Buddhi ulla manidhnellam vetri nkanbadhillai
Vetri petra manidharellam buddhisali illai
Intelligent people don’t always become successful
All those who succeed are not necessarily intelligent
Panamirukkum manidharidam manam iruppadhillai
Manam irukkum manidharidam panam iruppadhillai
Panamirukkum veetinela vandhadhellam sondham
Panamilladha veetinile sondham ellam thunbam
Those with money, they don’t have the heart (to give)
Those with heart (that’s generous), they don’t have the money
A rich man’s house is full of relatives
In a poor man’s house, every relative is (a cause for pain and ) sorrow
Kanavu kaanum manidhanuku
Kanbadhellam kanavu
Avan kaanuginra kanavinile
Varuvadhellam uravu
Avan kanavil aval varuval avanai paarthu sirppal
Aval kanavil yaar varuvar yaarai paarthu azhaippar?
For a day-dreamer (fantasiser)
Everything he sees is a dream (fantasy)
In the dream that he dreams
There is only relationships
(uravu is relationships, also can be taken to mean sexual relationship)
In his dream, she will come and smile at him
In her dream, who’ll come, And beckon whom?
