unarchiyo marayavillai,
en thangame unadhu meni,
thaangi naan sumandhu sella,
enakkoru bandhamillai,
evarukko iraivan thandhaan,
andha naalu perukku nandri,

I dont have words to express
all that is in my heart,
I am not born a mute,
my feelings have not faded away,
oh dear one,
to carry your body,
It seems I dont have any relationship with you,
god gave the right to somebody,
to those four people I express my gratitude,


naalu perukku nandri,
andha naalu perukku nandri,
naalu perukku nandri,
andha naalu perukku nandri,
thaaiyillaadha anaadhaikkellaam,
thol koduththu thooki sellum,
naalu perukku nandri,
andha naalu perukku nandri,

thanks to those four people,
to those four people I express my gratitude,
thanks to those four people,
to those four people I express my gratitude,
people who supported the orphans who lost their mothers, and carry them forward,
to those four people I express my gratitude


uravu endrum paasam endrum,
iraivan pootiya vilangu,
azhuvadharkkum sirippadharkkum,
amaitha ullam ondru,

aatru vellam thaane odum,
aasai vellam sondham thedum,
sondham edhuvum illai endraal,
andha neram naalvar vendum,
naalu perukku nandri,

in the name of kinship, in the name of affection,
God locks and chains us,
to cry and laugh,
he gave us one heart,
the water (flood) in the river finds its own path,
(the flood of) desires looks for relationships,
In case we have no relations left,
then we need four people (for solace us),
I thank those four people,


inbathaiye pangu vaithaal,
punnagai solvadhu nandri,
thunbathile thunai irundhaal,
kanneer solvadhu nandri,
vaazhumbodhu varuvorkkellaam,
vaarthaiyaale nandri solvom,
vaazhumbodhu varuvorkkellaam,
vaarthaiyaale nandri solvom,
vaarthai indri pogumbodhu,
mounathaale nandri solvom,
andha naalu perukku nandri,

If you shared your happiness with someone,
the smile from them expresses the gratitude,
if you were a support to someone in their sorrow,
the tears from them express the gratitude,
people whom you come across during your lifetime,
express your gratitude in words,
If you dont have words to express your gratitude,
express your gratitude through silence,
to those four people I express my gratitude,

god kept the atrocity (ferocity) of a roaring lion,
in its eyes (i.e you can know the ferocity of a lion by looking at its eyes),
but the qualities of this spoilt human, he hid in the blanket of the heart,
(it is impossible to understand a person’s true feelings by his appearance alone, lots of things are concealed in the heart)

adhai karunai endravan koorugiraan
paigalil edhaiyo thedugiraan,

the world must praise that there is/was  no equal to you.

The memories of those days have surfaced back in my heart,
oh my friend! oh my friend! oh my friend!
this day is not as happy as those days,
why is it so? why is it so?why is it so? oh my friend!

puthagam paiyile budhiyo paatile,
palliyai kandathum othunguvom mazhaiyile,

lessons, study, play, fun,
what else did we focus on  then,
books in the bag,  minds on the songs,
we were so aversed by school that,  instead we used to take shelter in rain

(emphasizes that life as a student was carefree, fun and more enjoyable)


nithamum naadagam nithamum naadagam,
ninaivellam kaaviyam,
uyarnthavan thaazhnthavan illaiye nammidam,

we were always involved in dramas,
our thoughts were filled with poetic epics,
there  was no one high, no one low among us,


palliyai vittathum paathaigal maarinom,
kadamaigal vanthathu kavalaiyum vandhadhu,

once we finished school, we took different paths,
we had responsibities, with it came worries,


paasam endrum nesam endrum veedu endrum manaivi endrum,
nooru sontham vantha pinnam,
thedugindra amaithi enge,

we were bound by feelings  called affection, love, house, wife,
a hundred relatives came into your life,
however where is the peace that I am searching for?


avan avan nenjile aayiram aasaigal,
azhuvathum sirippathum aasaiyin vizhaivugal,
periyavan siriyavan nallavan kettavan,
ullavan ponavan ulagile paarkirom,
enname sumaigalaai idhaiyame baaramaai,
thavarugal seithavan evanume thavikkiraan azhugiraan,

