Make sure, O human

Make sure

Make sure, O human

Make sure

That no one rejoices

Make sure

Make sure, O human

Make sure

That nobody feels glad

Make sure

When you die, that no one

feels happy

Make sure

For tears to shed,

gather a few good reasons

Make sure

What life really is,

just think about it

It is an arrangement

to gather people to weep

If there is no weeping in a house of death,

there is no beauty in it

But for the dead fellow to weep,

there is no chance at all

The wife will weep;

stinging little tears

will flow out with bitterness

The children will weep too;

once a few drops have fallen,

etiquette will hold them back

Those whose hearts are dead inside

do not weep

Those who do not know how to forgive

do not weep

The good man who lent you money

will certainly not weep

And the one who took a loan from you

won't even show up till the end

Mm mm mm mmm

If there is no weeping in a house of death,

there is no beauty in it

But for the dead fellow to weep,

there is no chance at all

Make sure, O human

Make sure

Relatives will weep,

if for a death in their family

you had gone and wept

The workers will weep,

if beyond their wages

you had shown them deep love

If your neighbor across weeps,

you become a true human

If even your enemies weep,

you become divine

If the pet dog weeps too,

you will become a Buddha

If even the gravedigger weeps,

you will become God Himself

If there is no weeping in a house of death,

there is no beauty in it

But for the dead fellow to weep,

there is no chance at all

Make sure, O human

Make sure

Make sure, O human

Make sure

That no one rejoices

Make sure

Make sure, O human

Make sure

That nobody feels glad

Make sure

When you die, that no one

feels happy

Make sure

For tears to shed,

gather a few good reasons

Make sure

Haan

What life really is,

just think about it

It is an arrangement

to gather people to weep

If there is no weeping in a house of death,

there is no beauty in it

But for the dead fellow to weep,

there is no chance at all

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

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.
