தாய் மாமன் மீது தாளாத பாசம்
நீ வைத்ததாலே உனக்கென்ன லாபம்
பூ பந்தலோடும்
பொன் ஊஞ்சலோடும்
நீ காணவில்லை கல்யானகோலம்
காவல் துறை ஒன்றுதான் சாட்சியாக
கொண்டேனம்மா உன்னை நான் தாரமாக
The uncontainable affection you had for your maternal uncle
What benefit did you gain by having that?
With a flower canopy and a golden swing
You did not get to see a grand wedding ceremony
With only the police station standing as witness
I took you as my wife, my dear
மேள தாளமில்லை
மனமேடை ஏதுமில்லை
நானும் நீயுமின்றி
ஒரு சொந்தம் ஏதுமில்லை
இதுதான் விதியா இறைவன் சதியா
இளமானே
There were no wedding drums, nor any marriage stage
Apart from you and me, there are no relatives for us
Is this fate or God's conspiracy, my young deer?

வாடாமல் காப்பேன் தாயான பெண்ணை
வளைகாப்பு போட நான்தானே அன்னை
மாதங்கள் ஏழு ஆயாச்சு கண்ணே
வேலைகள் செய்ய கூடாது சொன்னேன்
நான் அல்லவா சேவைகள் செய்ய வண்டும்
கால் வீங்கினால் என் மனம் நொந்து போகும்
I will protect without letting her wither, the woman who has become a mother
To conduct the bangle-wearing ceremony, I am the mother myself
Seven months have passed now, my dear
I told you that you shouldn't do household chores
Shouldn't it be me who performs all services for you?
If your feet swell, my heart aches in pain
வாச பொன்மலராய்
ஒளி வீசும் வெண்ணிலவாய்
ஆசை காவியமாய்
விழி பேசும் ஓவியமாய்
மகனும் வருவான் சுகமும் தருவான்
கலங்காதே
Like a fragrant golden flower, like a beaming full moon
Like an epic of desire, like a painting whose eyes speak
A son will arrive and bring comfort, do not worry

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This powerful track from Kizhakku Karai (1991), penned by Vaali, blends themes of defiant courage, romantic devotion, and tender care during pregnancy. The chorus and opening refrain set a bold, fearless mood, declaring that no natural disaster—whether thunder, lightning, or earthquake—can shake their resolve or take away their hold over Kizhakku Karai (the eastern coast). Highlighting spiritual strength, classical verses from the Mahishasura Mardini Stotram are interspersed within the song. The verse sections detail a personal narrative where the hero reflects on their simple marriage, conducted without traditional fanfare under unusual circumstances, yet rooted in deep mutual bond. In the second stanza, he lovingly attends to his pregnant wife during her seventh month, taking on all household chores himself, reassuring her that their upcoming child will bring endless joy and completion to their life.
Writing craft
Poetic devices
Iyaibu (Rhyming Endings / Consonance)
“Mayakkam kalakkam thayakkam nadukkam ini yedhu”
Multiple words ending with the same rhythmic suffix (-akkam) in succession create a rapid, driving internal rhythm.
Monai & Edhugai (Initial and Second-Letter Rhyme)
“Engal nenjam anjiduma / Engal kangal thunjiduma”
The repetition of 'Engal' at the start of adjacent lines (Monai) alongside the matching second consonant 'ng' (Edhugai) enhances lyrical cohesion.
Uvamaani (Simile)
“Vaasa ponmalaraai oli veesum vennilavaai / Aasai kaaviyamaai vizhi pesum oviyamaai”
The poet compares the expectant mother to a fragrant flower, a glowing moon, and a speaking painting using the comparison suffix 'aai'.
