உறவே நீ

வாராயோ வழி மறந்தே
நின்றேன் கரைகளை கடந்து
வா வளந்து வா நிலா உயிரே
You alone are my relation
Mother, you gave birth to me
Oh melody of painful struggles
Is this what life is?
Won't you come?
I stood here, having lost my way
Come, crossing beyond the shores
Grow and bloom, my moon
Oh my life / my soul...
