ஏதேதோ மாற்றங்கள்
ஏன் இந்த மாற்றங்கள்
மாறாத ஒன்று
குழு :
இங்கேது
Various kinds of changes,
Why these changes?
Is there anything unchanging
Chorus: Here?
உல்லாசம் உற்சாகம்
ஒரு நாளில் கனவாகும்
எல்லாமே மாறும் மண் மீது
Joy and enthusiasm
Will turn into a dream in just one day.
Everything on this earth will change.
சில மாற்றங்கள் சற்றென்றுதான்
உண்டாகுமே நம் வாழ்விலே
பல கேள்விக்கு விடை
இல்லையே இங்கே.....
Some changes happen all of a sudden
In our lives.
There are no answers to many questions here...
மனதினில் மாற்றம் நேர்ந்ததால்
ஒரு நொடி போதுமே....ஓ...
இவனுக்கு என்ன நேர்ந்ததோ
இது ஒரு மாயமே ஓ....
If a change occurs within the mind,
A single second is enough...
What happened to him...
This is a mystery/illusion...
திசைகளும் பயணமும் மாறுதே
இயல்புகள் மாறுமே ஓ....
மாற்றங்கள் தானே வாழ்க்கையின்
இலக்கணம் ஆகுமே ஓ.....
Directions and the journey keep changing,
Inherent human traits will change...
Change itself is life's

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song presents a deep philosophical reflection on the inevitability of change in human life. It contemplates how internal and external circumstances alter rapidly, turning moments of joy and passion into distant dreams overnight. The lyrics ponder why these unpredictable shifts happen, noting that many questions in life remain unanswered.
