ஆறாய் மனம் ஆறாய் மனம்
முடிவிலி ஆறாகவே
பாயும் உந்தன் அலைகளின் மேலே
ஓர் எதிர் ஒளி போலே நான்
Search your mind, search your mind
As an endless river
Upon your flowing waves
I am like an echo
ஆறாய் மனம் ஆறாய் மனம்
விரைந்திடும் ஆறாகவே
நீளும் அதன் கரைகளின் மேலே
கால் தடங்களை போலே நீ
Search your mind, search your mind
As a rushing river
Upon its stretching banks
You are like footprints
இதழ் மேலே
அணியும் புன்னகையும்
விழியுள்ளே புதையும்
கண்ணீரும்
மனமெல்லாம் கனக்கும்
நினைவுகளோடு
முன்னே செல்கின்றேன்
Upon the lips
The worn smile
Buried inside the eyes
And the tears
With memories
That weigh down the heart
I move forward
நீ ஒரு தினம்
காதல் பாய்கிறாய்
ஏன் மறுதினம்
காய்ந்து போகிறாய்
நீ என்னை எங்கே
கொண்டு செல்கிறாய்
என் விதி நதியே
You, one day
Flow with love
Why, the next day
Do you dry up?
Where are you
Taking me?
Oh my river of fate
நீ ஒரு கணம்
பாடல் ஆகிறாய்
ஏன் மறுகணம்
தேய்ந்து போகிறாய்
நீ என்னை எங்கே
கொண்டு செல்கிறாய்
என் விதி நதியே....
என் விதி நதியே....
You, one moment
Become a song
Why, the next moment
Do you fade away?
Where are you
Taking me?
Oh my river of fate...
Oh my river of fate...
எனக்காய் சில பூக்கள்
பிறக்காதா......
திறக்காதா.....
எனக்காய் சில தூறல்
மலர்வாயா
வின் கிளையே
For me, a few flowers
Haven't been born...
Haven't opened...
For me, a few drizzles
Will you blossom
Oh branch of the sky?
சில ஆசைகளை
நிறைவேற்றித்தான்
பல ஆசைகளை நுரைபோல்
ஆக்கினாய்
ஒரு நாள் வீழா
மறு நாள் மீள
என் நெஞ்சுக்குள்
சொல்லித்தந்தாய்
By fulfilling only a few desires
You turned many desires into foam
To fall on one day
To rise on the next day
You taught my heart
நீ ஒரு தினம்
காதல் பாய்கிறாய்
ஏன் மறுதினம்
காய்ந்து போகிறாய்
நீ என்னை எங்கே
கொண்டு செல்கிறாய்
என் விதி நதியே
: You, one day
Flow with love
Why, the next day
Do you dry up?
Where are you
Taking me?
Oh my river of fate...
நீ ஒரு கணம்
பாடல் ஆகிறாய்
ஏன் மறுகணம்
தேய்ந்து போகிறாய்
நீ என்னை எங்கே
கொண்டு செல்கிறாய்
என் விதி நதியே....
என் விதி நதியே....
என் விதி நதியே....
You, one moment
Become a song
Why, the next moment
Do you fade away?
Where are you
Taking me?
Oh my river of fate...
Oh my river of fate...
Oh my river of fate...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Vidhi Nadhiyae' explores the unpredictable and dual nature of destiny by comparing life's journey to a flowing river. The protagonist reflects on emotional highs and lows—moments when fate offers love and harmony like a song, contrasted with times when joy fades away and leaves sorrow behind. Through metaphors of flowing waters, footprints on riverbanks, and foam made from shattered desires, the lyrics express the speaker's surrender to fate while learning to rise again after every fall.
