Thaangaliyae aathaa un sollu thaan
Thaangikkitten ippo naan kallu thaan
Veesipputtae em melae ambu thaan
Vaangikkitten vaerenna anbu thaan
Saami mela aanaiyaaga
Ennaachu ennaachu solluven naan
Sonna podhum namba maattae
Sollaama ullaara melluren naan
Thaangaliyae aathaa un sollu thaan
Thaangikkitten ippo naan kallu thaan
Thaangaliyae aathaa un sollu thaan
Otha maattu vandi katti
Otti paakka aasai konden
Sondha maattai vittu vittu
Vandha maattae yaetru konden
Oor vittu oor vandha potta pulla
Oyaama senjaalae anbu tholla
Vaer vittu neer vittu vecha kaadhal
Pookkaama kaaikkaama vaadi pochae
Aagaadha veettilae aanaenae maappillai
Aagaadha veettilae aanaenae maappillai
Ellaamae vidhi padi nadakkudhadaa
Thaangaliyae aathaa un sollu thaan
Thaangikkitten ippo naan kallu thaan
Veesipputtae em melae ambu thaan
Vaangikkitten vaerenna anbu thaan
Saami mela aanaiyaaga
Ennaachu ennaachu solluven naan
Sonna podhum namba maattae
Sollaama ullaara melluren naan
Thaangaliyae aathaa un sollu thaan
Thaangikkitten ippo naan kallu thaan
Thaangaliyae aathaa un sollu thaan
Thanga kaasu seppaanadhu
Vaira kallu uppaanadhu
Nalla ullam senjadhellaam
Naalu paerkku thappaanadhu
Mul melae vaazhai thaan patta podhum
Vaazhai mel mul vandhu thotta podhum
Eppodhum vaazhai thaan kaayamaagum
Endraalum idhu enna nyaayamaagum
En aathaa ariyumaa en paavam puriyumaa
En aathaa ariyumaa en paavam puriyumaa
Ellaamae vidhi padi nadakkudhadaa
Thaangaliyae aathaa un sollu thaan
Thaangikkitten ippo naan kallu thaan
Veesipputtae em melae ambu thaan
Vaangikkitten vaerenna anbu thaan
Saami mela aanaiyaaga

Sonna podhum namba maattae
Sollaama ullaara melluren naan
Thaangaliyae aathaa un sollu thaan
Thaangikkitten ippo naan kallu thaan
Veesipputtae em melae ambu thaan
Vaangikkitten vaerenna anbu thaan
Mother, I could not bear the harsh words you spoke.
Yet I endured it, for my heart has turned to stone now.
You aimed an arrow straight at me and shot it.
I took the blow; what else could I do out of love?
I swear upon God!
How can I tell you what has happened to me?
Even if I tell you, you will not believe me,
So without saying a word, I swallow my grief inside.
Mother, I could not bear the harsh words you spoke.
Yet I endured it, for my heart has turned to stone now.
Mother, I could not bear the harsh words you spoke.
Hitching a single bullock to a cart,
I longed to drive it and see.
Leaving my own bullock behind,
I accepted the one that came along.
The young girl who arrived from another town
Troubled me relentlessly with her affection.
The love we nurtured with deep roots and water
Has withered away without blooming or bearing fruit.
I ended up a son-in-law in an ill-fated house.
I ended up a son-in-law in an ill-fated house.
Everything happens only as fate decides!
Mother, I could not bear the harsh words you spoke.
Yet I endured it, for my heart has turned to stone now.
You aimed an arrow straight at me and shot it.
I took the blow; what else could I do out of love?
I swear upon God!
How can I tell you what has happened to me?
Even if I tell you, you will not believe me,
So without saying a word, I swallow my grief inside.
Mother, I could not bear the harsh words you spoke.
Yet I endured it, for my heart has turned to stone now.
Mother, I could not bear the harsh words you spoke.
A gold coin has turned into mere copper,
A diamond has become as cheap as salt.
Everything done with a pure heart
Has seemed wrong in the eyes of the world.
Whether the plantain leaf falls upon a thorn,
Or the thorn falls upon the plantain leaf,
It is always the leaf that gets torn and hurt.
Even so, what kind of justice is this?
Will my mother ever know? Will she understand my suffering?
Will my mother ever know? Will she understand my suffering?
Everything happens only as fate decides!
Mother, I could not bear the harsh words you spoke.
Yet I endured it, for my heart has turned to stone now.
You aimed an arrow straight at me and shot it.
I took the blow; what else could I do out of love?
I swear upon God!
How can I tell you what has happened to me?
Even if I tell you, you will not believe me,
So without saying a word, I swallow my grief inside.
Mother, I could not bear the harsh words you spoke.
Yet I endured it, for my heart has turned to stone now.
You aimed an arrow straight at me and shot it.
I took the blow; what else could I do out of love?
