Neeradum thamaraiyeLotus bathing in the water,
Verodu kobamennawhy are you angry down to your very roots?
Maradhu en nilaiyeMy situation won’t change,
Veroda gnyayam illaiand it’s not right to stay this angry.
Nee idhazh moodi kuvindhirundhalIf you keep your petals closed and stay huddled,
Manam veesumoowill your fragrance ever spread?
Malar meedhu idi vizhundhalIf a lightning bolt strikes a flower,
Idhazh thangumoocan its delicate petals withstand it?
Nam inainjaa thaimaiyadiIf we unite, it leads to motherhood, my dear,
Ullangaiyil boomiyadithe whole world will be in our hands.
Aangal enum inameMen, as a kind,
Poovidhazhil dhinam vazhiyumare like bees that drink the honey,
Then kudikkum vandinameflowing daily from the flower’s petals.

Poomalai ondrai thee vandhu thinnaWhen fire comes to consume a flower garland,
Kalangal parthiduthethe passing seasons just stand and watch.
Deebathai neeyum theeyendru sollaIf you call a lamp’s flame ‘destructive fire’,
Kattrukkum verthidutheeven the wind begins to sweat.
Manam muzhukka thappukanakkuMy heart is full of wrong calculations,
Ini edhukku vambhu vazhakkuso why do we need this conflict anymore?
Poo ondru puyaloduA flower can’t live,
Kaikkorthu vazhadhuhand-in-hand with a storm.
Poiyana unnodu en vazhvu yedhuWhat life do I have with someone as fake as you?
Nee potta manamalaiThe wedding garland you placed on me,
Sarugagi pogadhuwon’t just wither into dry leaves.
Podhadhu yezhezhu jenmangal seruSeven lifetimes aren’t enough for us to be together.

He retta mattu vandiyileHey, in a two-bullock cart,
Oththa madu sandi pannaif one bull starts acting stubborn,
Ooru eppa sera ada pozhudhagudhu koodawhen will we reach the village? The day’s already fading.
Nee thandha methai kannkattu vithaiThe bed you gave me is just a ‘magic trick’,
Kanneeral poo thelithaiand you’ve showered these flowers with tears.
Porvaikkul unmaiThe truth is hidden under the covers,
Kann moodi kola sogathai nee alithaiyou’ve given me a grief that kills while my eyes are closed.
Vanam muzhukka megam kalangumClouds across the entire sky are troubled,
Boomi kalandha mannu kulirumand the earth’s soil cools as it mingles.
Nadhi vellam nadaiThe river’s flood doesn’t search for the sky,
Poda agayam thedathuas it makes its way.
Irulodu uravedhu oli veesum podhuWhat relationship is there with darkness when light shines?
Kadalodu nadhi vandhuThe river won’t fail to reach,
Seramal pogadhuand join the sea.
Uyirodu uyiraga ondraga maraBecome one, soul to soul.
