Paarthene Lyrics Translation – Mookuthi Amman Soundtrack
Jairam Balasubramanian describes realizing the divine within after searching widely. Girishh G notes that giving food to the hungry reveals God’s presence.
Parthene Uyirin VazhiyeI’ve seen the very path of life,
Yar Kannum Kana MugameA face that no eyes have ever seen.
Kal Endru Ninaithen UnaiyeI thought you were just a stone,
Nee Yar Endru Sonnai Maname Than NeeyaBut my heart’s revealed who you are, and it’s you.
Edhil Nee IrundhaiWhat were you in?
Engo MaraindhaiWhere did you hide?
Unai Thedi AzhaindhenI wandered, searching for you,
Enakulle TherindhaiAnd found you right inside of me.
Idhu Podhum Enakku VeruThis is more than enough for me,
Varangal Nooru VendumaDo I need a hundred other boons?
Iraiva Idhu Than NiraivaMy God, is this what fulfillment is?
Unardhen Unaiye UnaiyeI’ve realized it’s you, only you,
Marandhen Enaiye EnaiyeAnd I’ve forgotten myself entirely.
Parthene Uyirin VazhiyeI’ve seen the very path of life,
Yar Kannum Kana MugameA face that no eyes have ever seen.
Kal Endru Ninaithen UnaiyeI thought you were just a stone,
Nee Yar Endru Sonnai Maname Than NeeyaBut my heart’s revealed who you are, and it’s you.
Vedhangal Moththam OdhiEven after chanting all the ‘Vedas’,
Yagangal Niththam SeidhuAnd performing daily ‘yagams’ or fire rituals,
Poojikkum Bhakthi AdhilumEven in that devotion and worship,
Unnai KanalamIt’s said that one can see you.
Pasi Endru Than Mun VandhuBut when someone comes before you, saying they’re hungry,
Kai Yendhi Ketkum BodhuAnd asks with outstretched hands,
Than Unavai Thandhal KoodaEven in the act of giving them your own food,
Unnai KanalamYou can be seen.
Unai Kana Pazha KodiTo catch a glimpse of you, many millions,
Ingu Vari IraikirargalPour their offerings here like tax.
Ezhidhaga Unai SeraBut to reach you so easily,
Ingu Yaru NinaikirargalWho here ever thinks to try?
Azhangaram Adhil Nee IllaiYou aren’t in the decorations,
Agangaram Manadhil IllaiAnd you aren’t in an arrogant heart.
Thuli Kallam KabadamWithout a drop of cunning or deceit,
Kalanthidatha Anbil IrukkiraiYou exist in a love that’s purely untainted.
Unardhen Unaiye UnaiyeI’ve realized it’s you, only you,
Marandhen Enaiye EnaiyeAnd I’ve forgotten myself entirely.
Agam Nee Jagam NeeYou are the self, you are the universe,
Anuvana Ulagin Agalam NeeYou’re the vastness of this atomic world.
Erumbin Idhaya Ozhi NeeYou’re the sound from an ant’s own heart,
Kalirin Thudhikai Ganamum NeeAnd the weight of an elephant’s trunk.
Aayiram Kai Undu EndralIf you truly have a thousand hands,
Nee Oru Kai Thara KoodathaCan’t you offer just one of them to me?
Eerayiram Kan KondaiYou possess two thousand eyes,
Un Oru Kan Enai ParadhaCan’t just one of them look my way?
Unnil Saran AdainthenI’ve surrendered myself to you,
Ini Nee GadhiyeFrom now on, you are my only refuge.
Parthene Uyirin VazhiyeI’ve seen the very path of life,
Yar Kannum Kana MugameA face that no eyes have ever seen.
Kal Endru Ninaithen UnaiyeI thought you were just a stone,
Nee Yar Endru Sonnai Maname Than NeeyaBut my heart’s revealed who you are, and it’s you.
