யார் சிரித்தால் என்ன

இன்று நேற்று வந்ததெல்லாம்
நாளை மாறலாம்
நீரில் தோன்றும் நிழல்களை போலே
நிலையில்லாமல் போகலாம்
All that arrived today and yesterday
May change tomorrow.
Like shadows appearing on water,
They may fade away without permanence.
இன்று நேற்று வந்ததெல்லாம்

நீரில் தோன்றும் நிழல்களை போலே
நிலையில்லாமல் போகலாம்
All that arrived today and yesterday
May change tomorrow.
Like shadows appearing on water,
They may fade away without permanence.
நான் பார்த்து ஒன்றாக காணலாம்
நீ பார்த்து வேறாக மாறலாம்
தெரிவது ஒன்று புரிவது ஒன்று
மெய் அன்பு பொய்யென்று தோன்றும் போது
What I see might appear as one thing,
What you see might turn into something else.
What is visible is one thing, what is understood is another,
When true love appears to be a lie...
யார் சிரித்தால் என்ன
இங்கு யார் அழுதால் என்ன
What does it matter who laughs?
What does it matter who cries here?
கண் மலர்ந்த பார்வை எல்லாம்
காட்சி ஆகலாம்
காட்சியாக பார்த்ததெல்லாம்
கை வராமல் போகலாம்
பூந்தென்றல் புயலாக மாறலாம்
பொன் வெயில் நிலவாக காணலாம்
வருவது ஒன்று தெரிவது ஒன்று
மெய் அன்பு பொய்யென்று தோன்றும் போது
All the sights that blossom in one's eyes
May become a vivid scene.
All that was seen as a vision
May slip away out of reach.
A gentle breeze may turn into a storm,
Golden sunshine may appear as moonlight.
What arrives is one thing, what appears is another,
When true love appears to be a lie...
யார் சிரித்தால் என்ன

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deeply philosophical track expressing resignation, detachment, and emotional disillusionment. It reflects on the impermanent nature of life, human perspectives, and emotions. The speaker ponders how quickly joy and grief lose their significance when core truths—such as sincere love—are misunderstood or mistrusted.
