| …………. | In the sky of our life, |
| Male | |
| Nam uyir vaanilae | The face wanes like the moon. |
| Nilavaai mugam theyumae | Searching for your face, |
| Un mugam thediyae | Life will bloom anew. |
| Pudhithai uyir pookumae | You fell down, you fell down, |
| Male | |
| Vizhunthaai vizhunthaai | Just like the rain falls. |
| Mazhai pol vizhavae | Like a seed, you rose up, |

In the sky of our life,
நம் உயிர் வானிலே
நிலவாய் முகம் தேயுமே
உன் முகம் தேடியே
புதிதாய் உயிர் பூக்குமே
The face wanes like the moon.
Searching for your face,
Life will bloom anew.
You fell down, you fell down,
விழுந்தாய் விழுந்தாய்
மழை போல் விழவே
விதை போல் நீ எழுந்தாய்
நிமிர்ந்தாய் வான் தொடவே
Just like the rain falls.
Like a seed, you rose up,
Standing tall to touch the sky.
Blooming even out of fire,
தீயிலே பூக்குமே
நாளையின் ஒளியே
இருள் முகம் திறப்பதால்
விடியுமே விடியுமே
The light of tomorrow.
As the face of darkness unveils,
Dawn will break, dawn will break.
The blood of life,
உயிரின் உதிரம்
வலித்தாலே
உயிர் கண்கள் திறந்திடுமே
நிழலின் பூ முகம் உணர்ந்தாலே
புது நிஜங்கள் பிறந்திடுமே
When it suffers in pain,
The eyes of life will open up.
When the flower-like face of shadow is felt,
New realities will be born.
You fell down, you fell down,
விழுந்தாய் விழுந்தாய்
மழை போல் விழவே
விதை போல் நீ எழுந்தாய்
நிமிர்ந்தாய் வான் தொடவே
Just like the rain falls.
Like a seed, you rose up,
Standing tall to touch the sky.
Blooming even out of fire,
தீயிலே பூக்குமே
நாளையின் ஒளியே
இருள் முகம் திறப்பதால்
விடியுமே விடியுமே
The light of tomorrow.
As the face of darkness unveils,
Dawn will break, dawn will break.
