Peththu eduthavadhaan
Ennaiyum thaththu koduthupputtaa
Peththa kadanukkudhaan
Ennai vithu vattiyai kattipputtaa
Peththu eduthavadhaan
Ennaiyum thaththu koduthupputtaa
Peththa kadanukkudhaan
Ennai vithu vattiyai kattipputtaa
Pillaiyin manasu pithaachu
Inga peththava manasu kallaachu
Innoru manasu ennaachu
Adhu murinjupona villaachu
Peththu eduthavadhaan
Ennaiyum thaththu koduthupputtaa
Thaththu koduthupputtaa
Vaiyuthulla valatha pulla
Vandhu nikka vaasalillai
Madiyila valanthathukku
Ingirukka aasaiyillai
Maganaa poranthadhukku
Thottanaikka thaayumillai
Maganaa valarndha pulla
Thulluradhu nyaayamillai
Thottilil naam kidanthaa
Sogam vandhu servathillai
Thozhilae vaazhum varai
Thunbaminnu onnumillai
Kattila paartha pinnae
Kaanbathellaam yengu solla
Kannula aarirukku
Povathukku thoni illai
Sattai kizhinjirundhaa…
Thaichchi mudichiralaam
Nenju kizhinjiruchae…

Kaaveri gangai aarugal pola
Kangalum ingae neeraada
Peththu eduthavadhaan
Ennaiyum thaththu koduthupputtaa
Peththa kadanukkudhaan
Ennai vithu vattiyai kattipputtaa
Thalaiyil vakidu edutha
Thanga viral paarthenae
Thalaiyila ezhuthi vaicha
Andha viral paarthenaa
Kiliya valarththeduthaa

The woman who gave birth to me
Has given me up for adoption
Just to pay off the debts of birthing me
She sold me to clear the interest
The woman who gave birth to me
Has given me up for adoption
Just to pay off the debts of birthing me
She sold me to clear the interest
The child's mind has gone mad
Here, the mother's heart has turned to stone
What became of that other heart?
It turned into a broken bow
The woman who gave birth to me
Has given me up for adoption
Given me up for adoption
The child nurtured in the womb
Has no doorway left to stand before
For having been raised in her lap
There is no desire left to linger here
For having been born as her son
There is no mother left to hold me close
The child raised as a son
Has no right to leap in joy
When we lay in the cradle
Sorrow could never reach us
As long as we live by hard work
There is no such thing as suffering
After beholding a bed of luxury
Where can I even express all that I witness?
A river flows in my eyes
Yet there is no boat to cross it
If a shirt gets torn...
It can be stitched back up
But my heart has torn apart...
Where can I go to plead my pain?
Like the Kaveri and Ganges rivers
My eyes bathe in tears here
The woman who gave birth to me
Has given me up for adoption
Just to pay off the debts of birthing me
She sold me to clear the interest
Parting the hair on my head
I saw those golden fingers
Did I see those same fingers
Writing out my fate?
If you raise a parrot
It will not ask questions
If you raise a tiger
It will not recognize love
Without words to speak
A mother's heart aches over there
Without even a mouth to speak
A heart wilts over here
Hurl a spear made of words
Is what the child does over there
If silence is allowed to speak
Everything here will change
There are two parrots
One of them is left alone
For that mother parrot
What companion is left?
In this town or in this land
Show me anyone like my mother
The woman who gave birth to me
Has given me up for adoption
Just to pay off the debts of birthing me
She sold me to clear the interest
The child's mind has gone mad
Here, the mother's heart has turned to stone
What became of that other heart?
It turned into a broken bow
The woman who gave birth to me
Has given me up for adoption
Just to pay off the debts of birthing me
She sold me to clear the interest
