums
உன் நேரம் வந்ததே
பொன்னாரம் தந்ததே
கண்ணாடி மாளிகை
கையோடு கன்னிகை
Your time has arrived
It has gifted a golden garland
A glass palace
A maiden right by your hand
விடாது பாடிடு
வராது மின்தடை
நீ கேட்ட வாழ்க்கை தான்
எப்போதும் ஜாலி தான்
Keep singing without stopping
There will be no power blackout or obstacle
This is indeed the life you asked for
It is always full of fun
ஹா நான் தேடி வந்தது
கை கூடி வந்தது
என் வாழ்க்கை என்பது
வந்தாள போவுது
Haa, what I came searching for
Has come together in my hands
What is called my life
Does it come only to leave?
உன் வாழ்க்கை என்பது
நீ வாழ மட்டும் தான்
நீ செல்வம் சேர்த்தது
நீ செலவு செய்யதான்
What is called your life
Is meant only for you to live
The wealth you have accumulated
Is meant for you to spend
தேடி சேர்த்து
பூட்டு போட்டு வைத்தது
அதை திறந்தெடுத்து
செலவு செய்தால் நல்லது
Gathered after searching
Locked up in safe keeping
Unlocking and taking it out
And spending it is good
வாழும்போது வாழ தானே
செல்வமே
நீ போடு புது ரூட்டு விளையாட்டு
வயசு தேஞ்சு போகும் முன்னமே
To live while we are alive
Is the true wealth
Set off on a new route and play
Before your age wears out
நான் தேடி வந்தது
கை கூடி வந்தது
என் வாழ்க்கை என்பது
வந்தாள போவுது
What I came searching for
Has come together in my hands
What is called my life
Does it come only to leave?
உன் வாழ்க்கை என்பது
நீ வாழ மட்டும் தான்
நீ செல்வம் சேர்த்தது
நீ செலவு செய்யதான்
What is called your life
Is meant only for you to live
The wealth you have accumulated
Is meant for you to spend

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song is a celebratory, carpe diem anthem encouraging a person to enjoy life to the fullest once prosperity and success arrive. It emphasizes that human life is a one-time opportunity and that accumulating wealth without spending or enjoying it is meaningless. One should break free from unnecessary restraints, fly high, and live life joyously before old age catches up.
