சந்தேக புயலடிச்சா
சந்தோஷ பூ உதிரும்
விதியோட விளையாட்டம்மா
விதியோட விளையாட்டம்மா....
If the storm of suspicion blows,
The flower of happiness will shed its petals.
It is fate's game, my dear.
It is fate's game, my dear.
சந்தேக புயலடிச்சா
அதில் சந்தோஷ பூ உதிரும்
சந்தேக புயலடிச்சா
அதில் சந்தோஷ பூ உதிரும்
If the storm of suspicion blows,
In that, the flower of happiness sheds.
If the storm of suspicion blows,
In that, the flower of happiness sheds.
ஆவதுதான் பெண்ணால என்று சொன்னாங்க
அழிவதுதான் பெண்ணால என்று சொன்னாங்க
வாழ்க்கை என்னும் கண்ணாடிய இறைவன் கொடுக்கிறான்
மதி கெட்ட மனிதன் ஏனோ போட்டு உடைக்கிறான்
வாழ்க்கை கண்ணாடி அதை உடைப்பதென்னாடி
வாழ்க்கை கண்ணாடி அதை உடைப்பதென்னாடி
They said prosperity comes because of a woman,
They also said destruction comes because of a woman.
God gives us the mirror called life,
Why does foolish man shatter it to pieces?
Why break the mirror of life?
Why break the mirror of life?
சந்தேக புயலடிச்சா
அதில் சந்தோஷ பூ உதிரும்
சந்தேக புயலடிச்சா

In that, the flower of happiness sheds.
If the storm of suspicion blows,
In that, the flower of happiness sheds.
கண்ணிருந்தும் குருடனைப் போல
நடப்பதேனம்மா.....
குழு :
ஓ.......ஓ......ஆ....ஆஅ....ஆ....
பசும்பால பாழும் கள்ளா
நினைப்பதேனம்மா
குழு :
ஓ.......ஓ......ஆ....ஆஅ....ஆ....
Why walk like a blind person,
Even when you have eyes?
(Chorus humming)
Why mistake pure cow's milk,
For poisonous liquor?
(Chorus humming)
சந்தேக நோய் வந்தா
உறவ வாட்டுமே
குழு :
ஆ....ஆஅ....ஆ....
சொந்தங்கள பந்தங்கள
பிரிய சொல்லுமே....
குழு :
ஆ....ஆஅ....ஆ....
If the disease of suspicion enters,
It torments relationships.
(Chorus humming)
It forces relatives and loved ones,
To drift apart.
(Chorus humming)
இரு மலர்கள் போல இரு பிள்ளை இருக்க
அதை கூட பிரிக்க சபை ஒன்று நடக்க
ஆண் பிள்ளை ஒரு பக்கம்
பெண் பிள்ளை மறு பக்கம்
எனச்சொல்லும் ஊர் சட்டம்
விதி தீட்டும் சதி திட்டம்
While two children stand like twin flowers,
A court convenes even to separate them.
A male child on one side,
A female child on the other side,
So dictates the law of society,
A treacherous conspiracy crafted by fate.
வாழ்க்கை கண்ணாடி அதை உடைத்ததென்னாடி
வாழ்க்கை கண்ணாடி அதை உடைத்ததென்னாடி
Why did you shatter the mirror of life?
Why did you shatter the mirror of life?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from Samsara Sangeetham (1989) is a deep philosophical lament on how unfounded doubt and suspicion destroy family harmony. Composed and written by T. Rajendar, the lyrics portray life as a delicate glass mirror gifted by God, which foolish individuals shatter due to groundless mistrust. The track vividly describes how suspicion blinds a person to truth, turning sweet love into bitterness and tearing apart innocent children caught in marital disputes.
