T. M. Soundarajan’s commanding voice anchors ‘Paithiyakaran Pathum’ from the album Raja Veettu Pillai. Lyricist Vaali and composer S. M. Subbaih Naidu frame this call to disregard baseless criticism through steady musical resolve.

Paithiyakaran Pathum Lyrics Translation T. M. Soundarajan | Raja Veettu Pillai
Vaali compares silencing gossip to sealing a furnace mouth—an impossible task. He notes even Buddha faced faultfinders, reinforcing that productive trees attract stones. The singer advises continuing one’s journey despite detractors.
Paithiyakaran Pathum SolvaanA madman will say ten different things.
Pogattum Vittu ViduLet them go; just leave them be.
Paithiyakaran Pathum SolvaanA madman will say ten different things.
Pogattum Vittu ViduLet them go; just leave them be.
Padaithavan Iruppaan Paarthu KolvaanThe Creator’s there, and He’ll watch over you.
Payanathai Thodarnthu ViduJust keep going on your journey.
Nee Payanathai Thodarnthu ViduYou must keep going on your journey.
Paithiyakaran Pathum SolvaanA madman will say ten different things.
Pogattum Vittu ViduLet them go; just leave them be.
Aindhu Viralkalum Ondraai IrukkumAre even the five fingers on a hand identical?
Manadhin Ulagil KedaipaanaCan you find such uniformity in the world of the mind?
Athanai Perukkum NallavanaagaTo be a ‘good person’ in the eyes of everyone,
Aandavan Kooda IruppaanaEven God Himself can’t manage that.
Ulaiyin Vaaiyai Moodum KaigalHands that can seal the mouth of a furnace,
Oorin Vaayai MoodidumaCould they ever shut the mouth of an entire town?
Alaigal Ooindhu NeeraduvadhuWaiting for the waves to settle before you bathe,
Aaga Koodiya KaariyamaIs that a task that’s even possible?
Paithiyakaran Pathum SolvaanA madman will say ten different things.
Pogattum Vittu ViduLet them go; just leave them be.
Narambilladha Naavaal EdhaiyumWith a ‘boneless tongue’ that lacks restraint,
Varambillamal KooriduvaarPeople will say anything without any limits.
Irundhal Varuvaar Izhandhaal PirivaarThey’ll come when you’re rich and leave when you’re not.
Naalukku Naal Thaan MaariduvaarThey’ll just keep changing from one day to the next.
Kaaitha Maram Thaan Kalladi PadumenaThat only the fruit-bearing tree gets pelted with stones,
Kan Koodaai Naam PaarthathunduWe’ve seen it happen right before our eyes.
Buthan Yaesu Gandhiyai KoodaEven for the likes of Buddha, Jesus, and Gandhi,
Kutham Solli KettathunduWe’ve heard people try to find faults in them.
Buthan Yaesu Gandhiyai KoodaEven for the likes of Buddha, Jesus, and Gandhi,
Kutham Solli KettathunduWe’ve heard people try to find faults in them.
Paithiyakaran Pathum SolvaanA madman will say ten different things.
Pogattum Vittu ViduLet them go; just leave them be.
Padaithavan Iruppaan Paarthu KolvaanThe Creator’s there, and He’ll watch over you.
Payanathai Thodarnthu ViduJust keep going on your journey.
Nee Payanathai Thodarnthu ViduYou must keep going on your journey.
