ஆகாயம் எந்நாளும்
தீர்ந்து போகாது
அன்பு நிறைந்த அங்கிள் உன்னை
உள்ளம் மறவாது
ஊமை நாங்கள் பாடும் பாடல்
காதில் விழவில்லையா
உண்மையில் நாங்கள் சிந்திய கண்ணீர்
உங்களை சுடவில்லையா
கொடியோடு பகை என்றால்
மலரோடு கோபம் ஏன்
பிரிந்த கரங்கள் இணைந்து தழுவி கொள்ளும்
The sky, forever
Will never come to an end
O loving uncle, you
Our heart will never forget
Does the song sung by us, who are mute,
Not fall upon your ears?
Did the tears shed by us in truth
Not burn your heart with emotion?
Even if there is enmity with the creeper,
Why show anger towards the flower?
Will the separated hands join and embrace again?

Honey... Has a bond sweet like honey
Sky... Has prosperity vast like the sky
நீ விண்வெளியில் வட்டமிட்டு
வெண்ணிலவில் பட்டம்விடும் மலரே
உங்களுடன் நானிருப்பேன்
Circling around in outer space,
O flower flying a kite on the white moon!
I will always stay with you

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from Raja Chinna Roja captures the pure, innocent love and emotional plea of children towards an elder figure ('uncle'). Using vivid imagery of nature—flowers, milk, honey, and the boundless sky—the children extol his gentle nature and sweet affection. They express anguish over misunderstandings, asking why anger meant for adults (the creeper) should fall upon innocent children (the flower), and plead for reconciliation and togetherness.
