விலையே இல்ல தான்
The father as the child,
the child as the father,
living by swapping roles,

Inside the father's heart,
there lies a nurturing womb,

Who said here
that the sky is the highest limit?
This bond filled with love
surpasses even that!
பொன்னும் பொருளும் தேவை இல்லை
அழுக்கில்லை புன்னகை பொதுமுள்ள்
ஒத்திகை இல்லா வாழ்கையில
உறவும் பாசமும் வாழ்வில்ல
Gold and wealth are not needed,
a spotless smile is enough.
In a life without rehearsals,
relationship and affection live on.

எல்லாம் ஏழ இல்லடா
எங்க அன்புக்கிங்க கடவுள் கூட
ஈடு இல்லடா

To our deep love,
even God is no match, my friend!
