| Yengengum vaanam | The sky is everywhere, |

| Nee yaarao yaarennna | No matter who you are, |
| Yaar pechum kekkaadha | Don't listen to anyone's words. |
| Thee yaaro yaarunnu | Fire doesn't care who anyone is, |
| Paakadhu daaa… | It doesn't look at status, man! |
| Male | |
| Keezhenna melenna | High or low, what does it matter? |

எங்கெங்கும் வானம்
எங்கேயும் நீ போலாம் போடா
எங்கெங்கும் பூமி
எங்கேயும் நீ வரலாம் வா டா
The sky is everywhere,
You can go anywhere, come on man!
The earth is everywhere,
You can come anywhere, come on!
கண்ணங் கரிகாலா
மண்ணெல்லாம் உன்னோட நாடு
தன்னந்தனி ஆளா
தயங்காத முன்னால ஓடு
With pitch-black feet,
The whole earth is your country.
As a solitary person,
Don't hesitate, run forward!
நீ யாரோ யாரென்ன
யார் பேச்சும் கேக்காதா
தீ யாரோ யாருன்னு
பாக்காது டா…
No matter who you are,
Don't listen to anyone's words.
Fire doesn't care who anyone is,
It doesn't look at status, man!
கீழென்ன மேலென்ன
நீயென்ன நானென்ன
புயலாக நீ நின்னா
தாங்காதுடா
High or low, what does it matter?
Who are you, who am I?
If you stand tall like a storm,
Nothing can withstand you, man!
எங்க நான் போகனும்
எங்க நான் வாழனம்
என்ன நான் திங்கனும்
நீ ஏதும் சொல்லாதே
Where I should go,
Where I should live,
What I should eat,
Don't tell me any of that!
என்ன நான் பேசனும்
என்ன நான் கேக்கனும்
என்ன நான் பாக்கனும்
ஆர்டர் நீ போடாத
What I should speak,
What I should hear,
What I should see,
Don't give me orders!
நீரோட்டமா
அட நீ ஓடினா
தேரோட்டமா
உன் வாழ்வோடுமே
Like a flowing stream of water,
Hey, if you run,
Like a grand chariot procession,
Your life will move forward!
போரட்டமே
நீ போகும் பாத
போராடினா
உன்ன தாலாட்டுமே
Even if life is a struggle,
The path you walk on,
If you fight through it,
It will rock you like a lullaby!
ஓடாத காலெல்லாம்
தேடாதே பாததான்
தீயில்லா தீக்குச்சி
தேவயில்லைதான்
Feet that do not run,
Will never find their way.
A matchstick without fire,
Is completely useless!
தூரத்த பாக்காத்த
பாரத்த சேக்காத
காலத்த ஏய்க்காத
வாய்ப்ப விடாத
Don't stare at the distance,
Don't accumulate burdens,
Don't waste time,
Don't let go of opportunities!
எங்க நான் போகனும்
எங்க நான் வாழனம்
என்ன நான் திங்கனும்
நீ ஏதும் சொல்லாதே
Where I should go,
Where I should live,
What I should eat,
Don't tell me any of that!
என்ன நான் பேசனும்
என்ன நான் கேக்கனும்
என்ன நான் பாக்கனும்
