Paritha Kannai Lyrics Translation (from “Thanga Padhumai”)

Pathini, the devoted wife, confronts a powerful figure directly. Her words, “My plucked-out eyes, I have offered, oh virtuous one,” reveal her horrifying sacrifice for her husband’s sight. She demands her eyes back, questioning the divine’s compassion and fairness.

Paritha KannaiMy plucked-out eyes, I have offered, oh virtuous one.
Padhithu Vitten PathiniyeYou must return them with the hand that gave my husband his sight.
Nee Endhan Kanavan KannaiYou must return them with the hand that gave my husband his sight.
Edutha Kaiyal Koduthu ViduYou must return them with the hand that gave my husband his sight.
Ezhaikku Vazhvu KoduGrant this poor woman a life.
Idhaya Koyil Aduthavale YeOh, you who dwell within my heart’s temple!
Arul ManiyeOh, jewel of grace!
Arangatha Tamizh Magale Amma Un MelOh unceasing daughter of Tamil, Mother, upon you
Anaiyittu KetkkirenI swear as I make my plea.
Anbirundhal Panbirundhal Kann KodammaIf there is love, if there is kindness, grant me my eyes, Mother!
Ezhaikku Un Arul Ettadha SigaramooIs your grace an unreachable peak for this poor soul?
Innamum Kangal KurudooAre your own eyes still blind?
Iru Seviyum MandhamooAre both your ears deaf?
Nan Azhudha Kural KonjamooWas the sound of my weeping too faint?
Idhayamum KallanadhooHas your heart, too, turned to stone?
Irakkam PirakkavillaiyooHas no pity been born within you?
