எந்நாளும் நீயெனக்கு ஏழு ஜென்ம பந்தம்
I came to your house to serve and live with you
You are the god who accepted me by garlanding me
Male: If tears flow from your eyes
My heart wilts here
Forever, you are my eternal bond of seven births
உன்னை நான் குழந்தையென ஓ......ஓஒ

Thinking of you as a child
I would have lifted and held you in my arms
உம்மடி தாய் மடியாய்
எண்ணி நான் படுத்திருப்பேன்
என்னை நீ கொஞ்சினால்
நெஞ்சில் ஓர் நிம்மதி
Considering your lap as a mother's lap
I would lie down and rest
If you cuddle and pamper me
There is peace in my heart
மன்னிக்கணுமா மன்னிக்கணுமா
சின்னப் பூவே நான் மன்னிக்கணுமா

Should I forgive you, should I forgive you?
எப்போதும் உன் பக்கம்தான்
நானிருப்பேன் புரிஞ்சிக்க
என்னோட பாசத்த நீ போகப் போக பாரு
I will always remain right by your side
Understand that I will always be there
As time goes by, you will witness the depth of my love
ஐயா உன் காலடியில் வாழ்ந்திருப்பேன் தெரிஞ்சுக்க

My lord, understand that I will live at your feet
If you push me away, who is there to protect me?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Mannichchudunga' is an affectionate reconciliation duet between a husband and wife. The song begins with the wife pleading for forgiveness for any unintentional missteps, expressing her deep reverence and dedication toward her husband, whom she views as her guardian god. The husband lovingly responds by reassuring her that a wife's harsh words hold no real fault, affirming that their soulmate bond spans seven lifetimes and that he views her like a precious child and flower. As the song progresses, both express mutual devotion and reliance on each other. The wife promises eternal loyalty at his feet, while the husband confesses that his life finds refuge only in her presence, turning a simple marital disagreement into a heartfelt celebration of marital warmth and companionship.
