Naalu Veli Nilam’s Iruppavargal Anubavikka Lyrics Translation
The lyrics introduce urgency, noting that death will arrive and youth fades like a rainbow. A later line contrasts crores of material things with the simple flavor of a sweet word. This argument values human affection over any amount of money.
Padupattu Thedi Panam KuvithuToiling hard, you seek and amass a fortune
Madi Manai Nilapulangal Vanghi VaithuBuying up mansions, homes, and acres of land
Vazhvdhanal Sugabogam VandhidumaWill living this way bring you blissful pleasure?
Maradha Mana Niraivu Thandhiduma HoWill it give you a peace of mind that never fades?
Iruppavargal AnubavikkaFor those who have wealth, there’s a world to enjoy

Kalanum Varum MunneBefore ‘Kalan, the god of death,’ arrives
Kannirandum Moodum MunneBefore both your eyes close forever
Kalanum Varum MunneBefore that final summons has come

Vanavillai Maraiyum MunneAnd vanishes just like a rainbow
Valibam Vazhvil ThondriBefore youth blossoms in your world
Vanavillai Maraiyum MunneAnd disappears like a fleeting rainbow
Vandaga Adi Padi UlagileYou should dance and sing through the world like a joyful beetle
