கலங்காதே மயங்காதே
உண்மை இல்லா நன்மை ஒன்று
உரைத்தேனே உனக்காக
நம்பிக்கை தான் வாழ்க்கை நம்பு
Do not feel distressed, do not be confused.
I spoke a untruth only for your own good.
Faith is life itself, have faith.
சில பிரிவுகள் பல முடிவுகள்
உறவுக்குள்ளே கதவுகள்
சில கடிதங்கள் பல கவிதைகள்
தீயில் விழுந்த சிறகுகள்
ஒரு குழந்தையாய் நீ என் கண்ணுக்குள் கண்ணா
ஒரு கோளையாய் உன்னாலே நின்றேன் நான்
A few separations, many conclusions, doors within relationships.
A few letters, many poems, wings fallen into the fire.
To me, you are still a child in my eyes, my dear.
Yet I stood before you like a coward.
கலங்காதே மயங்காதே
உண்மை இல்லா நன்மை ஒன்று
உரைத்தேனே உனக்காக
நம்பிக்கை தான் வாழ்க்கை நம்பு
Do not feel distressed, do not be confused.
I spoke a untruth only for your own good.
Faith is life itself, have faith.
ஆரீரோ ஆறு லட்சம் வண்ணக்கிளி
ஆலமரம் விழுத்தில கூட கட்டி
மழை அடிச்சாலும் புயல் அடிச்சாலும்
எல்லாம் சேர்ந்தே ஒண்ணா வாழும்
Lullaby, my precious colorful bird.
Building a nest in the prop roots of a banyan tree,
Whether rain strikes or a storm blows,
They all live together as one.
அது போல நானும் என் கூட நீயும்
ஒண்ணா சேர்ந்தே வாழ வேணும்
ஒண்ணா சேர்ந்தே வாழ வேணும்
Just like that, I and you beside me,
Must live together as one.
Must live together as one.
Kalangadhae mayangadhae
Do not feel distressed, do not be confused.
Unmai illa nanmai ondru uraithenae unakkaaga
I spoke a untruth only for your own good.
Nanbikkai thaan vaazhkai nambu
Faith is life itself, have faith.
Sila pirivugal pala mudivugal uravukkullae kadhavugal
A few separations, many conclusions, doors within relationships.
Sila kadidhangal pala kavidhaigal theeyil vizhundha siragugal
A few letters, many poems, wings fallen into the fire.
Oru kuzhanthaiyaai innum nee en kannukkul kanna
To me, you are still a child in my eyes, my dear.
Oru kozhaiyaai un munnalae nindrene naan
Yet I stood before you like a coward.
Kalangadhae mayangadhae
Do not feel distressed, do not be confused.
Unmai illa nanmai ondru uraithenae unakkaaga

Nanbikkai thaan vaazhkai nambu
Faith is life itself, have faith.
Aareero aaru latcham vannakkili
Lullaby, my precious colorful bird.
Aalamaram vizhudhula koodu katti
Building a nest in the prop roots of a banyan tree,
Mazhai adichaalum puyal adichaalum
Whether rain strikes or a storm blows,
Ellaam sernthae onna vaazhum
They all live together as one.
Adhu pola naanum en kooda neeyum
Just like that, I and you beside me,
Onna serndhae vaazha venum
Must live together as one.
Onna serndhae vaazha venum
Must live together as one.
Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a tender and emotional expression of love, reconciliation, and family bond from the film 'Anbarivu'. The singer reassures his loved one not to despair or lose faith, confessing that a lie was told only out of good intentions for their protection. Acknowledging past mistakes and vulnerability, the narrator reflects on how cherished memories sometimes feel like wings fallen into fire. Using the metaphor of birds nesting together in a sturdy banyan tree to weather any rain or tempest, the song conveys the central theme of unity. It emphasizes that faith is the foundation of life and expresses a deep desire for the family to overcome all obstacles and live united.
