Your body is free of disease
If sleep comes when you lie down
Life is like a sacred ritual for you

Without sleeping, life
A few groups go searching for it
கண்ண மூடியும்
தூக்கம் வரலையே எனக்கு
Even after closing my eyes
Sleep does not come to me
என்ன முடியல
மனுஷன் போடுற கணக்கு
Cannot be comprehended
The calculations made by humans
கோடி கதைகள
இருட்டு சொல்லுதே நமக்கு
Crores of stories, the darkness
Is telling them to us
தேடி பாருடா வாழ்க்க
தொறந்து தான் கெடக்கு
Search and see, man, life
Is lying wide open
பணந்தான் மனுஷங்கள
வேட்டையாடி சிரிக்குதுடா பங்காளி
Money is what hunts humans
And laughs at them, my friend
அத நம்பி ஓடுறவன்
எல்லாருமே கோமாளி
The one who runs believing in it
Everyone is a clown
வாழ்க்க ஒரு ரகசியம்டா
அத புரிஞ்சுக்கிட்டா அதிசியம்டா
Life is a secret, man

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Adiyaathi from the movie Paramporul is an upbeat philosophical song composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja and penned by Snehan. The track offers a gritty, pragmatic reflection on modern life, greed, and societal pretense. It warns against placing traps for others, piling up endless toxic desires, and judging people superficially. The song asserts that true wealth consists simply of good health, appetite, and peaceful sleep without unnecessary mental anxiety. The lyrics further critique humanity's obsessive chase after money, metaphorically framing money as a hunter that laughs while making fools out of people. Reminding the listener that life is a temporary stage and an open book, the song encourages living authentically without putting on righteous acts or overthinking life's complexities.
