Irumbu Thirai (1960)’s Enna Seidhaalum Lyrics Translation

The lyrics shift to describe a devotion present since childhood. This faith accepts both loving embraces and angry strikes as equal actions from a divine mother. The song then states it is foolish to blame the goddess for sorrows that arise from past deeds.

Enna Seidhalum Enthan Thunai NeeyeWhatever you do, you’re my only refuge
Enna Seidhalum Enthan Thunai NeeyeWhatever you do, you’re my only refuge
En Annaiye Umaiye Ennai NeeOh my mother, Uma, for me, you…
Enna Seidhalum Enthan Thunai NeeyeWhatever you do, you’re my only refuge
Chinna Vayathu Mudhal Unnaiye NambinenSince my childhood, I’ve trusted only you
Chinna Vayathu Mudhal Unnaiye NambinenSince my childhood, I’ve trusted only you
Sinanthennai AdiththalumWhether you strike me in anger
