Engengo Kaalgal Sellum Lyrics Translation (from “Nandha”)

Pulamaipithan pens profound questions about life’s journey, asking, ‘What is its meaning?’ The lyrics mention a needle without an eye, symbolizing the impermanence of material things. The poet weaves a narrative that reflects on existence and the paths we take.

Engengo Kalgal SellumYour feet carry you to places unknown,
Padhaiyil PogindraiAnd you just journey down that road.
Yedhedho Nalai EndraWith a vague hope for what tomorrow might bring,
Aasaiyil VazhgindraiYou continue to live on.
Un Sondham Ingu Yar YaroWho can you truly call your own here?
Nee Solli Kolla Yar YaroWho is there for you to even claim?
Nee Vazhum VazhvilIn the very life that you’re living,
Artham Enna Endre Nee SolluTell me, what is its meaning?
Engengo Kalgal SellumYour feet carry you to places unknown,
Padhaiyil PogindraiAnd you just journey down that road.
Yedhedho Nalai EndraWith a vague hope for what tomorrow might bring,
Aasaiyil VazhgindraiYou continue to live on.
Kadhilla OosiyumeEven a needle without an eye,
Kadaisi Varaikkum VaratheWon’t come with you to the very end.
Pattinathar SonnaneThe sage Pattinathar said it himself,
Pattu Ondru AppotheIn a song from long ago.
Edhanaikondu Nam VanthomWhat did we bring with us when we came?
Edhanai Kondu PogindromWhat will we take with us when we go?
Odum Ponnum OndraiTo see gold and simple clay as one,
Ennum Idhayam Vendume EIs the kind of heart one truly needs.
Engengo Kalgal SellumYour feet carry you to places unknown,
Padhaiyil PogindraiAnd you just journey down that road.
Yedhedho Nalai EndraWith a vague hope for what tomorrow might bring,
Aasaiyil VazhgindraiYou continue to live on.
Katrukku Yar IngeWho here taught the wind,
Pattu Solli ThantharoHow to sing its very own song?
Aatrukku Yar IngeWho here showed the river,
Padhai Pottu ThantharoWhich path it was meant to take?
Vazhkai Engu Poi SerumWhere this journey of life will end,
Kalam Seiyum TheermanamIs a decision that only time can make.
Ennai Unnai KettaWithout ever asking for your say or mine,
Vazhkai Payanam Poguthu UuThis journey of life simply goes on.
Engengo Kalgal SellumYour feet carry you to places unknown,
Padhaiyil PogindraiAnd you just journey down that road.
Yedhedho Nalai EndraWith a vague hope for what tomorrow might bring,
Aasaiyil VazhgindraiYou continue to live on.
