யார் வழியில் யார் மொழியில் யார் துணையில்
விடைகள் வந்து சேருமோ
யார் விதியில் யார் சதியில் யார் மதியில்
தடைகள் வந்து நேருமோ
In whose path, through whose words, with whose support
Will the answers arrive?
In whose fate, through whose plot, in whose wisdom
Will obstacles confront us?
தீர்வுகள் இன்றியே
பயணம் தான் நீளுமோ
தொடர்ந்திடும் துன்பத்தை
இதயம் தான் தாங்குமோ
எத்திசை எமக்கென
விடியல்தனை காட்டுமோ
எவ்வழி நம்பிக்கை
நம்மை வந்து சேருமோ
Will this journey extend endlessly without resolution?
Will the heart endure this continuous sorrow?
In which direction will the dawn show itself to us?
Through which way will hope reach us?
எதுவும் கடந்து போகும்
என நினைத்தோம்
யாவும் பொய்தானோ
விதியே வென்று தீரும்
என படித்தோம் யாவும் மெய்தானோ
That 'this too shall pass'
Was everything we believed a lie?
That 'destiny shall ultimately prevail'
Is everything we read true?
யாரிடம் முறையிட
யாருமில்லை விடையை சொல்லிட
யாரோ தொடர்ந்த வழக்கு
விடியல்தனை தருமா நமக்கு
பாவம் நமது இலக்கு
நடை தளர்ந்து முடமாய் கிடக்கு
To whom can we complain? There is no one to give an answer
A lawsuit pursued by someone unknown
Will it bring us a new dawn?
Alas, our loss is great
Lying paralyzed with weary steps
முன்வினை என்பது
பின்வினை தேடுமோ
ஒருவழி பாதையில்
வாழ்க்கைதான் ஓடுமோ
காரணம் யாரென்று
கடவுளை கேட்பதா
காலத்தை கேட்பதா
யார் இங்கு பேசுவார்
Will past actions seek future consequences?
Does life run on a one-way street?
Should we ask God who the cause is,
Or ask Time? Who will speak here?
ஆகாயம் போலத்தான்
அடங்காத கேள்விகள்
விடைதேட தேடத்தான்
விரிசல்கள் நூறு
பலநேரம் வாழ்க்கைக்கு
பலியாகும் மானுடம்
பறிபோன யாவையும்
கிடைக்காது மீண்டும்
Uncontrollable questions vast like the sky
The more we seek answers, the more hundreds of cracks appear
Many times humanity becomes a sacrifice to life
All that is lost can never be retrieved again
.
...............................
How far will tomorrow extend?
Will rays of hope survive until then?
All thoughts are like a spider's web
Tangled in complications, scattering away
நாளைகள் என்பது
எதுவரையில் நீளுமோ
நம்பிக்கை கீற்றுகள்
அதுவரையில் வாழுமோ
சிலந்தியின் கூடென
சிந்தனைகள் யாவுமே
சிக்கல்களில் ஆடுதே
சிதறித்தான் போகுதே
Who is directing this unwritten drama here?
Who will tell what the conclusion is?
In an unknown path, incomprehensible searches
Wandering everywhere, yet there is no answer here
எழுதாத நாடகம்
இயக்குவது யாரிங்கே
முடிவென்ன என்பதும்
யார் சொல்வாரோ
தெரியாத பாதையில்
புரியாத தேடல்கள்
எங்கெங்கோ போகுதே
விடை இங்கு இல்லையே
That 'this too shall pass'
Was everything we believed a lie?
That 'destiny shall ultimately prevail'
Is everything we read true?
எதுவும் கடந்து போகும்
என நினைத்தோம் யாவும் பொய்தானோ
விதியே வென்று தீரும்
என படித்தோம் யாவும் மெய்தானோ
To whom can we complain? There is no one to give an answer
A lawsuit pursued by someone unknown
Will it bring us a new dawn?
Alas, our loss is great
Lying paralyzed with weary steps
யாரிடம் முறையிட
யாருமில்லை விடையை சொல்லிட
யாரோ தொடர்ந்த வழக்கு
விடியல்தனை தருமா நமக்கு
பாவம் நமது இலக்கு
நடை தளர்ந்து முடமாய் கிடக்கு
In whose path, through whose words, with whose support
Will the answers arrive?
In whose fate, through whose plot, in whose wisdom
Will obstacles confront us?
யார் வழியில் யார் மொழியில் யார் துணையில்
விடைகள் வந்து சேருமோ
யார் விதியில் யார் சதியில் யார் மதியில்
தடைகள் வந்து நேருமோ
Yaar vazhiyil yaar mozhiyil yaar thunaiyil
In whose path, through whose words, with whose support
Vidaigal vandhu serumo
Will the answers arrive?

Edhuvum kadandhu pogum
That 'this too shall pass'
Ena ninaithom yaavum poidhaano
Was everything we believed a lie?
Vidhiyae vendru theerum
That 'destiny shall ultimately prevail'
Ena padithom yaavum meidhaano
Is everything we read true?

Paavam namadhu izhakku
Alas, our loss is great
Nadai thalarndhu mudamaai kidakku

Oru vazhi padhaiyil vazhkai dhaan odumo
Does life run on a one-way street?
Kaaranam yaarendru kadavulai ketpadha
Should we ask God who the cause is,
Kalathai ketpadha yaar ingu pesuvaar
Or ask Time? Who will speak here?
Aagayam pola thaan adangadha kelvigal
Uncontrollable questions vast like the sky
Vidai theda theda thaan virisalgal nooru
