Kaadhal endru kavidhai sonnaal
Ulagam rasikkudhu
Kaadhalikkum kadhaiyai sonnaal
Adichi verattudhu
Kaadhal endru kavidhai sonnaal
Ulagam rasikkudhu
Kaadhalikkum kadhaiyai sonnaal
Adichi verattudhu
Yaettalavil mattum thaanga
Kaadhal jeyikkudhu
Veettalavil etti paarthaal oorum eriyudhu
Anjarivu mirugam kooda kaadhal kolludhu
Aararivu manidhan yaeno anbai kolludhu
Vaai kizhiya pesuvorgal vaesham poduraar
Naayai kooda saadhi paarthu saethu vaikkiraar
Naayai kooda saadhi paarthu saethu vaikkiraar
Munnor sonna pagutharivu
Attham palarkku puriyala
Periyavaa sonna anbin
Kuralum kaadhil vizhugala
Saadhi pitham thalaikku yaeri
Needhiyin artham theriyala
Mathavana enni vaazhndhu
Pethavana manasa kanikkala
Gauravam endra kaanal neeril
Karugi pogudhu pinjugal
Kaedu ketta manidhan nenjil
Ethanai kodi nanjugal
Arthamulla indhu madham
Kannadhaasam ezhudhinaar
Artham purindhu yaar ingae
Anbil vaazha pazhaghinaar
Kolai kalavu kollai thaandi
Kaadhal kodum paavamaa
Kalai kavidhai kaadhal enbadhu
Vaazhkkaiyil perum saabamaa
Thandavaalam inai saerndhaal
Rayil adhan mael odudhu
Thandavaalam vambu saerndhaal
Rayil udal mael yerudhu
Paalukku kooda kalappu pasuvai
Thaedi thaedi vaangudhu
Vaazhvukku yengum kalappu uravai
Thaedi poyi kolludhu
Kaasum kaasum kaadhal kondaal
Naadae vandhu vaazhthudhu
Ezhai veettil kaadhal vandhaal
Dheivamum yemanaai maarudhu
Kaadhal endru kavidhai sonnaal
Ulagam rasikkudhu
Kaadhalikkum kadhaiyai sonnaal
Adichi verattudhu
Yaettalavil mattum thaanga

If you recite a poem about love,
the world enjoys it.
But if you tell a real love story,
they beat you and chase you away.
If you recite a poem about love,
the world enjoys it.
But if you tell a real love story,
they beat you and chase you away.
It is only inside books
that love wins.
If you look inside a home, the whole village burns with rage.
Even five-sensed animals fall in love,
yet why do six-sensed humans kill love?
Those who talk big are only putting on an act;
they even check the breed before mating a dog!
They even check the breed before mating a dog!
The rational thought taught by our elders,
many fail to understand its meaning.
The voice of love spoken by the great souls,
does not fall on their ears.
With caste madness going straight to their heads,
they no longer know what justice means.
Living only worrying about what others say,
parents fail to understand their own children's hearts.
In the mirage called family honor,
tender young lives are burnt to ashes.
Inside the wicked hearts of men,
how many millions of poisons dwell?
Meaningful Hinduism (a philosophical work)
was written by poet Kannadasan.
Who here has understood its true meaning
and learned to live in love?
Worse than murder, theft, and robbery,
has love become a terrible sin?
Are art, poetry, and love
a massive curse in life?
When railway tracks stay aligned together,
the train runs smoothly over them.
When railway tracks get ruined by conflict,
the train crushes over living bodies.
Even to get milk, people search high and low
to buy a crossbred cow.
Yet when an inter-caste couple yearns for a life together,
people hunt them down and murder them.
When wealth falls in love with wealth,
the whole land comes to celebrate and bless it.
When love enters a poor person's home,
even God turns into the God of Death.
If you recite a poem about love,
the world enjoys it.
But if you tell a real love story,
they beat you and chase you away.
It is only inside books
that love wins.
If you look inside a home, the whole village burns with rage.
Even five-sensed animals fall in love,
yet why do six-sensed humans kill love?
Those who talk big are only putting on an act;
they even check the breed before mating a dog!
They even check the breed before mating a dog!
If you recite a poem about love,
the world enjoys it.
But if you tell a real love story,
they beat you and chase you away.
