| Male | |
| Vidhi maarudhaa | Is fate changing? |
| Vidai thdudhaa | Is a search for answers starting? |
| Un vaaname kudai saayudha | Is your sky tilting its umbrella? |
| Pudhir aanadha | Has it become a puzzle? |
| Puriyadhadha | Is it uncomprehended? |
| Puvi maiyame thadumarudha | Is the center of the earth stumbling? |
| Male | |
| Nee siraginai virithida | Just as you yearned |
| Thudithidum velaiyil | To spread your wings, |
| Koodedhaan kalaiyaadhaa | Doesn't the nest itself get ruined? |
| Un maaligai mel oru | Upon your palace, |
| Idi ondru vilunthida | When a thunderbolt strikes, |
| Thugazhaai ponadhaa | Did it reduce to tiny specks of dust? |
| Male | |
| Nee kanda un kanavugal | The dreams you envisioned, |
| Sila nodigalil kalaindhidum | Dispersing within a few seconds, |
| Megam pol maraiyaadhaa | Won't they vanish like a cloud? |
| Idhai endrenum nee sindhithaaya | Did you ever think about this? |
| Male | |
| Vaazhnthaaya veezhnthaaya indru | Did you live or did you fall today? |
| Vendraaya nindraaya endru | Did you win or did you stand defeated? |
| Ezhunthaaya mudinthaaya | Did you rise or are you finished |
| Un kadhaiyil | In your own story? |
| Male | |
| Valarattil oru pakkam vanga | Craving a side in prosperity, |
| Alaindhaaye un kaalgal yenga | You wandered until your legs yearned; |
| Padaithannai izhandhenna saadhithaai | What did you achieve by losing your army |
| Un porkalathil | In your battlefield? |
| Un porkalathil | In your battlefield? |
| Male | |
| Oodum neerile or ilai polave | Like a leaf floating in running water, |
| Thavarindri midhandhida | If it drifts without fault, |
| Vidhi karai serkkumae | Fate itself will guide it to the shore. |
| Kaayam aarumae kaar irul neengumae | Wounds will heal, deep darkness will vanish, |
| Kani tharum maramena | Like a fruit-bearing tree, |
| Kaalamum koorumae | Time itself will tell. |
| Male | |
| Indha vaazhve naadagam | This life is a drama, |
| Nadigarae yaavarum | Everyone is an actor; |
| Engo undhan vedam | Somewhere your disguise |
| Kalainthidum udai padum | Will fade and break apart, |
| Kaalam varum | That time will come. |
| Male | |
| Un ilakkinai jeyithida | To conquer your target, |
| Odiya ottangal | All the runs you ran, |
| Sertha idam paarthaayaa | Have you seen where they brought you? |

விதி மாறுதா
விடை தேடுதா
உன் வானமே குடை சாயுதா
புதிர் ஆனதா
புரியாததா
புவி மையமே தடுமாறுதா
Is fate changing?
Is a search for answers starting?
Is your sky tilting its umbrella?
Has it become a puzzle?
Is it uncomprehended?
Is the center of the earth stumbling?
நீ சிறகினை விரித்திட
துடித்திடும் வேளையில்
கூடேதான் கலையாதா
உன் மாளிகை மேல் ஒரு
இடி ஒன்று விழுந்திட
துகளாய் போனதா
Just as you yearned
To spread your wings,
Doesn't the nest itself get ruined?
Upon your palace,
When a thunderbolt strikes,
Did it reduce to tiny specks of dust?
நீ கண்ட உன் கனவுகள்
சில நொடிகளில் கலைந்திடும்
மேகம் போல் மறையாதா
இதை என்றென்னும் நீ சிந்தித்தாயா
The dreams you envisioned,
Dispersing within a few seconds,
Won't they vanish like a cloud?
Did you ever think about this?
வாழ்ந்தாயா வீழ்ந்தாயா இன்று
வென்றாயா நின்றாயா எங்கு
எழுந்தாயா முடிந்தாயா
உன் கதையில்
Did you live or did you fall today?
Did you win or did you stand defeated?
Did you rise or are you finished
In your own story?
வரலாற்றில் ஒரு பக்கம் வாங்க
அலைந்தாயே உன் கால்கள் ஏங்க
படைதன்னை இழந்தென்ன
சாதித்தாய்
உன் போர்க்களத்தில்
உன் போர்க்களத்தில்
Craving a side in prosperity,
You wandered until your legs yearned;
What did you achieve by losing your army
In your battlefield?
In your battlefield?
ஓடும் நீரிலே ஓர் இலை போலவே
தவறின்றி மிதந்திடு
விதி கரை சேர்க்குமே
காயம் ஆறுமே காரிருள்
நீங்குமே
கனி தரும் மரமென
காலமும் கூறுமே
Like a leaf floating in running water,
If it drifts without fault,
Fate itself will guide it to the shore.
Wounds will heal, deep darkness will vanish,
Like a fruit-bearing tree,
Time itself will tell.
இந்த வாழ்வே நாடகம்
நடிகரே யாவரும்
என்றோ உந்தன் வேடம்
கலைந்திடும் உடை படும்
உன் மனம்
This life is a drama,
Everyone is an actor;
Somewhere your disguise
Will fade and break apart,
That time will come.
உன் இழக்கினை ஜெயித்திட
ஓடிய ஓட்டங்கள்
சேர்த்த இடம் பார்த்தாயா
அது நீ துவங்கிய
முதல் கோடென்று தெரிந்த பின்
To conquer your target,
All the runs you ran,
Have you seen where they brought you?
Once you realize that it is the very starting line
Where you first began,
வாழ்ந்தாயா வீழ்ந்தாயா இன்று
வென்றாயா நின்றாயா எங்கு
எழுந்தாயா முடிந்தாயா
உன் கதையில்
Did you live or did you fall today?
Did you win or did you stand defeated?
Did you rise or are you finished
In your own story?
வரலாற்றில் ஒரு பக்கம் வாங்க
அலைந்தாயே உன் கால்கள் ஏங்க
படைதன்னை இழந்தென்ன
சாதித்தாய்
உன் போர்க்களத்தில்
உன் போர்க்களத்தில்
Craving a side in prosperity,
You wandered until your legs yearned;
What did you achieve by losing your army
In your battlefield?
In your battlefield?
