யார் பார்த்தது வானில் பூரணம்
யார் வாழ்ந்தது வாழ்க்கை யாவையும்
நாம் வந்தது சென்று சேரவே
கண் நீரினில் நன்றி கூறவே
Who has seen perfection in the sky?
Who has lived life in its entirety?
We came here only to reach our final destination,
And to express our gratitude through tears.
ஓசைகள் உயிர் ஓசைகள்
உண்மை நெஞ்சில் ஒளி ஏற்றுமே
பாசமே அது போதுமே
அன்பின் வண்ணம் நம்மை தீட்டுமே
Sounds, life-giving sounds,
Will kindle light in a truthful heart.
Affection alone is sufficient,
The colors of love will paint us.
நாம் காற்றிடம் மூச்சை வாங்கினோம்
நாள் தீர்ந்ததும் தந்து போகிறோம்
We borrowed our breath from the wind,
When our days are up, we shall return it and leave.
சொந்த உறவோ
வந்த உறவோ
சகலமும் மாயம்
இந்த பொழுதே
இந்த நொடியும்
இருவரும் போய் சேரும்
Whether relations of blood,
Or relations formed along the way,
Everything is an illusion.
This very moment,
This split second,
Both of us will reach our destination.
அன்பு மனங்கள்
கொண்ட விரல்கள்
தலையினை கோதும்
வெள்ளை மனதில்
வேறு நிறங்கள்
இணைவதும் ஊர் சாபம்
Loving hearts,
Fingers that hold,
Will gently stroke the head.
In a pure white heart,
Other colors,
Merging is a curse of this world.
வாசம் தரும் வார்த்தை
அதை யார்தான் அறிவார்
பேசும் குயில் நேசம்
அதை யார்தான் வரைவார்
Words that bestow fragrance,
Who indeed can truly understand them?
The love of a speaking cuckoo,
Who can ever paint or portray it?
நதியிலே இலையென
பயணம் நாம் போகிறோம்
கரைகளின் மரங்களை
விடை நாம் கூறினோம்
எளிய....உயிர்கள்....போய் சேர்கிறோம்
Like a leaf floating in a river,
We travel on this journey.
To the trees along the riverbanks,
We bid our farewell.
Simple lives... we reach our final end.
யார் பார்த்தது வானில் பூரணம்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This soulful song reflects deeply on the impermanent nature of life, human relationships, and ultimate destiny. It poses existential questions about whether anyone can ever achieve complete perfection or total fulfillment in life. Using poignant imagery, the song portrays human life as a temporary journey, where breath itself is merely borrowed from the wind and returned upon departure. Relationships and worldly attachments are described as illusions, yet affection, empathy, and genuine love remain the guiding forces that brighten the soul. Ultimately, the lyrics convey acceptance of life's transient journey, comparing human souls to leaves drifting down a river, bidding farewell to the banks as they move toward their final resting place.
