வீழ்வேனா ஒய்வேனா
நான் வாழ்வேனா
நான் வாழ்வேனா
Will I fall, will I tire out?
Will I live?
Will I live?
எங்கே கனா
வழி எங்கும் வினா
நான் வாழ்வேனா
நான் வாழ்வேனா
Where is the dream?
Questions all along the path
Will I live?
Will I live?
வானை நோக்கியே கடல் நானா
ஏங்கி ஏங்கியே கரைவேனா
Am I the sea looking up at the sky?
Will I dissolve away yearning endlessly?
ஹம்மிங் :
………….
I live like a wave
I will rise again
I live like a dream
One day I will conquer
நான் அலையாய் வாழ்கிறேன்
மீண்டும் எழுவேனே
ஓர் கனவாய் வாழ்கிறேன்
ஒரு நாள் வெல்வேனே
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow—all three
I support myself and stand strong forever
Even when the town and the world oppose me
I comfort myself and keep walking on
நேற்று இன்று நாளை மூன்றுமே
நானே என்னைத் தாங்கி என்றும் நிற்கிறேன்
ஊரும் உலகம் எதிர்க்கும் போதுமே
நானே என்னை தேற்றி நடந்து போகிறேன்
Searching for my path
Chasing the dream
I walk every day
All alone, all alone
என் பாதை தேடியே
கனவை துரத்தியே
தினமும் நடக்கிறேன்
தனியே தனியே
A hundred directions bestowing wounds
The forests and mountains crossed by my feet
காயங்கள் வழங்கும் நூறு திசைகளும்
என் கால்கள் கடக்கும் காடு மலைகளும்
I live like a wave
I will rise again
I live like a dream
One day I will conquer
{நான் அலையாய் வாழ்கிறேன்
மீண்டும் எழுவேனே
ஓர் கனவாய் வாழ்கிறேன்
ஒரு நாள் வெல்வேனே} (3)

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song expresses profound resilience, existential questioning, and inner strength in the face of daunting life challenges. The protagonist begins with moments of doubt, wondering if they will survive or fall amidst endless uncertainty. Using imagery of the sea gazing at the sky and waves crashing only to rise again, the song encapsulates the spirit of perseverance. Despite facing loneliness, emotional wounds, and opposition from the world, the speaker finds strength within themselves. They act as their own support system across the past, present, and future, remaining steadfast in chasing their dreams and believing that they will ultimately triumph.
