எந்த கவிஞன் கலைஞனுக்கும் கவலைகள் இருக்கும்
இந்த மயக்கத்தில் விழுந்ததும் அமைதியும் கிடைக்கும்
அந்த கதையில் எழுதி வைத்த விதிபடி நடக்கும்

For any poet or artist,
Sorrows will always exist.
Once falling into this trance,
Peace will also be found.
Things happen according to destiny,
Written in that story.
Let whatever happens happen, what sorrow is there in that?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song is a melancholic and philosophical expression of existential detachment and fatalism. The protagonist reflects on the fruitlessness of joy and sorrow, comparing life to a blind person's eye—devoid of direction or clarity. Disillusioned by ruined family life and lost personal rights, he embraces a solitary, ascetic existence while finding temporary refuge in alcohol and singing to ease his heavy heart. Through Vaali's profound lyrics, the protagonist adopts a cynical yet peaceful acceptance of destiny, concluding that weeping and laughing hold equal meaning in a world driven by predetermined fate. Music and intoxication serve as his final tools for catharsis and mental peace amidst life's inherent suffering.
