வளையும் உலகத்தில்
வழி ஒன்றி தேடுதே
அசையும் இதயங்கள்
கைகோர்த்து நகருதே
In this curving world
It searches for a path
Moving hearts
Move forward holding hands
எனக்குள் நீ சுழல்கிறாய்
சாய்ந்து உறைந்தேன்
உன் மீது குழந்தையாய்
You swirl inside me
I leaned and froze
Like a child upon you
வளையும் உலகத்தில்
வழி ஒன்றி தேடுதே
அசையும் இதயங்கள்
கைகோர்த்து நகருதே
In this curving world
It searches for a path
Moving hearts
Move forward holding hands
எனக்குள் நீ சுழல்கிறாய்
சாய்ந்து உறைந்தேன்
உன் மீது குழந்தையாய்
You swirl inside me
I leaned and froze
Like a child upon you
வேர் அறுத்திடும்
உறவுகள் தரும் அழுத்தங்கள்
விலை போய்விடும்
வெளிப்புறம் கண்ட கனவுகள்
Relationships that sever roots
The pressures they give
Will lose value
Dreams envisioned outside
ஊர் மானம்
என் கற்பில் குடியேறுமோ
நான் நானாக
வாழும் நாள் நெருங்குமோ
உலகத்தில் பெண்
காட்சிப்படுத்தும் உடைமையாய்
எதிர்ப்பினை தினம் மென்று
முழங்கும் முழுமையாய்
தீர்வில்லா சிறை வாழ்க்கையில்
நான் கைதியாய்
The societal honor
Will it reside in my chastity?
The day I live as my true self
Will it draw near?
A woman in this world
Is she a showcase property?
Chewing opposition daily
Swallowing it completely
In a prison life with no solution
Am I a prisoner?
குழப்பங்கள் இந்நொடியில் என்னை
சூழ்ந்திட
கேள்விகள் பல யுகங்கள் தாண்டி
துரத்திட
Confusions in this second
Surround me
Questions crossing many epochs
Chasing me
மாற்றங்கள் நிகழுமா
மனித இனங்கள்
ஒரு கோட்டில் இணையுமா
Will changes happen?
Will human races on a single line
Unite?
