Manidhan ninaipadhundu
(I’m translating the first two stanzas that have excellent meaning)
Manidhan ninaipadhundu
Vaazhvu nilaikkum endru
Iraivan ninaipadhundu
Paavam manidhan endru
Man might think Life will go on (forever )
God might think ‘poor man’ (as in he doesn’t know what’s going to hit him)
Thandhai tahavaru seidhaan
Thaayum idam koduthaal
Vandhu pirandhu vittom
Verum bandham valarthu vittom
Manadhu thudikindradhu
Mayakkam varugindradhu
Azhudhu laabam enna
Avan aatchi nadakindradhu
Father made a mistake
Mother gave room for it
We were born as a result
And nurtured empty, meaningless bonds
(My) heart is beating fast
(I) feel faint
What’s the point of crying now
His (God’s) rule is reigning
