Endha Uyiraiyum Lyrics Translation Devi Sri Prasad | Vaikom Vijayalakshmi | Rathnam
Viveka contrasts isolated despair with maternal solace in lyrics like ‘no hands stretched out to wipe flowing tears.’ Vaikom Vijayalakshmi’s delivery underscores the daughter’s unanswered cries for comfort.
Entha Uyiraiyum Intha UlaginilFor every single life on this earth,
Thantha Oru Deivam Thaaiisn’t the mother the divine creator who gave it birth?
Antham Illaa Oru Sontham EndraalIf there’s truly a relationship that has no end,
Athu Entha Nilaiyilum Thaai Allavaain any situation, isn’t it only a mother?
Thannanth Thaniyaa Neeyum IrunthaWhen you were left standing all alone,
Unthan Thunaiyaa Yaarumillawith no one by your side to guide you.
Kannil Valiyum Neerai ThudaikkaTo wipe away the tears spilling from your eyes,
Kaigal Yaedhum Neelavillanot a single hand reached out to help.
Enna Sontham Enna PanthamWhat use are kin, what use are ties?
Oru Thaayai Pol Ver YaaroWho else could ever be like a mother?
Entha Uyiraiyum Intha UlaginilFor every single life on this earth,
Thantha Oru Deivam Thaai Allavaaisn’t the mother the divine creator who gave it birth?
Antham Illaa Oru Sontham EndraalIf there’s truly a relationship that has no end,
Athu Entha Nilaiyilum Thaai Allavaain any situation, isn’t it only a mother?
Maanam Perithena Vaazha NinaiththavalShe wished to live holding her honor high above all else.
Vaazha Vazhi IllaiyaaIs there no way left for her to live now?
Nesam Nirambiya Paasam Magal IndruThe daughter, once filled with such deep affection,
Pesa Mozhi Illaiyaais she left with no language to speak today?
Puyal Kaattril Kodi PolaLike a tender vine caught in a violent storm,
Paavam Ival Paavamshe’s so pitiable, poor soul.
Uyir Paaram SumakkaamalUnable to carry the heavy burden of this life,
Ponaal Vegu Thooram Thooramshe’s gone so far away, drifting into the distance.
Entha Uyiraiyum Intha UlaginilFor every single life on this earth,
Thantha Oru Deivam Thaai Allavaaisn’t the mother the divine creator who gave it birth?
Antham Illaa Oru Sontham EndraalIf there’s truly a relationship that has no end,
Athu Entha Nilaiyilum Thaai Allavaain any situation, isn’t it only a mother?
