Yaarai nambi naan pirandhen
Pongada ponga
En kaalam vellum
Vendra pinne
Vaangada vaanga
Whom did I trust in when I was born?
Get lost (all of you who turned your back on me)
My time will come when I’ll be victorious (successful)
Then you all will come to me
Kolathilae thanniyille
Kokkum ille meanum ille
Pettiyile panam ille
Petha pull sondham ille
There’s no water in the lake (kulam is actually a public tank)
No birds no fish
There’s no money in the box
The son you begot son isn’t yours anymore
Thennaiya petha ila neeru
Pillaiye petha kanneeru
Pethavanan maname pithamma
Pillayin maname kallamma
Paanayile sorirundha poonaigalum sonndhamada
Vedhanaye pangu vacha Sondhamille bandhamille
If you plant coconut sapling, you get coconut water
If you beget (plant seed for children), you only get tears
Parents’ heart is mad (crazy for kids)
The children’s heart is (cold like) stone
When there is food in the pot
Even cats are your relatives
When you want to share your sorrow
There is no relative, not bonds.
Nenjamirukku thunivaaga
Neramirukkku therlivaga
Ninathal mudippen sariyaaga
Nee yaar naan yaar poda po
Aadiyile kaathadicha aipasiyil mazhai varum
Thedi varum kaalam vandha
sondham ellam odi varum
My heart is strong and brave,
My time is clear,
I’ll finish what I set out to do
Who are you and who am I?
Get lost (Meaning we’ll see who wins in the end, sort of a challenge)
If the wind blows in the month of Adi it will rain in Aipasi (Natural course of events like, if winter is there can spring be far behind type of sentiment)
When (good luck) comes looking for me
All the relatives will come to looking for me (Fair weather people)
