Friendship Paattu Lyrics Translation – Kalathil Santhippom (2020) Soundtrack
Viveka describes friends who compete fiercely but unite strongly. He says they’d give their lives to protect each other. The lyrics mention wandering like kites but always standing together.
Vilaiyaada Pogum PothuWhen we go out to play,
Ethirum Puthirum NippomeWe’ll stand against each other.
Veliyeri Vanthaal TholilBut when we leave, on each other’s shoulders,
Kaigal Serthu SelvomeWe’ll walk with our arms linked together.
Yaarukku VetrinaalumNo matter who wins,
Joraai Adi TheeppomeWe’ll have a wild celebration.
Geththaai IruppomeWe’ll always have swagger.
Hey HeyHey, hey.
Vivagaaramaaga Thonum Summa PaakkaIt might seem like we’re troublemakers at first glance,
Hey HeyHey, hey.
Uyir Kooda Thaaruvom Thozhan Thannai KaakkaBut we’d even give our lives to protect a friend.
Hey HeyHey, hey.
Puthiraana Paathai Engaloda VaazhkaiOur life is a mysterious path,
Hey HeyHey, hey.
Thirivome Naanga Ettu Thikkum Athira ThaanAnd we’ll wander in all eight directions, making them tremble.
Vilaiyaada Pogum PothuWhen we go out to play,
Ethirum Puthirum NippomeWe’ll stand against each other.
Veliyeri Vanthaal TholilBut when we leave, on each other’s shoulders,
Kaigal Serthu SelvomeWe’ll walk with our arms linked together.
Yaarukku VetrinaalumNo matter who wins,
Joraai Adi TheeppomeWe’ll have a wild celebration.
Geththaai IruppomeWe’ll always have swagger.
Hey Kankaana ThoorathilHey, even if time,
Kaalam Nammai VaithaalumPlaces us far apart,
Thunbangal VanthaaleWhen hardship comes knocking,
Thozhan Engu Kan ThedumMy eyes will search for my friend.
Sutri EppothumAll around us, always,
Pala Sontham Pantham ThaanThere are so many relatives and connections.
Enna Aanaalum Oru Nanban Nanban ThaanBut no matter what, a friend is a friend.
Kaathadiyaai Oru KaathadiyaaiLike a kite, oh, like a kite,
Ada Angum Ingum Sutri Sutri Adi VaruvomWe’ll wander here and there, getting into scrapes.
Yeraalamaai Ada YeraalamaaiIn abundance, oh, in abundance,
Paasam Vaithu Nenjil ThangumThis immense affection stays in our hearts,
Pantham Intha Nanban ThaanAnd this friend is that very bond.
Example Illai Poda Engaloda NatpukkuThere’s no example to compare our friendship to,
Excuse-eh Kettathillai Engalukkul ThappukkuWe’ve never made excuses for mistakes between us.
Good Morning Evening Ellaam Solla Maattom OppukkuWe don’t say ‘good morning’ or ‘evening’ just for the sake of it,
Ithu Thaan Friendship-uThis is friendship.
Hey HeyHey, hey.
Vivagaaramaaga Thonum Summa PaakkaIt might seem like we’re troublemakers at first glance,
Hey HeyHey, hey.
Uyir Kooda Thaaruvom Thozhan Thannai KaakkaBut we’d even give our lives to protect a friend.
