ஷக்தி ரித்விக், லயா, அஜித் மற்றும் மெஹுல்
There are two sparrows in a single nest
A jackal is howling in the middle of the forest
ஒரு கூட்டுல ரெண்டு குருவியாம்
நடு காட்டுல நரி கூவுதாம்
Seeing that, they are terrified quickly
Here, a new wind is blowing
அது பாத்து பயப்படுதே வெரசா
இங்க காத்து அடிக்குதே புதுசா
Bringing binding wire after buying it
We are going to tie and build
If we get a whole bundle, all problems will end
கட்டு கம்பி வாங்கி வந்து கட்டும்
கட்ட போறோம்
கத்தயா கெடச்ச மொத்தமா தீரும்
There is no worry here
There is no hardship at all
கவல இங்க இல்ல
கஷ்டம் ஏதும் இல்ல
Tiny little bush plants
We touched and plucked them
In the field where paddy seeds were sown
We leaped and jumped with joy
கன்னி வல விரிப்போம்
கரண்டுக்குள்ள
Inside the banana grove
While spreading the trap net
Both: To get it conveniently trapped
We prayed sincerely
பாவக்க படுமேல
கோவக்க கொடி மேல
மீன் கொத்தி கிள மேல
முயல புடிப்போமா
Gathering neem seeds by the handful
We poured and handed them over
A whole sack of peanuts
We peeled and tied them up
மல்லாட்ட கல்லாக்கா
மரத்துல பறிச்சோம் முருங்கக்கா
மடியில இருந்து சொல்லக்கா
முயல புடிப்போமா
Nothing crossed our minds
Where we ought to go
Both: We don't know, we don't know
We got trapped
சின்ன சின்ன முக்கு செடி
தொட்டு பறிச்சோம்
வெத நெல்லு விட்ட வயலுல
துள்ளி குடிச்சோம்
A test/examination is happening here
Heart is panicking a little
It is feeling very scary
வாழ தோப்புகுள்ள
வலைய விரிக்கியில
இருவர் :
வசமா கெடைக்க
வேண்டிகிட்டோம்
Just this one last time
There is no other way
Both: What should we do to end our troubles?
வேப்பம் கொட்ட அள்ளிவந்து
கொட்டி கொடுத்தோம்
மூட்ட மல்லட்டா
உரிச்சி கட்டி எடுத்து
The salt in the pot here
Is popping and crackling
The two cooking pots and vessels
Are shattering and scattering
எதுவும் தோனவில்ல
எங்க போறதுனு
இருவர் :
தெரியல தெரியல
மாட்டி கிட்டோம்
Brinjals have grown on the plant
Leaning heavily in bunches
The milk from the cactus plant
Is overflowing in potfuls
It spills over, shall we measure it?
பரிச்சயா இங்க நடக்குது
கொஞ்சம் பதருது
ரொம்ப பயமா இருக்குது
கடைசியா இங்க ஒருத்தரம்
வேற வழி இல்ல
இருவர் :
எங்க தொல்ல தீற என்ன பண்ண
பாவக்க படுமேல
கோவக்க கொடி மேல
மீன் கொத்தி கிள மேல
முயல புடிப்போமா
மல்லாட்ட கல்லாக்கா
மரத்துல பறிச்சோம் முருங்கக்கா
மடியில இருந்து சொல்லக்கா
முயல புடிப்போமா மேல
சொக்க பான உப்பு இங்க
தெறிக்குது தெறிக்குது
சோத்து பான சட்டி ரெண்டு
செதருது செதருது
கத்திரிக்கா காச்சிருக்க
கொத்து கொத்த சாஞ்சிருக்க
கள்ளி செடி பாலும்
கொடங்கொடமா பொங்கி வழியுது அளப்போமா
பாவக்க படுமேல
கோவக்க கொடி மேல
மீன் கொத்தி கிள மேல
முயல புடிப்போமா
மல்லாட்ட கல்லாக்கா
மரத்துல பறிச்சோம் முருங்கக்கா
மடியில இருந்து சொல்லக்கா
முயல புடிப்போமா
Oru kootula rendu kuriviyam
There are two sparrows in a single nest
Nadu kaatula nari koovudhaam
A jackal is howling in the middle of the forest
Adhu pathu payapadudhae verasa
Seeing that, they are terrified quickly
Inga kaathu adikkudhae pudhusa
Here, a new wind is blowing
Kattu kambi vangi vandhu kattum
Bringing binding wire after buying it
Katta porom
We are going to tie and build
Kaththaya kedacha mothama theerum
If we get a whole bundle, all problems will end
Kavala inga illa
There is no worry here
Kastam yedhum illa
There is no hardship at all

Both :Enga tholla theerra enna panna
Both: What should we do to end our troubles?
Sokka paana uppu inga
The salt in the pot here
Therikkudhu therikkudhu
Is popping and crackling
Sothu paana satti rendu
The two cooking pots and vessels
Sedharudhu sedharudhu
Are shattering and scattering
Kathirikka kaachirukka
Brinjals have grown on the plant
Kothu kotha saanjirukka
Leaning heavily in bunches
Kalli chedi paalum
The milk from the cactus plant
Kodangodama pongi
Is overflowing in potfuls
Vazhiyudhu alappomaa
It spills over, shall we measure it?

Metaphor
“Oru kootula rendu kuriviyam / Nadu kaatula nari koovudhaam”
The 'two sparrows in a nest' facing a 'howling jackal' serves as a metaphor for two young siblings facing intimidation and unknown dangers in life.
Alliteration (Monaai)
“Kattu kambi vangi vandhu kattum / Katta porom”
Repetition of the initial consonant sound 'Ka' creates a rhythmic cadence in the line.
Repetition / Reduplication (Adukkuthodar)
“Therikkudhu therikkudhu / Sedharudhu sedharudhu”
Words like 'Chinna chinna', 'Therikkudhu therikkudhu', and 'Sedharudhu sedharudhu' are repeated to emphasize emotional urgency, playfulness, or continuous action.
Rhyme (Edhugai)
“Sokka paana uppu inga / Sothu paana satti rendu”
The second letter harmony across consecutive lines ('Kattu' and 'Katta', 'Sokka' and 'Sothu') adds traditional Tamil poetic flow.
