Even God stands with open hands,
Only asking for kindness in this world.
Even God stands with open hands,
Only asking for kindness in this world.
A forgiving heart is God's own shrine;
There is peace in losing so that others may live well.
Will the past ever fade, or will things ever change?
Even God stands with open hands,
Only asking for kindness in this world.
At times, the journey of life
is a sweet, fond memory;
At times, life becomes a battlefield.
At times, inside the human mind,
wild beasts seem to awaken;
At times, the heart yearns deeply for love.
The human heart is a temple,
if only the conscience speaks;
Even sorrows can turn into joy
when loving bonds come together.
The bonds of this lifetime come only once;
The lap of the ocean is the dream of every flowing river.
Even God stands with open hands,
Only asking for kindness in this world.
A life is granted to everyone
right from the moment of birth;
Yet who can say whose life rests in whose hands?
A migrating bird wanders and searches
for a place of its own to live;
To a restless bird, a blossoming tree is its temple.
"He is good" or "he is bad"—
who can truly judge?
Fate may change, and answers may change,
but will the hands that give ever change?
Experience is truly the lesson of this life;
In the end, the heart only searches for peace.
Even God stands with open hands,
Only asking for kindness in this world.
Even God stands with open hands,
Only asking for kindness in this world.
A forgiving heart is God's own shrine;
There is peace in losing so that others may live well.
Will the past ever fade, or will things ever change?
Even God stands with open hands,
Only asking for kindness in this world.
Even God stands with open hands,
Only asking for kindness in this world.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song 'Kaiyenthi Nirpaan Kadavule' from Kozhipannai Chelladurai explores deep philosophical themes of human compassion, forgiveness, and destiny. It emphasizes that divinity resides not just in temples, but in a forgiving heart and a clean conscience. The lyrics depict life as an unpredictable journey full of sweet memories, battlefields, and internal human conflicts, reminding us that true peace comes from selflessness and compassion toward others. Through metaphors of rivers reaching the sea and birds seeking a sheltering tree, the song meditates on the search for belonging, peace, and ultimate purpose. It asserts that while fate and life circumstances constantly change, the act of giving, loving, and understanding remains timeless.
