சாமி குலசாமி எல்லாம் செரி சாமி
உன்னை ஒன்னு கேட்டா தப்பா தப்பா
வேற யாரும் துணை இல்லை கூட வரவில்லை
எல்லாம் எனக்கு இங்க நீதானப்பா
God, my ancestral God, everything is fine, God.
Is it wrong if I ask you just one question?
There is no one else to support me, no one comes along.
For me here, you are everything, my God.

Yesterday has blown away with the wind,
And a new day is born like a gentle breeze.
Days passed thinking that everything was just fate,
Yet, believing that something good would happen,
The heart held on to hope.
உன்னை தாண்டி ஏதோ ஒன்னு உண்டு
உன் கூடவே வந்து கரை சேர்க்கும்மப்பா
There is something greater beyond yourself,
Which will travel with you and guide you safely to the shore, O God.
