My Krishna, oh my darling, with both hands
Do not hesitate to touch me
Womanhood overflows every day
Do not rule over me every day
கண்ணில் கங்கை ஊறும்
காலம் நாளை மாறும்
நீயொரு பிள்ளை நான் தாயல்ல
வாவென்று சொல்ல நீ வா மெல்ல
இடி இடித்தால் மழை கிடைக்கும்
அடி எடுத்தால் வழி கிடைக்கும்
Tears like the Ganges swell in the eyes
Time will change tomorrow

Aha, the feet will search for a path
A new joy surges forth
The body will gain strength and glow
Aha, a brand new beginning
நாளும் மாற்றம் காணும்
எப்போதும் நேசம் காணும்
ஆண்மையின் அம்சம் உண்டாகுமே
ஏழையென வம்சம் முன்னுறுமே
புலியெனவே எழுந்து விடு
நெருப்பெனவே கொழுந்து விடு
Every day will bring a change
Love will always be present
The essence of strength will emerge
The lineage of the poor will progress
Rise up like a tiger
Blaze bright like a fire
என் அன்பே ஏங்காதே
என் நெஞ்சம் தாங்காதே...ஏ.....ஏ......ஏ....
Oh my beloved, do not yearn
My heart cannot bear it…

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'En Anbe Yaengaathae' from the 1984 film 'Neram Nalla Neram' is an encouraging, motivational, and emotionally tender track written by Vairamuthu. It blends maternal affection with powerful words of encouragement, urging someone facing difficulty—or learning to walk and grow—to hold on to hope and keep trying. Line after line emphasizes perseverance, declaring that effort can overcome any obstacle ('Muyandraal edhuvum mudiyum') and comparing action to natural phenomena like thunder yielding rain. The lyrics build up to an empowering climax, encouraging the listener to rise like a tiger and blaze like fire, predicting a bright future where physical strength, dignity, and miracles manifest. The overall tone is deeply empathetic, uplifting, and filled with gentle optimism.
