மங்கை என்பவள்
ஒரு நதியை போன்றவள்
கடலைத் தேடியே அவள் பயணமாகிறாள்
பந்தம் என்பது புது உறவு காணுது
சொந்தம் என்பது நல்வரவு ஆகுது
She who is called a woman,
Is like a flowing river,
She journeys in search of the ocean.
A bond finds a new relationship,
Kinship becomes a welcoming blessing.
{சொந்த பந்தம் வானவில்லை
மாலையாக்குமே
சொர்க்கமே அங்குதான் உதயமாகுமே.....} (2)
The bond of family turns a rainbow
Into a beautiful garland,
And heaven itself dawns right there.

வெந்த போதிலும் அது வெண்மையானது
Relationships that arrive in human life,
Continue to live even after fading away.
Affection is like a pure conch shell,
Even when burned, it remains pure white.
{அன்பினாலே மலையைக் கூட
அசைத்து காட்டலாம்
பண்பினால் கடலுமே அடிமையாகலாம்.....} (2)

Can be made to move,
With noble character, even the ocean can become a subject.
