இங்கே மானம்
உள்ள பொண்ணு ஒன்ன
மனம் துடிக்க விட்டாக
மறு தளிக்க வச்சாக மதி
மயங்க வெச்சாக
Here, a self-respecting honorable girl,
They left her heart throbbing with pain,
They made her tremble with grief,
They made her mind swoon in confusion.
பாசம் உள்ள
பொண்ணு ஒன்ன
பரிதவிக்க விட்டாக
துடி துடிக்க விட்டாக
துயர பட விட்டாக
An affectionate girl,
They left her writhing in helplessness,
They left her throbbing in agony,
They left her to suffer in sorrow.
அட எல்லாம்
நெஞ்சோட மூடி மூடி
வெச்ச தன்னால ஒரு
பாசம் அன்போட பாட்டு
எடுத்து தந்த தன்னால
Oh, keeping everything inside her heart,
She kept it closed and hidden all by herself.
With deep affection and love,
She offered it like precious silk by herself.

அம்மை இல்ல
அப்பனும் இல்ல ஆறுதல்

அவளுக்கு இங்க சேரல
She has no mother, nor a father,
There is no one to offer her words of comfort.
The life she longed for,
Did not come together for her here.
ஆளான நாளில்

மாறல அந்த கதை பாதியில்
முடிஞ்சு போனதையா தேறல
Ever since the day she came of age,
The desire she nurtured hasn't changed.
That story ended halfway through,
It slipped away without any resolution.
பச்ச மண்ணு உன்னால
பல பழி சுமந்த தன்னால பாவம்
பழி முன்னால வந்து படருதய்யா
தன்னால
Oh innocent soul, because of you,
She bore many blames all by herself.
Sins and accusations came to light,
Spreading around all by themselves.
கஷ்டத்தை மட்டும்
தூக்கி சுமக்கும் கன்னி இவ
தான் சின்ன மக தான் உத்தமி
ரத்தினம் தான்
Carrying only hardship on her shoulders,
She is this young maiden,
She is a young daughter,
She is a virtuous gem.

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is an emotional lament describing the plight and suffering of an innocent, honorable young woman. Deprived of parental love and left without anyone to offer comfort, she endures heartbreak, broken dreams, and unjust blame. Despite her deep sorrow and the harsh treatment from society, she hides her pain within herself while continuing to offer pure love and selflessness to others. The lyrics highlight her inner strength, purity, and virtue, framing her as an innocent soul ('pacha mannu') and a precious gem ('uththami rathinam') who silently shoulders heavy burdens forced upon her.
