Love is a human's house of joy,
seek meditation within it every day.
Love is a human's house of joy,
seek meditation within it every day.
Sorrows will never come
near your side, O man.
When you realize what you do is wrong,
find a way to change it.
If you forget this, never
will the world respect you.
Believe the dawn rises for you,
respect every living creature.
Share your food fairly with others,
find joy in true friendship.
The spinning earth will revolve around you,
realize this with firm conviction.
Love is a human's house of joy,
seek meditation within it every day.
When the sky showers rain,
it brings joy to this earth.
If this earth flourishes,
every day smells of blooming flowers.
Naa naa na na na na na
Noble thoughts,
cultivate them within your heart!
As one born to conquer the world,
make the town speak of your greatness!
By knowing who you are,
by finding the clarity of truth,
if you live a life useful to everyone,
the earth will bow, and the sky will bow to you,
if the flower of peace spreads at the sight of you.
Believe the dawn rises for you,
respect every living creature.
Share your food fairly with others,
find joy in true friendship.
The spinning earth will revolve around you,
realize this with firm conviction.
Love is a human's house of joy,
seek meditation within it every day.
A prison cell can be a Bodhi tree (tree of enlightenment),
bringing clarity to the path of your mind.
Even pain as huge as a mountain
will melt away like morning dew.
Naa naa na na na na na
Our mother's only wish
is for us to live well, my friend.
If you bow at her feet each day,
life will truly be beautiful.
The mistakes you make—
think before committing them,
and if you sweep them away,
no trouble will ever come,
no sorrow will ever touch you,
once you understand that love is God (Anbe Sivam).
Believe the dawn rises for you,
respect every living creature.
Share your food fairly with others,
find joy in true friendship.
The spinning earth will revolve around you,
realize this with firm conviction.
Love is a human's house of joy,
seek meditation within it every day.
Sorrows will never come
near your side, O man.
When you realize what you do is wrong,
find a way to change it.
If you forget this, never
will the world respect you.
Believe the dawn rises for you,
respect every living creature.
Share your food fairly with others,
find joy in true friendship.
The spinning earth will revolve around you,
realize this with firm conviction.
Love is a human's house of joy.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This philosophical song from 'Thayumanavan' delivers a profound message about human values, righteousness, and inner peace. Sung soulfully by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, it encourages self-reflection, compassion towards all living beings, and living a life dedicated to truth and love. The lyrics urge one to treat human life as a temple of happiness and meditation, correcting mistakes before they escalate into suffering. The song further highlights the importance of sharing food, honoring one's mother, and realizing that love is the ultimate divine truth ('Anbe Sivam'). It uses vivid metaphors, such as comparing a prison cell to the Bodhi tree of enlightenment and mountain-sized pain fading like morning mist, to emphasize that wisdom and noble thoughts can overcome any hardship. Ultimately, it promises that a person who lives selflessly and truthfully will win the respect of both earth and heaven.
