Kadavul kudutha paathi nee
Uyirum kodutha saami nee
Poongaatru paadum kavithaiye
Poo pola sirikum kulanthaiye
Kadavul kudutha paathi nee
Uyirum kodutha saami nee
En jeevan un kaiyil thanthenadi
Innoru ammavum nee thanadi
Thunaiyai irupavale unathu aruginile
Maru piraviyai naan meendum ketpene
Paasam pongum moochu kaatre
Thaayai pole kaathu irukum
Innum konjam naatkalile
Uyirodu uyir serum nerathile
Magale kaathu irukkindren
Magale kaathu irukkindren
Kadavul kudutha paathi nee
Uyirum kodutha saami nee
Poongaatru paadum kavithaiye
Poo pola sirikum kulanthaiye
Kadavul kudutha paathi nee
Uyirum kodutha saami nee
You are the other half God gave me,
You are the god who gave me life.
A poem sung by the gentle breeze,
A child who smiles like a flower.
You are the other half God gave me,
You are the god who gave me life.
I have placed my life in your hands, my love,
You are truly another mother to me.
To be near you, my companion in life,
I would ask to be born again.
O breath overflowing with love,
Waiting just like a mother,
In just a few more days,
When life comes together with life,
My daughter, I am waiting.
My daughter, I am waiting.
You are the other half God gave me,
You are the god who gave me life.
A poem sung by the gentle breeze,
A child who smiles like a flower.
You are the other half God gave me,
You are the god who gave me life.
