வா தோழனே
என்னோடு ஊர் விட்டோடி
காற்றை சுவாசிக்கலாம்
Come with me, my friend,
Let us escape the city and breathe the open air.
நாற்காலிகள்
மேசைகள் நாள் தோறுமே
தேய்த்தோமே மேற்
கூரையாய் வானம்
நேசிக்கலாம்
Chairs and tables,
We wore them down every single day.
Let us love the open sky as our roof.
கொப்புகளோடு
கொட்டிய குப்பை கோப்பைகள்
முட்டி மறந்திடுவோம் பகல்
இரவைந்தும் நிகழ்த்திய
தப்பை ஓர் இரு நாட்கள்
துறந்திடுவோம்
The trash piled up along with files,
Let us clink glasses and forget them all.
The mistakes made across five days and nights,
Let us abandon them for a couple of days.
தோள்கள் உரசி பேசி

To sit close, shoulder to shoulder, and chat,

விரிவுரை எல்லாம்
வரி வரியாக எழுதி விரலும்
தேய்ந்ததே அறிவுரை கேட்டு
சரி சரி சொல்லி வறண்டு
குரலும் காய்ந்ததே
Writing lecture notes line by line,
Our fingers wore out.
Listening to advice and nodding 'yes, yes',
Our dry throat dried up completely.
தேயும் நிலவென
புன்னகையும் சுருங்கி
யானை மிதி படும்
அப்பளமாய் நொறுங்கி
Like a waning moon,
The smile shrank,
Stepped on by an elephant,
Crushed like a crisp papad!
ஞானம் பிறக்க
ஞாலம் சிறக்க வார
கடைசி வந்ததடா
மேற்கில் பார்க்க
ரெக்கை விரிக்க வார
கடைசி வந்ததடா
For wisdom to dawn and the world to excel,
The weekend has arrived!
To look towards the west and spread our wings,
The weekend has arrived!
சங்கை ஊதி திங்கள்
வந்தது ஜவ்வாய் மாறி
செவ்வாய் வந்தது பூதம்
போல் ஒரு புதனும் வந்திடும்
வியாதி தீயென வியாழன்
வந்ததும் கொள்ளும்
Blowing the conch, Monday arrived,
Turning like bad luck, Tuesday arrived,
Wednesday arrived like a monster,
Thursday arrived like a deadly burning fever,
கவலை கிடமாய்
நிலைமை நிலைமை
தொடரும் தொடரும்
தொடரும் தொடருமே
A situation full of worries,
Continues, continues, continues, continues!
ஆ வெள்ளிகிழமை
வந்தால் ஏனோ உள்ளம்
உச்சம் துள்ளுதோ யார்
கையிலே யார் பையிலே
இன்னும் மிச்சம் உள்ளதோ
Ahh... when Friday arrives, why does
The heart jump to its peak?
In whose hand or in whose pocket,
Is there any money remaining?
வார் கோதுமை
கல்லோடு வா தோழனே
என்னோடு ஊர் விட்டோடி
காற்றை சுவாசிக்கலாம்
With a glass of wheat beer,
Come with me, my friend,
Let us escape the city and breathe the open air.
பொன்மாலை பொழுது
.........................................
Golden evening time...
...
ஹே புத்தகம்
எல்லாம் மூளை திணித்தே
மந்தையில் ஆடாகினோம்
Hey... all the books
Stuffed into our brain,
We turned into sheep in a herd.
ஆந்தைகள் போலே
கண்கள் விழித்தே
மண்டையில் சூடாகினோம்
Like owls,
With eyes wide open,
We heated up our heads.
நுரையீரல் எல்லாம்
வகுப்பறை வாசம் அதை
நீக்க தானே வழி தேடினோம்
All our lungs
Smelled of classroom air,
To clear that out,
We searched for a way!
நுனி நாக்கும்
தானாய் ஆங்கிலம்
பேசும் அதை பூக்க
தானே தமிழ் பாடினோம்
The tip of the tongue automatically
Spoke in English,
To heal that habit,
We sang in Tamil!
நிலவோடு கரைகள்
குறையில்லை என்றே
அளவோடு ஏதும்
பிழையில்லை என்றே
என்றே என்றே
The spots on the moon
Are not flaws,
Nothing done in moderation is a mistake,
Indeed... indeed... indeed...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Vaara Kadaisi' from the 2012 movie 'Ponmaalai Pozhudhu' is a high-energy youth anthem celebrating the arrival of the weekend. Lyricist Madhan Karky paints a vivid picture of the stress, exhaustion, and monotonous routine experienced by students and young adults throughout the weekdays—from the dread of Monday to the fatigue of Thursday. The lyrics express the overwhelming relief and joy that Friday brings, inviting friends to shut down their phones, leave behind textbooks and lectures, and unwind with friends over drinks to recharge their spirit.
