Sirage illaatha poonguruvi
Ondru vaanaththil thavikkirathu
Thuduppe illaatha padagu
Ondrai ingu aazhgadal pudikkirathu
Udhaya kaalamae iravu aanathae
Yaae seitha paavamadi
Vizhuthu indruthaan verai thindrathae
Yaar thantha saabamadi
Sirage illaatha poonguruvi
Ondru vaanaththil thavikkirathu

A little bird without wings
struggles helplessly in the sky.
A boat without any oars
is trapped here in the deep sea.
The bright morning dawn has turned into night;
whose past sin is this, dear girl?
Today, the hanging roots have consumed the main root;
whose curse has brought this upon you?
A little bird without wings
struggles helplessly in the sky.
A boat without any oars
is trapped here in the deep sea.
In a house that had no doorway,
you drew a welcome pattern (kolam).
In a garden with no flowers,
you searched for a sweet fragrance.
This sorrow, like a curse placed by someone, continues on;
where is the end to this misery?
With the scorching sun burning at midnight,
and a storm raging in your heart,
what else can this be but cruel fate?
The sacred wedding thread (thaali) tied around you had a short life;
your dreams have snapped and fallen apart.
The house you married into lacked any understanding;
let it go, try to forget it, my girl.
A little bird without wings
struggles helplessly in the sky.
A boat without any oars
is trapped here in the deep sea.
Will the path lose its way?
Will the journey end here?
Will grief drown deep inside the heart?
Will loved ones reach out with a helping hand?
Just as the moment arrived
for you to string a wedding garland,
the flowers withered into dry leaves.
Here, a melting candle of wax,
blessed with a glowing flame,
stumbles and falters against the storm.
Are sorrows, quietly blended like milk,
a lifelong fate for womanhood?
Among all the sacred scriptures of humanity,
will any ever make way for the truth?
A little bird without wings
struggles helplessly in the sky.
A boat without any oars
is trapped here in the deep sea.
Whose past sin is this, dear girl?
Today, the hanging roots have consumed the main root;
whose curse has brought this upon you?
A little bird without wings
struggles helplessly in the sky.
A boat without any oars
is trapped here in the deep sea.
