பட்டாம் பூச்சிக்கு
கனவுகள்தான்
வானில் பறக்க கூடாதா
இதயம் ஏங்குமா
வலிகள் தாங்குமா
For a butterfly
Can't its dreams
Fly high in the sky?
Will the heart long?
Will it endure the pain?
சின்ன சின்ன
திறமைகள்தான்
வெளியே ஒருநாள் வாராத
உலகம் சாடுமா
கதவை மூடுமா
Small, little
Talents indeed
Won't they come out one day?
Will the world scold?
Will it close the door?
விழும் பனியின் துளிகளே
முத்து போல மாறும்
தெரு ஓர திறமைகள்
என்று மேடை ஏறும்
வரும் காலமே மாறுமே
வானம் கையில் சேரும்
Falling drops of dew
Will transform like pearls
Street-side talents
When will they step onto the stage?
The coming time will change
The sky will reach your hands

நிலவும் பவனி வரும் பொழுது
ஜன்னல் சாத்தி கொண்டாலும்
நிலவு தேயுமா
அழகு சாயுமா
When the moon comes out on procession
At that time
Even if you close the window
Will the moon wane?
Will its beauty fade?
வண்ண பறவை
சிறகுகளை
வலையில் கட்டி போட்டாலும்
பறவை தூங்குமா
ஊமை ஆகுமா
A colorful bird
Its wings
Even if tied in a net
Will the bird sleep?
Will it become mute?
பசியோடு இருந்தவன்
கனவு என்னாகும்
உயிரற்ற சடலம் போல்
கணம் கூடி ஏங்கும்
விதி என்பதையே தீர்ப்பெனில்
திறமைகென்ன வேலை
The one who lived with hunger
What will happen to his dream?
Like a lifeless body
Heavy grief accumulates and longs
If fate is the ultimate verdict
What is the purpose of talent?
