பெண்டாட்டி அழுவாள்
கரிக்கின்ற சிறுகண்ணீர்
கசப்போடு வெளியேறும்
பிள்ளைகளும் அழுவார்கள்
நாலுசொட்டு வந்தவுடன்

The wife will cry
Salty, burning little tears
Will come out with bitterness
The children will also cry
After four drops fall
Civility will put a stop to it
மனமழிந்து போனவர்கள்
அழுவதில்லை
மன்னிக்கத் தெரியாதார்

Those whose hearts are broken
Do not cry
Those who do not know how to forgive
Do not cry

கட்டாயம் அழமாட்டான்
கடன்வாங்கிப் போனவனோ
கடைசிவரை வரமாட்டான்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from 'Naatpadu Theral 2', written by Vairamuthu and sung by Benny Dayal, is a profound philosophical reflection on life, death, and human legacy. It advises human beings to live a life worth remembering, ensuring that when death arrives, people shed genuine tears rather than celebrate or remain indifferent. The lyrics explore various reactions to death—relatives crying out of reciprocal obligation, children restricted by social decorum, and creditors or debtors feeling relieved or detached. The song elevates the measure of a successful life based on who mourns at your funeral. If neighbors cry, you lived as a human; if enemies mourn, you reached divinity; if your dog grieves, you achieved enlightenment like Buddha; and if the gravedigger sheds a tear, you are elevated to Godhood. Ultimately, the song serves as a satire and moral reminder to earn true love and affection before life comes to an end.
