அநியாயம் இந்த உலகிலே
அழியாமல் வாழ்ந்திடுதே வாழ்ந்திடுதே
Injustice in this world,
Uninvited, persists and lives on!
பிழையேதுமே புரியாமலே
பழி பாவம் சூழ்ந்திடுதே
பிழையேதுமே புரியாமலே
பழி பாவம் சூழ்ந்திடுதே....
Without committing any fault at all,
Blame and sin surround us.
Without committing any fault at all,
Blame and sin surround us.
துன்மார்க்கரெல்லாம்
தூயவரை சூழ்ச்சியினாலே
துடிதுடித்தே மடியும் வண்ணம்
சிலுவையில் அறைந்தாரே
பிழையேதுமே புரியாமலே
பழி பாவம் சூழ்ந்திடுதே
All the wicked men,
Through their conspiracy against the pure one,
Caused Him to suffer excruciating pain and die,
As they nailed Him to the cross.
Without committing any fault at all,
Blame and sin surround us.
பாரில் நம்மை காக்கவன்றோ
ஏசு வந்து பிறந்தார்
பண்பிழந்தோர் செய்கையினால்
குருதியும் சொரிந்தார்
Was it not to protect us on this earth,
That Jesus came and was born?
Yet due to the acts of the uncultured,
He shed His precious blood.
மறந்து மென்மேலே
பாபத்தை செய்து வந்தாலே
இறைவன் முன்னே பதில் சொல்லும் நாள்
இறுதியில் வருமே.......
If people forget and continue,
To commit sins again and again,
The day to answer before God,
Will ultimately arrive at the end!
பிழையேதுமே புரியாமலே
பழி பாவம் சூழ்ந்திடுதே
பிழையேதுமே புரியாமலே
பழி பாவம் சூழ்ந்திடுதே....
Without committing any fault at all,
Blame and sin surround us.
Without committing any fault at all,
Blame and sin surround us.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song reflects on the prevalence of injustice in society and the suffering of the innocent. It draws a powerful spiritual analogy to Jesus Christ, who was born to save humanity but was betrayed, tortured, and crucified by the wicked despite committing no wrong. The song serves as a solemn moral warning that people who continue to sin with indifference will ultimately have to stand before God and answer for their deeds on judgment day.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Adukku Thodar (Repetition for Emphasis)
“Azaiyaamal vaazhnthiduthae vaazhnthiduthae”
The phrase 'vaazhnthiduthae vaazhnthiduthae' repeats the verb to emphasize the persistent and dominant nature of evil in the world.
Ethirai (Second Letter Rhyme)
“Pizhaiyaethumae puriyaamalae / Pazhi paavam soozhnthiduthae”
Rhyming of the second letter 'zhi' in 'Pizhaiyaethumae' and 'Pazhi' creates rhythmic harmony across lines.
Moona (Initial Alliteration)
“Pizhaiyaethumae puriyaamalae”
Alliteration of the initial 'P' sound ('Pizhaiyaethumae', 'puriyaamalae') enhances the poetic resonance.
Imagery / Adukku Thodar
“Thudithudiththae madiyum vannam”
'Thudithudiththae' uses reduplication to vividly describe excruciating physical agony and intense suffering.
