Is this fair of you, my beloved?
Why this distress? Come to me.
Claiming me with love,
come and protect me.
Is this fair of you, my beloved?
Why this distress? Come to me.
Think of our tender love and come,
with a softened heart, come embrace me.
Think of our tender love and come,
with a softened heart, come embrace me.
Bringing the gift of joy, my queen,
come show your mercy...
Is this fair of you, my beloved?
Why this distress? Come to me.
You and I are one without any difference,
I could never hate you.
You and I are one without any difference,
I could never hate you.
O Satya, to see your husband's heart,
rise and come to me...
Is this fair of you, my beloved?
Why this distress? Come to me.
Even while my beloved queen is so near,
enduring this pang of longing, come... ah... aa... aa...
Even while my beloved queen is so near,
enduring this pang of longing, come...
Am I meant to suffer so much torment? Is it not all a dream?
Why do you still make the heart of your humble servant
yearn and ache so deeply, my love?
Am I not your beloved husband?
When your flower-soft foot, my graceful lady,
as your devotee bows his head,
strikes against my crown,
I worry that it might hurt you!
Why this anger, my lady?
Won't you show some mercy at least now...?
Ah... aa... aa...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

Azhagallavo endhan piriyae is a dramatic emotional composition from the 1963 mythological film Sree Krishna Arjuna Yudham, with music by Pendyala Nageswara Rao and lyrics by Thanjai N. Ramaiah Dass. Sung by T. M. Soundararajan, the song captures an impassioned plea of love, devotions, and longing (viraham). The protagonist calls upon his beloved queen, questioning her hesitation and anger, while reaffirming that there is no distinction or separation between their souls. Using classical Tamil poetic imagery, the narrator depicts his willingness to bow at her flower-like feet (malarpaadham) and submit his devotion. The song expresses the agony of separation, gentle supplication for grace, and a deep longing for emotional and spiritual union.