In everyone’s heart there are a thousand desires,
our tears, our joy are a direct consequence of these desires,
who is big, who is small,  who is good, who is bad,
who has, who went, we see all kinds of people in this world,
our thoughts are the burden, our hearts have become heavier (with feelings),
any one who commits mistakes cries, repents for it.

like a bearer of burden of time, you have held me along your breasts (heart),
you wiped the tears that shed from my eyes,

just like the leaves of the banyan tree,
what if thousand relations came by,
you were there like the root of the tree,
due to which I managed to stay on without falling,

A bed of thorns was spread for me,
I couldn’t even close my eyes, (indicator of bad times)

who understands my needs better?
only a goddess like you will know.

parthaa pasumaram paduthuvitta nedumaram,

theeyilittaa kariyum minjumaa nyaana thangame
theeyilittaa kariyum minjumaa,

what you see as a lush green tree, if felled is an immobile piece of wood,
one you collect them they can be used as fuel, oh knowledgeable people,
when you burn it in fire, it results in charcoal, oh knowledgeable people,
when you burn it in fire, it results in charcoal,

(when one looks at a person’s body , it looks just like the lush green tree, full of life, seemingly important etc.
but when it dies, it is nothing but a piece of flesh,
while a tree can at least give fuel/ charcoal even after its death, our body can yield nothing after death (totally useless),
so stop all your prejudices and a false sense of superiority / importance since we are worth only when we are alive, we should use this time valuably)


kattazhagu meniyaippaar pottum poovumaa,
neeti  kattaile paduththuvittaa kaasukkaagumaa,

[Addressed to women] look at the beautiful body of this women adorned with  bindi and flowers,
however when they age (close to death) and are no longer mobile/ unwell due to age etc  (lie flat), they are not worth any money,
(all the time and effort we spend worrying about external appearances, false pride of youth etc are of no use since finally everyone is going to age (die) and turn worthless someday)


vattamidum kaalaiyaippaar vaattasaattamaa,
(4)kooni valanjivittaa odambu indha aattam podumaa,

[Addressed to men] look at the strong bulls (man in his youth) revolving around women,
however once old age sets in and people can no longer stand straight and get a  hunchback, will they play all the games that they did as youth,


ponnum porulum mootta katti pottu vechchaaru,
ivaru pona varusham mazhaiya nambi vedha vedhachchaaru,

there are people who amass material wealth and gold, and keep it locked, (people who are greedy)
there are people who sow seeds depending on last year’s rainfall, (people who don’t think forward and live in their past )

eesan potta kanakku maaravilla poy vizhundhaaru,

there are people who manipulate account books, (detract from their duties)
however in god’s account the calculations don’t change, they fall (people who commit mistakes , may be let away in this world, but in god’s books your mistakes are recorded and there is definite punishment)


aruvadaiyai mudikkum munne vidhikkal aguma,

deivam iruppadhu enge?
adhu inge, ver enge

where is it that god resides?
it is here, where else? ( in human’s themselves)


thelindha ninaivum , thirandha nenjum , niraindhadhundo angey,

it resides in the person who has a clear thought ( conscience), an open heart that is content and is filled with all the good things,


ponnum porulum niraindhavar nenjam , poiyil valrndha kaadu,
yennum, yeluthum niraindhavar nenjam iraivan thigalum veedu,

the hearts of people who only have all the riches and all material comforts, is like a forest grown on lies,
the hearts of people who are learned, and can think is where  god resides,


aadai, anigalan, adaambarangal andavan virumbuvudhillai,
angoru kannum ingoru kannum, aalaya valibadillai,
isaiyil kalaiyil, kaviyil mazhalai mozhiyil iraivan undu,
ivaidhaan deivam yenbathai arindhaal yerkum unadhu thondu, deivam yerkum unadhu thondu

