| Male | |
| Chandiranae suriyanae | Oh Moon, Oh Sun! |
| Natchathira nayaganae | Oh hero of the stars! |
| Chandiranae suriyanae | Oh Moon, Oh Sun! |
| Natchathira nayaganae | Oh hero of the stars! |
| Male | |
| Kizhakku veluthadhada | The eastern sky brightened up, |
| Manasum angae sivanthadhada | And my heart turned red over there. |
| Sutta vadu aarala | The burn scar has not healed, |
| Nenjil patta pinbu maarala | Once struck in the heart, it does not change. |
| Male | |
| Nenjilae neruppa vecha | If a fire is lit inside the heart, |
| Neerum anaika mudiyuma | Can water ever extinguish it? |
| Kannilae mullu thaicha | If a thorn pierces the eye, |
| Imaiyam mooda mudiyuma | Can the eyelids ever close? |
| Bharatha kadhayunkooda | Even the epic story of Mahabharata |
| Pazhiyil mudinja kaviyam than | Is a saga that concluded in vengeance. |
| Male | |
| Irupathum irapathum | Living and dying, |
| Antha iyarkayoda kayila | Are both in the hands of Nature. |
| Naan maranja pinnum nilaipathu | What endures even after I disappear, |
| En uyir ezhudhum kadhayila | Is in the story written by my soul. |

சந்திரனே சூரியனே
நட்சத்திர நாயகனே
சந்திரனே சூரியனே
நட்சத்திர நாயகனே
Oh Moon, Oh Sun!
Oh hero of the stars!
Oh Moon, Oh Sun!
Oh hero of the stars!
கிழக்கு வெளுத்ததடா
மனசும் அங்கே சிவந்ததடா
சுட்ட வடு ஆறல
நெஞ்சில் பட்ட பின்பு மாறல
The eastern sky brightened up,
And my heart turned red over there.
The burn scar has not healed,
Once struck in the heart, it does not change.
நெஞ்சிலே நெருப்ப வச்சா
நீரும் அனைக்க முடியுமா
கண்ணிலே முல்லு தைச்சா
இமையை மூட முடியுமா
பாரத கதையுங்கூட பழியில்
முடிஞ்ச காவியம்தான்
If a fire is lit inside the heart,
Can water ever extinguish it?
If a thorn pierces the eye,
Can the eyelids ever close?
Even the epic story of Mahabharata
Is a saga that concluded in vengeance.
இருப்பதும் இறப்பதும்
அந்த இயற்கையோட கையில
நான் மறைஞ்ச பின்னும்
நிலைப்பது என் உயிர் எழுதும் கதையில
Living and dying,
Are both in the hands of Nature.
What endures even after I disappear,
Is in the story written by my soul.
சந்திரனே சூரியனே
நட்சத்திர நாயகனே
சந்திரனே சூரியனே
நட்சத்திர நாயகனே
Oh Moon, Oh Sun!

Chandiranae suriyanae
Oh Moon, Oh Sun!

Bharatha kadhayunkooda
Even the epic story of Mahabharata
Pazhiyil mudinja kaviyam than
Is a saga that concluded in vengeance.
Irupathum irapathum
Living and dying,
Antha iyarkayoda kayila
Are both in the hands of Nature.
Naan maranja pinnum nilaipathu
What endures even after I disappear,
En uyir ezhudhum kadhayila

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a deep philosophical reflection on suffering, inner turmoil, and destiny. The speaker addresses cosmic elements like the sun, moon, and stars while processing deep emotional wounds that cannot be healed or quenched by physical means. Through metaphors of fire, eye injuries, and an allusion to the Mahabharata, the song reflects on how human lives are bound by retribution and nature's inescapable laws. Ultimately, it expresses that while physical existence is temporary and controlled by nature, the story crafted by one's soul endures forever.
