Kannadasan pairs love with sorrow in the line ‘Anbu Vaithaal Adhu Thunbam.’ Soundarajan questions justice while addressing a mother figure, referencing a ‘golden flower’ child he cannot protect or abandon.
AmmaMother.
Seiyaadha Paavam SoozhndhadheSins I never committed have surrounded me.
Seradha Thunbam SerndhadhaeSorrows I never sought have gathered.
AmmaMother.
Seiyaadha Paavam SoozhndhadheSins I never committed have surrounded me.
Seradha Thunbam SerndhadhaeSorrows I never sought have gathered.
Anbu Vaithaal Adhu ThunbamIf I offer love, it turns into sorrow.
Nenjil Aasai Vaithaal Adhu MosamIf I harbor desire in my heart, it becomes deceit.
Ondrupattaal Adhu PaavamIf we unite, it becomes a sin.
Nalla Uravu Kondaal Adhu DhrogamIf we forge a good bond, it becomes betrayal.
AmmaMother.
Seiyaadha Paavam SoozhndhadheSins I never committed have surrounded me.
Seradha Thunbam SerndhadhaeSorrows I never sought have gathered.
Annai Maarbilare Thanga MalarA golden flower rests on the mother’s chest.
Adhu Mannar Maalgai Thandha MalarIt’s a blossom bestowed by the king’s palace.
Indru Ezhai Pol VaadudhammaToday, it wilts like a pauper.
Thaai Idhaya Oonjalil AadudhammaIt sways in the swing of a mother’s heart.
O MannargalaeOh, kings!
O MannargalaeOh, kings!
Ungal Needhi EngaeWhere is your justice?
Manidhargalae Manam EngaeOh humans, where is your conscience?
Mangaiyar Nallaram EngaeWhere is the virtue of women?
AmmaMother.
Seiyaadha Paavam SoozhndhadheSins I never committed have surrounded me.
Seradha Thunbam SerndhadhaeSorrows I never sought have gathered.
Eduthu Kollavoo Kaigal IllaiI have no hands to embrace you.
Paal Koduthu Kaakavoo Vazhiyum IllaiI’ve no way to feed or protect you.
Viduthu Pogavoo MudiyavillaiI can’t bear to leave you behind.
Nenjil Viluntha Paasamoo KuraiyavillaiThe affection etched in my heart hasn’t faded.
Un ThaaimaiyilaeIn your motherhood.
Un ThaaimaiyilaeIn your motherhood.
Undhan Selvam Valarum ThalaradhaeYour treasure will grow without faltering.
Irul Maraiyum Oru Naal Ulagam VidiyumThe darkness will fade; one day the world will dawn.
Amma Amma AmmaMother, Mother, Mother.
