Oru Oorula Enga VaazhkkaOur life unfolds in a certain village.
Adhula Irukkum Anba PaakkaTo witness the love that lives within it.
Karumbodu Kakka KuruviAlong with the sugarcane, crows, and sparrows,
Kadhaya Kekkawe are here to listen to the story.
Thala Mela Vaanam PakkaTo look up at the vast sky above our heads.
Yaara Nanga Kelvi KekkaWho is there for us to question?
Thalayatti BommaLike a simple nodding doll,
Vaazhkka Thaannlife just moves along.
Oru Kuruvi KoodumA sparrow’s nest,
Siru Kavidha Paadumsinging a little poem.
Ada Kalaththu MeadumThe mounds on the threshing floor,
Chinna Varappa Thedumsearching for the small field ridges.
Andha Velanja KattukullaInside those ripe, grown fields,
Valanji Oda Indhato run winding through them,
Manasum Yengaadhadoesn’t the heart yearn for it?
Oru Aaththu MeenumA fish from the river,
Thulli Kudhichchi Pogumleaping and jumping away.
Meen Kozhambu VaasamThe aroma of fish curry,
Enga Kaathil Veesumdrifting in the air around us.
Nodi Pasaichcha NeramThe moment hunger strikes,
Andha Pazhaya Sorum Ingaeven that old leftover rice here,
Amudham Aagadhaadoesn’t it become like nectar?
Megaththu Mela YeriClimbing up on the clouds,
Vaanaththa Renda Keerisplitting the sky in two.

Povom Vaadalet’s go, come on.
Mazha KaathodaWith the rainy wind,
Kaathaa Maaribecoming the breeze itself.
Povomae Ella MeeriLet’s go, crossing every limit.

Anbu Thambi Naane Na NaI’m the loving younger brother.

Boomi Pandhu Suththum Late Ahthe earth might spin a little slower.
Kastaththukku KattuvomaeTo hardship, we just say,
Tata Tata Thaan‘bye-bye’ and move on.