the dresses, the ornaments, the things which we adorn to flaunt; are not what god likes,
unfocused worship ( by having each of your eyes ( thoughts) focussed on different things) is not considered worship ,
in music, in arts, in a poet’s baby like(simple and elegant) language is where god lives,
if one realizes that these are where god lives ( or is god), then god will accept all your offerings,


nandri niraaindhavar enge, deivam ange
nanmai purindhavar enge, deivam ange
palamai ninaindhavar enge, deivam ange
paasam malandhavar enge, deivam ange
deivam irupadhu inge,

in people who are thankful, there is god,
in people who do good, there is god,
in people who don’t forget their past (history), there is god,
in people where affection blooms (who care for others), there is god,
god resides here,

kalviya selvama veerama?
annaiya thandhaiya deivama?

is it education? wealth? bravery? that is the most important
it is like asking if mother? father? or god? that are the most important


ondrillamal mattondru uruvaaguma?
idhil uyarvendrum thalvendrum pirivaaguma?

without one how can the other begin ( or exist) ?
where is the separation of which is more important than the other?


karporku porul indri pasi theeruma?
porul petrorku arivindri pugal seruma?
katraalum petraalum balamagumaa?
veeram kaanadha vaalvendrum vaalvaaguma?

for the learned ( educated people) , without wealth how will their hunger satiate?
for the wealthy, without intellect ( which comes by education) how will they become famous?
even if one is learned, or has all the wealth, does it lead to strength?
if you don’t have bravery, then is such a life worth living?


padithavan karuthellam sabai yeruma?
porul padaithavan karuthanaal sabai meeruma?
padithavan padaithavan yaarayinum
balam padaithirundaal avanukkinaiaguma?

do all the idea’s or ideals of learned people , get accepted or lead to accolades?
how can the idea’s or ideals of creator, be rejected? ( since he has already proved thats his ideas work),
whether it is the learned or the creator,
if they also possess bravery, then there is no one comparable to them.


ondrukkul ondraga karuvanadu,
adu ondrinil ondraga porulanadu ,
ondrai ondru pagaithal uyarvedu ?
moondrum Or idathil irundaal nigar edu?

each of these qualities are intertwined and began within each other,
they all are meaningful only when taken together,
if each of them detest the other, where is progress or elevation?
if all of them are at a place, then what is comparable to its power?


moondru thalaimuraikkum nidhi venduma ?
kaalam mutrum pugal valarkkum mathi venduma ?
thondrum pagai nadungum balam venduma ?
ivai moondrum thunai irukkum nalam venduma?

so do you want wealth that will last the next 3 generations?
or do you want a powerful intellect that will be remembered and revered till the end of time?
or do you need the strength that will send shivers down the enemy who opposes you?
or do you need the goodness that comes with help of all three qualities?

Lyrics: Kannadasan

padaithaane padaithaane,
manithanai aandavan padaithaane,

God created human being,


valarthaane valarthaane,
manadhinil kavalaiyai valarthaane

He  made sorrows grow in the heart,


koduthaane koduthaane,
maradhiyai aandavan koduthaane,
pirithane pirithane,
manadhaiyum kavalaiyum pirithane,

God gave humans the curse of forgetfulness,
he separated the heart and sorrows,

koottam siridhumillai,
aasai paasam kaadhalil vilundhaal,
amaidiyai kaanavillai,
alaindhaan thavithaan thudithaan madindhaan,
yaarukkum laabamillai,

When humans were monkeys , their heart
dint have any confusions,
family , wife , brother (elder and younger),
all groups don’t exist,
if one gets entangled in desires ,  affection , love,
he doesn’t see peace (in the heart),
so human wandered , suffered , trembled  in all these entanglements,
and there is no gain to anyone because of these.


thannanthaniye pirandhavan nengil,
sanjalam illaiyadaa,
ennoru uyirai thannudan serthaal,
endrum thollaiyadaa,
ithanai siriya manidhan thalaiyil,
ethanai sumaigaladaa,
irupadhil thodangi elubathu varaikkum,
endrum mayakkamadaa,

In the heart of  one who is born alone,
there are not confusions  (apprehensions) ,
If one gets another life into his (marriage/other relationships) ,
it is always troublesome (painful),
in such a small human’s mind,
how many burdens,
from the 20′s to the 60′s ,
always there is always bewilderment ( intoxicated feeling).

