வானம் தூரம் இல்லை
தொடும் நேரம் தடைகள் இல்லை
தடுமாறும் உந்தன் பாதம்
தடம் சேரும் நேர ஜாலம்
யாரும் துணையும் இல்லை
கண்ணீரும் துளியும் இல்லை
கனவோடு விடியும் காலை
நிஜமாகும் வேலை நாளை
The sky is not far away
When the time comes to touch it, there are no obstacles
Your faltering feet
Will miraculously find their path in time
There is no companion by your side
There is not even a drop of tear
The morning that dawns with a dream
Will become reality tomorrow
பல நூறு விதை தூவும் போதும்
சில நூறு வாழும்
பயமென்ன தனி இல்லை இங்கே நீ நீ
Even when hundreds of seeds are sown
Only a few hundred survive
Why fear? You are not alone here, you, you
கனவிருந்தால்
கண்கள் திறந்தாள் வா
விடியும் உன் இருளே
துணிவு இருந்தால்
துணிந்து நடந்தால்
இனி விதி கூட துகளே
If you have a dream
Open your eyes and come forward
Your darkness will dawn into light
If you have courage
If you walk forward boldly
From now on, even destiny is a mere speck of dust
கனவிருந்தால்
கண்கள் திறந்தாள் வா
விடியும் உன் இருளே
துணிவு இருந்தால்
துணிந்து நடந்தால்
இனி விதி கூட துகளே
If you have a dream
Open your eyes and come forward
Your darkness will dawn into light
If you have courage
If you walk forward boldly
From now on, even destiny is a mere speck of dust
கடல் தாண்டும் பறவை எல்லாம்
இளைப்பாற மரங்கள் இல்லை
ஆனாலும் கடலை தாண்டும்
அது போல நெஞ்சம் வேண்டும்
கடுந்தூறல் ஓய்ந்த பின்னே
உருவாகும் வானவில்லும்
நிகழ காலம் தாண்டி வந்தாள்
வருங்காலம் வாரிக் கொள்ளும்
For all the birds that cross the ocean
There are no trees to rest upon
Yet they cross the vast sea
A heart strong like that is needed
After the heavy downpour ceases
A beautiful rainbow will form
If you overcome the present present time
The future will embrace you warmly
மழை தூறல் முடிந்தாலும் கூட
கிளை மீண்டும் தூறும்
தயங்காதே நடை போடு
முன்னே நீ நீ
Even if the rain shower comes to an end
The tree branch will drop water again
Do not hesitate, keep marching forward
Ahead, you lead on, you, you
கனவிருந்தால்
கண்கள் திறந்தாள் வா
விடியும் உன் இருளே
துணிவு இருந்தால்
துணிந்து நடந்தால்
இனி விதி கூட துகளே
If you have a dream
Open your eyes and come forward
Your darkness will dawn into light
If you have courage
If you walk forward boldly
From now on, even destiny is a mere speck of dust
கனவிருந்தால்
கண்கள் திறந்தாள் வா
விடியும் உன் இருளே
