Ullam enbadhu aamai
Adhil unmai enbadhu oomai
Sollil varuvadhu paadhi
Nenjil thoongi kidappadhu needhi
The heart is like a tortoise
(In it) truth lies mute
Words express only half
What remains dormant is the truth (what’s just)
Dheivam endraal adhu dheivam
Verum silai endraal adhu silaidhaan
Undu endraal adhu undu
Illai endraal adhu illai
Illai endraal adhu illai
If you say it’s God, it is God
Or if you say it’s only a statue, then it’s only a statue
If you say it is, it is
If you say it isn’t, then it isn’t.
(Undu means it is there or it exists, illai means no, or it’s not there)
Thanneer thaNal pol eriyum
Senthalum neer pol kulirum
Nanbanum pagai pol theriyum
Adhu naal pada naal pada puriyum
naal pada naal pada puriyum
Cool water will feel like hot coal
Hot coal will feel like cool water
Friend will seem enemy
That will be clearer (to understand) as days go by