Singer: T.M.Sounderajan

aaru maname aaru, andha andavan kattalai aaru

heal .. oh heart … heal , this is god’s order , heal


theindha manidhan valum vagaiku
deivathin kattalai aaru

for the current eroded human to live rightly,
god’s order (prescription) are the following six principles,


)ondre solvaar ondre seivaar ullathil ulladhu amaidhi,
inbathil thunbam thumbathil inbam ,
iraivan vagutha neyadhi,

For people who say and do the same ( What they say is what they do ), they have peace in their heart ( soul),
sorrow in happiness, and  happiness in sorrow,
this is the rule of the god.


solluku seigai ponnagum, varum thunbathil inbam pattagum,

When your actions follow what ever you speak that’s a golden virtue ,  what ever sorrow comes to you, the happiness that follows it is the healer of the sorrow.


)indha irundu kattalai arindha mandhil,

in the heart which  realises the above two principles,


)ella nanmaiyum undagum

all the good things will happen,


unmaiyai solli nanmaiyai seidhal ulagam unnidam mayangum,
nilai uyarumbodhu panivu kondal uyirgal unnai vanangum,

When one speak the truth and does  good, then the world will be charmed (impressed) by you,
when your status goes up if you still have humility,  then the souls (world) will respect you ,


)unmai enbadhu anbagum perum panivu enbadhu panbagum,

truth is love , and extreme humility is the hallmark of good character


)indha naangu kattalai arindha mandhil,

in the heart which  realises  the above four principles,


aasai kobam kalavu kolbavan pesa therindha mirugam,
anbu nandri karunai kondavan manidha vadivil deivam,

desire , anger , stealth – One who possesses these characters is nothing but a beast which can speak,
Love, thankfulness, compassion – One who possesses these characters is god in human form.


idhil mirugam enbadhu kalla manam
uyar deivam enbadhu pillai manam

in this the beast has the hidden ( black , filled with bad qualities) heart,
the higher god has the child’s heart ( pure)


indha aaru kattalai arindha mandhil

in the heart which  realises the above six principles,


andavan vazhum vellai manam.

is the white heart (pure) where god lives..

vandha naal mudhal indha naal varai,

From the day we came , till today,


vaanam maaravillai,
vaan madhiyum meenum kadal kaattrum,
malarum mannum kodiyum solaiyum,
nathiyum maaravillai,
manithan maarivittaan,

The sky has not changed,
the moon in the sky , fish , ocean, the wind,
the flowers, the soil (earth) , the plants (creepers) , the forest,
the river , none of these have changed,
however human has changed,


nilai maarinaal gunam maaruvaan,
poi neethiyum nermaiyum pesuvaan,
dhinam jaathiyum bethamum kooruvaan,
athu vethan vithi endrothuvaan,

if his status changes, he changes his character too,
he wrongly (falsely) talks about morality , justice,
daily he preaches (claims) about caste and creating differences,
he also preaches it to be the god’s way,


manithan maarivittaan madhaththil erivittaan,

Human has changed, he has climbed on religion ( has gone crazy)


paravaiyai kandaan vimaanam padaiththaan,
paayum meengalil padaginai kandaan,
ethiroli ketaan vaanoli padaiththaan,
ethanai kandaan panamthanai padaiththaan,

he saw birds, he made the plane,
In the moving fishes , he saw the idea of a boat
he heard echo , he made the radio,
what did he see? to invent money?


inbamum kaadhalum iyarkaiyin needhi,
etra thaalvugal mathinanin jaadhi,
paaril iyarkkai padaiththathai ellam,
paavi manidhan pirithuvaithaane,

all the pleasures and love is the way of nature,
ups and downs are the castes of human,
what ever the nature created in this whole world,
the sinned human , has separated it all
