துயர் சூழ்ந்த வாழ்வில்
அமைதியே நேர்ந்தது தீராத சோகமே
நடமாடும் பிணமானேன் வாழ்விலே நான்.....
In a life surrounded by sorrow,
Silence itself has turned into endless grief.
I have become a walking corpse in this life of mine.
துயர் சூழ்ந்த எந்தன் வாழ்வினிலே
சுகமினியேது
பழி சேர்ந்ததனாலே மன அமைதி இல்லாத
வேல் பாய்ந்த உள்ளம் வேதனையால் வாடுவதாலே
நான் வாடி அழும் சோகனிலை காண்பவர் ஏது
In my life surrounded by sorrow,
Where is happiness anymore?
Lacking peace of mind due to accumulated blame,
As my heart, pierced like by a spear, bleeds with pain,
Who is there to see my sad state as I wilt and weep?
துயர் சூழ்ந்த எந்தன் வாழ்வினிலே
சுகமினியேது
In my life surrounded by sorrow,
Where is happiness anymore?
தீதறியா வாழ்வில் என்றும் வேதனைதானா
மன வேதனைதானா வேதனைதானா
மகா பாவியும் நானா உலகில் பாவியும் நானா
சொல்வீர் பாவியும் நானா.......
Is life, which knows no evil, destined only for agony?
Is it only agony of the mind, only agony?
Am I a great sinner, am I the sinner of this world?
Tell me, am I a sinner?
துயர் சூழ்ந்த எந்தன் வாழ்வினிலே
சுகமினியேது
பழி சேர்ந்ததனாலே மன அமைதி இல்லாத
வேல் பாய்ந்த உள்ளம் வேதனையால் வாடுவதாலே
நான் வாடி அழும் சோகனிலை காண்பவர் ஏது
In my life surrounded by sorrow,
Where is happiness anymore?
Lacking peace of mind due to accumulated blame,
As my heart, pierced like by a spear, bleeds with pain,
Who is there to see my sad state as I wilt and weep?
Thuyar soozhndha vaazhvil
In a life surrounded by sorrow,
Amaidhiyae nerndhadhu theeradha sogamae
Silence itself has turned into endless grief.
Nadamaadum pinam aanen vaazhvilae naan
I have become a walking corpse in this life of mine.
Thuyar soozhndha endhan vaazhvinilae
In my life surrounded by sorrow,
Sugam iniyaedhu
Where is happiness anymore?
Pazhi serndhadhanaalae mana amaidhi illadha
Lacking peace of mind due to accumulated blame,
Vel paaindha ullam vaedhanaiyaal vaduvadhaalae
As my heart, pierced like by a spear, bleeds with pain,
Naan vaadi azhum soga nilai kaanbavar yaedhu
Who is there to see my sad state as I wilt and weep?
Thuyar soozhndha endhan vaazhvinilae
In my life surrounded by sorrow,
Sugam iniyaedhu
Where is happiness anymore?
Theedhariya vaazhvil endrum vaedhanai thaano
Is life, which knows no evil, destined only for agony?
Mana vaedhanai thaanoo vaedhanai thaanoo
Is it only agony of the mind, only agony?
Maha paaviyum naana ulagil paaviyum naana
Am I a great sinner, am I the sinner of this world?
Solveer paaviyum naana
Tell me, am I a sinner?
Thuyar soozhndha endhan vaazhvinilae
In my life surrounded by sorrow,
Sugam iniyaedhu
Where is happiness anymore?
Pazhi serndhadhanaalae mana amaidhi illadha
Lacking peace of mind due to accumulated blame,
Vel paaindha ullam vaedhanaiyaal vaduvadhaalae
As my heart, pierced like by a spear, bleeds with pain,
Naan vaadi azhum soga nilai kaanbavar yaedhu
Who is there to see my sad state as I wilt and weep?
