Female :Maaradhu en nilaiye
Veroda gnyaayam illai

Poovidhazhil dhinam vazhiyum
Thaen kudikkum vandiname
Neeraadum thaamaraiye
Verodu kobamenna

O lotus bathing in the water,
why this anger toward your roots?
Female: My state will not change,
there is no fairness from the roots.
If you keep your petals closed and folded,
will your fragrance ever spread?
Female: If lightning strikes a flower,
can its petals bear the blow?
If we unite, it brings motherhood,
and the whole world will be in your hands.
Female: The entire race of men
is just a swarm of bees that drinks the honey
flowing each day from flower petals.
O lotus bathing in the water,
why this anger toward your roots?
Female: My state will not change,
there is no fairness from the roots.
As fire consumes a garland of flowers,
time simply stands by and watches.
Male: When you call a sacred lamp a destructive fire,
even the wind breaks into a sweat.
Your mind is full of wrong calculations;
Male: why keep arguing and quarreling now?
Female: A flower can never hold hands
and live alongside a storm.
With a false man like you, what life is left for me?
The wedding garland tied around you
will never wither into dry leaves.
Even seven lifetimes are not enough, come unite with me.
O lotus bathing in the water,
why this anger toward your roots?
Female: My state will not change,
there is no fairness from the roots.
Hey, in a cart pulled by two bullocks,
if one bull turns stubborn and refuses to pull,
when will we reach our town? The day is slipping away!
The bed you offered was a trick of illusion,
you sprinkled flowers with tears.
Male: The truth beneath the blanket...
closing your eyes, you caused deadly grief.
Female: The clouds churn across the entire sky,
Male: yet the rain-soaked earth will find its cool.
When a rushing river flows forward,
it does not search for the sky.
What ties can there be with darkness when light is shining?
Male: A river will never fail
to reach and merge with the sea,
becoming one, life uniting with life.
O lotus bathing in the water,
why this anger toward your roots?
Female: My state will not change,
there is no fairness from the roots.
If you keep your petals closed and folded,
will your fragrance ever spread?
Female: If lightning strikes a flower,
can its petals bear the blow?
If we unite, it brings motherhood,
and the whole world will be in your hands.
Female: The entire race of men
is just a swarm of bees that drinks the honey
flowing each day from flower petals.
