| Aandavan thoorigaiyil | On God's paintbrush |
| Nee manuda oviyam | You are a human painting |
| Arai nodi kobathilum | Even in half a second of anger |
| Un vannam poi vidum | Your true colors will fade away |
| Male | |
| Yaanai pol thondrum kobam | Anger that appears as large as an elephant |
| Erumbaaga theindhae pogum.. | Will erode away until it is small like an ant.. |
| Kaathiru …kaathiru | Wait... wait |
| Aathiram serthae vaikkum | To store up rage and fury |
| Paathiram illai nenjam | The heart is not a vessel |
| Oru vazhi paadhai vaazhkai maravaadhae | Life is a one-way path, do not forget |
| Male | |
| Maravaadhae manamae | Do not forget, oh heart |
| Siru thavaraalae uyir pari pogum | Due to a small mistake, life can be lost |

ஆண்டவன் தூரிகையில்
நீ மானுட ஓவியம்
அரை நொடி கோபத்திலும்
உன் வண்ணம் போய் விடும்
On God's paintbrush
You are a human painting
Even in half a second of anger
Your true colors will fade away
யானை போல் தோன்றும் கோபம்
எறும்பாக தேய்ந்தே போகும்....
காத்திரு......காத்திரு
ஆத்திரம் சேர்த்தே வைக்கும்
பாத்திரம் இல்லை நெஞ்சம்
ஒரு வழி பாதை வாழ்க்கை மறவாதே
Anger that appears as large as an elephant
Will erode away until it is small like an ant..
Wait... wait
To store up rage and fury
The heart is not a vessel
Life is a one-way path, do not forget
மறவாதே மனமே
சிறு தவறாலே உயிர் பறிபோகும்
மறவாதே மனமே வாழ்விலே
மறவாதே மனமே
உன் நிழல்கூட உன் கால் வரும்
மறவாதே மனமே வாழ்விலே
Do not forget, oh heart
Due to a small mistake, life can be lost
Do not forget, oh heart, in life
Do not forget, oh heart
Even your own shadow will trip your feet
Do not forget, oh heart, in life
சூழ்நிலையின் கையில் நீயும்
சோழி என மாறிடலாமா
காற்றில் தூசு போல்
உன் காலம் போவதா
காய்ச்சு வெச்ச இரும்பின் மேலே
ஊற்றிடும் நீரை போலே
சீறி பாய்வதா
உன்னை கோபம் ஆள்வதா
In the hands of circumstances
Should you turn into a mere cowrie shell pawn?
Like dust scattered in the wind
Will your precious time be wasted?
Upon red-hot iron
Like water being poured
Will you hiss and explode in rage?
Will anger rule over you?
யாரோ ஒரு இனியவனை
உன் சினம் பெரும் பகை ஆக்கிவிடும்
யாரோ ஒரு கொடியவனை
புன்னகை தோழமை ஆக்கி தரும்
Someone who is sweet and kind
Your wrath will turn into an enemy
Someone who is cruel and malicious
A gentle smile can transform into a friend
ஆண்டவன் தூரிகையில்
நீ மானுட ஓவியம்
அரை நொடி கோபத்திலும்
உன் வண்ணம் போய் விடும்
On God's paintbrush
You are a human painting
Even in half a second of anger
Your true colors will fade away
Aandavan thoorigaiyil
On God's paintbrush
Nee manuda oviyam
You are a human painting
Arai nodi kobathilum
Even in half a second of anger
Un vannam poi vidum
Your true colors will fade away
Yaanai pol thondrum kobam
Anger that appears as large as an elephant
Erumbaaga theindhae pogum..
Will erode away until it is small like an ant..
Kaathiru …kaathiru
Wait... wait
Aathiram serthae vaikkum
To store up rage and fury
Paathiram illai nenjam
The heart is not a vessel
Oru vazhi paadhai vaazhkai maravaadhae
Life is a one-way path, do not forget
Maravaadhae manamae
Do not forget, oh heart
Siru thavaraalae uyir pari pogum
Due to a small mistake, life can be lost
Maravaadhae manamae vaazhvilae
Do not forget, oh heart, in life
Maravaadhae manamae
Do not forget, oh heart
Un nizhal kooda un kaal vaarum
Even your own shadow will trip your feet
Maravaadhae manamae vaazhvilae
Do not forget, oh heart, in life

Kaatril dhoosu pol
Like dust scattered in the wind
Un kaalam povadha
Will your precious time be wasted?
Kaaichu vecha irumbin melae
Upon red-hot iron
Ootridum neerai pola
Like water being poured
Seeri paaivadha
Will you hiss and explode in rage?
Unnai kobam aalvadha
Will anger rule over you?
Yaaro oru iniyavanai

Nee manuda oviyam
You are a human painting
Arai nodi kobathilum
Even in half a second of anger
Un vannam poi vidum
Your true colors will fade away
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This philosophical song serves as a poignant reminder about the destructive nature of anger and the importance of emotional restraint in human life. It compares a human being to a magnificent work of art created by God, which can be instantly ruined by even a split second of unchecked rage. The lyrics emphasize that life is a one-way journey where a single impulsive mistake can lead to irreparable ruin.
