Karthik Netha contrasts physical closeness with emotional support. ‘Tholvi Naanum Adaigaiyil’ shows the father providing courage during defeat. ‘Unai Vittal Yaar Ingu Iraivane’ directly equates paternal love with divinity.
Appa Neeyum Deivam Pol ThanaeFather, you’re just like a god to me.
Appa Neethaan Kaanum EllamaeFather, you’re everything I see in this world.
Maarbil Aadi Tholil YeriPlaying on your chest and climbing on your shoulders,
Ulagam Paarthathu MarakkumaCan I ever forget seeing the world from there?
Raariraaroo Neeyum PaadaWhen you sang those ‘lullabies’ to me,
Uranghi Ponadhu MarakkumaCan I ever forget how I used to drift off to sleep?
Sondham Nooru Bandham NooruI might have a hundred relatives and a hundred bonds,
Thagappan Pol VarumaBut can any of them ever be like a father?
Pirai Yedhum IllaThere isn’t a single flaw in you.
Anbin Vaanil Muzhumai NeedhanaeIn the sky of love, you’re the full moon.
Narai Kodi Dhegam Ooyum BodhumEven when your body tires and your hair turns grey,
Kuzhandhai NeedhaanaeYou’re still just a child at heart.
Tholil Saainthu NerukkamaLeaning closely on your shoulder,
Thuyarai Thudaikkum Thozhan NeeYou’re the friend who wipes away my sorrows.
Tholvi Naanum AdaigaiyilWhenever I face defeat,
Thunivai Kodukkum Veeran NeeYou’re the hero who gives me courage.
Enekkendrae VaazhumthidumYou’re the father who lives just for me,
ThagappanaeMy dear father.
Unai Vittal Yaar Ingu IraivaneWho else is a god here if not you?
Uyar Vaanam Boomi Neerin TheeyilIn the high sky, the earth, the water, and the fire,
Kalandhu VaazhvaayaeYou’ll live on, blended into everything.
Uyir Vaazhum PerilIn the name of every living soul,
Moochukaatril Dhinamum VaazhvaayaeYou’ll live every day in the breath we take.
Appa Neeyum Deivam Pol ThanaeFather, you’re just like a god to me.
