Aagasam Lyrics Translation (from “Soorarai Pottru”)
Arunraja Kamaraj contrasts dismissive critics with resilient dreamers. Christin Jos and Govind Vasantha deliver lines about forging wings from scrap iron. One verse states spectators earn no respect while trying brings lasting recognition.

Ye Agasam Eppodhum Podhuthan Da IngaHey, the sky’s always been big enough for all of us here,
Ada Avagasam Vangi Adha Pudipoma DaSo let’s just grab our chance and seize it,
Nee Vesham Podu Koottam Adha Marappom Da KonjamLet’s forget about that crowd of fakers for a while,
Irumbala Rekka Senji Ini Parappoma DaAnd make some wings from iron scraps so we can finally fly.
Vetti Pasanga Vela IdhunnuThey’ll say this is just the work of some useless kids,
Solluravanga Veththu PayagaBut the ones who say it are the worthless ones themselves,
Vettri Vandha Vatti MudhalaWhen we succeed, they’ll be the first in line,
Vandhu Ilipainga Echa PayagaComing up to us with a grin, those despicable scavengers.
Vetti Pasanga Vela IdhunnuCalling our work a good-for-nothing pastime,
Solluravanga Veththu PayagaThe people who say that are truly just empty souls,
Vettri Vandha Vatti MudhalaBut once we’ve won, they’ll be the first,
Vandhu Ilipainga Echa PayagaTo show up with a smile, like the parasites they are.
Ingu Irukkuda VanamThe sky is right here,
Adha Etti Pudikka Va NalumCome on, friend, let’s reach out and grab it,

Nilava Dhenam ThorathiponaIf you spend your days chasing the moon,
Vayasu Illa PangaliYou don’t have that kind of time, my friend,
Kanava Ini ThorathiponaBut if you start chasing your dream now,
Kavala Illa KootaliThere’s nothing to worry about, my ally.
Thoththa Kooda Parava IllaEven if you lose, it doesn’t matter,
Ulgam Unna MarakadheThe world won’t forget you,
Vedikka Mattum ParthaIf you just stand by and watch,
Veththa Kooda MadhikadheEven the dust won’t respect you.
Vetri Yedhum PakathaIf it’s a battle that hasn’t yet found a victory,
Porattama IrundhakaIt can’t become a celebration that’s never known failure.
Tholvi Yedhum TheriyadhaA struggle that doesn’t know defeat,
Kondattama MaradhaCan’t transform into a true celebration.
Unna Pola YaralumNo one else out there,
Unna Vazha MudiyadheCan ever live your life for you,
Nanban Kooda NinnakaAnd if a true friend stands by your side,
Unna Veztha MudiyadheThen no one can ever bring you down.
