ஏழேழு ஜென்ம பந்தம் மனைவி என்பது
இதில் நீ வேறு நான் வேறு யார் சொன்னது
கல்யாணமே ஒரு தெய்வீகமே
சம்சாரமே அதன் சந்தோசமே
ஒரு வானும் நிலவும் பிரிந்து வாழுமா......

Who said that you and I are separate in this?

வெத்திலையில் பாக்கு வச்சு
பத்து பேரை சாட்சி வச்சு
தித்திக்கிற ஆசைக்கெல்லாம்
தேதி ஒன்னு உருவாச்சு
Placing betel nuts over betel leaves,
Having ten people as witnesses,
For all the sweet desires,
A wedding date was fixed.
அஃநிய சாட்சி வச்சு
கை விரலை சேத்து வச்சு
இன்பம் துன்பம் இரண்டிலுமே
இணைந்திருக்க முடிவாச்சு
Keeping the sacred fire as witness,
Holding hands together,
In both joy and sorrow,
A decision was made to stay united.
பள்ளியறை பள்ளியிலே படிக்கும் இன்ப வேதம்
பிள்ளை மணிச் செல்வங்களே அன்னை தந்த கீதம்
இது பழங்கால பாதை ஒரு சுக வாழ்வின் கீதை
In the school of the bedchamber,
The sweet scripture of love is learned.
Male: Precious children are the ultimate wealth,
A divine song gifted by the mother.
Female: This is an age-old tradition,
A song for a life of joy.
ஏழேழு ஜென்ம பந்தம் மனைவி என்பது
இதில் நீ வேறு நான் வேறு யார் சொன்னது
Being a wife is a bond that spans across seven lifetimes.
Who said that you and I are separate in this?
சந்தனத்து மழை அடிக்க
சந்திரனும் கொடை புடிக்க
செங்கமலச் சூரியன் போல்
செல்ல மகன் பிறப்பானே
As a shower of sandalwood rain falls,
And the moon holds up an umbrella,
Bright as a red lotus sun,
A beloved son will be born.
தங்கத்திலே தூளி கட்டி
வைரத்திலே மாலை கட்டி
தத்தி வரும் பாதத்துக்கு
முத்து மணி தொடுப்பேனே
Tying a cradle woven in gold,
Crafting a garland made of diamonds,
For his tiny, toddling feet,
I will string precious pearl beads.
துள்ளி வரும் பிள்ளை நிலா தூய கங்கை மீனு
செம்பவள வாய் திறந்தால் சிந்தி சிதறும் தேனு
நம் பேர் சொல்ல தானே பிறக்கும் ஒரு மானே
A playful child like the shining moon,
Like a fish in the holy Ganges.
Female: When his coral-red mouth opens,
Honey spills and overflows.
Male: To carry on our name,
A dear fawn-like child will be born.
ஏழேழு ஜென்ம பந்தம் மனைவி என்பது
இதில் நீ வேறு நான் வேறு யார் சொன்னது

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
The song 'Ezhuezhu Jenma Bandham' from Therku Theru Machan (1992) is a deeply emotional duet celebrating the sanctity of marriage, marital togetherness, and the tender anticipation of parenthood. The couple reflects on the belief that a husband and wife are linked across seven births, emphasizing that their souls are inseparable, much like the sky and the moon. The lyrics narrate the journey from traditional wedding rituals—witnessed by family elders and the sacred fire—to building a happy home together. In the second half, the couple dreamingly paints vivid pictures of their future child, envisioning a precious baby who will bring supreme joy and carry forward their family legacy.
