ஊரார் வழக்கை தீர்த்து வைப்பேன்
அதில் நான்தான் நீதிபதி
இன்று எனக்கோர் வழக்கு உன்னிடத்தில்
இதில் நீதான் நீதிபதி
I settle the lives and disputes of the villagers
In those matters, I am the judge
Today I have a case before you
In this case, you are the judge
ஊரார் வழக்கை தீர்த்து வைப்பேன்

Today I have a case before you
In this case, you are the judge
உன் பெயரால் நான் தண்டனை தந்தேன்
தந்தது சரிதானா இல்லை
கண்ணகி வழக்கில் தீர்ப்பு வரைந்த
காவலன் நிலைதானா
இன்னொரு கோவலன் கதை தானா
In your name, I pronounced the punishment
Was it right to give that punishment, or not?
Like the king who gave the verdict in Kannagi's case
Is my fate like that guardian ruler's?
Is this the story of another Kovalan?
உற்றவரென்றும் மற்றவரென்றும்
குற்றம் இழைத்தால் விடலாமா
இன்னார் இனியார் என்பது எல்லாம்
நீதியின் கண்ணில் படலாமா
Whether they are loved ones or strangers
If a crime is committed, can it be forgiven?
Who is dear and who is sweet to us
Should such bias exist in the eyes of justice?
கொண்டவன் என்னை ஏசிடவும்
கண்டவர் சூழ்ச்சி பேசிடவும்
வீண் பழி என் மேல் விழலாமா
நான் வாசலில் வந்து அழலாமா
My husband insults and scolds me
Onlookers speak of conspiracies
Should false blame fall upon me?
Should I stand at the doorstep and cry?
நடந்தது என்னடி தாயே
நாலும் அறிந்தவள் நீயே
நடந்தது என்னடி தாயே
நாலும் அறிந்தவள் நீயே
நீதியை உடனே நிலை நாட்டு
போதும் போதும் விளையாட்டு
What really happened, oh mother?
You are the one who knows everything
What really happened, oh mother?
You are the one who knows everything
Establish justice immediately
Enough, enough of this game

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Ennadi Ennadi Mariamma' from Samayapurathale Satchi (1985) is an emotional and dramatic plea by a woman to Goddess Samayapuram Mariamman. Serving as an arbiter in her village through divine grace, she delivers judgments in the name of the Goddess. However, when her own household falls into disarray due to misunderstandings and allegations, she directly questions the deity about whether the verdicts uttered through her tongue were divine truth or tragic mistakes.

Poetic devices
Allusion (Epi-Historical Reference)
“Kannagi vazhakkil theerppu varaindha / Kaavalan nilaithaana / Innoru kovalan kadhai thaana”
References the famous Tamil epic Silappatikaram, comparing her situation to the misjudged case of Kovalan and the tragedy of the Pandyan king.
Monai (Initial Rhyme / Alliteration)
“Sollaadi solladi sathiyama”
Repetition of the initial 'S' sound ('Sollaadi', 'solladi', 'sathiyama') creates a rhythmic phonetic harmony.
Anaphora (Repetition for Emphasis)
“Saranam saranam saranam saranam”
The frantic repetition of 'Saranam' (Surrender) reinforces the devotee's total surrender and helplessness before the Goddess.
Ethugai (Second-letter Assonance)
“Uttravar endrum mattravar endrum / Kuttram izhaithaal vidalaama”
The second letter 't' (ட்) rhymes across lines ('Uttravar', 'mattravar', 'Kuttram').
