வெளுக்காத அடி வானம்

The horizon of the sky that never fades
The white cloud that never darkens
The unborn future
Will join hands as a relationship
என் செல்லமே
என் தங்கமே

உலகம் அன்பவிட்டு சுத்தாது
உறவும் உன்னை விட்டு போகாது
உலகம் அன்புவிட்டு சுத்தாது
உறவும் உன்னை விட்டு போகாது
கடலும் மன்ன விட்டு வத்தாது
அது போல் சொந்தம் இங்க மக்காது
வெளிச்சம் இல்லாம நிழலும் நீளாது
உறவும் இல்லாம எதுவும் வாழாது
The world does not revolve without love
And family will never abandon you
The world does not revolve without love
And family will never abandon you
The ocean never dries up leaving the shore sand
Similarly, family ties here will never decay
Without light, even a shadow cannot stretch
Without relationships, nothing can survive

எட்ட இருக்குது ஆகாயம்
எங்க இருக்குது ஆதாயம்
நெஞ்ச முழுவதும் தீ காயம்
தீராதோ....ஓஒ
The sky remains far out of reach
Where is the gain in all this?
The heart is completely burnt with wounds of fire
Will it never heal?
கண்ட கனவுல பூ கோலம்
கண்கள் எதிருல போர் காலம்
கொண்ட வழிகளும் ஏராளம்
மாறாதோ...ஓ
A floral kolam drawn in dreams
A golden era right before the eyes
The pains borne are numerous
Will it never change?
தீராதோ

அன்னை அவள் ஆரம்பிக்க
தந்தாய் அவன் ஆதரிக்க
சுத்துகிற பூமியில
சொந்தமும் உண்டாச்சி
As the mother initiates it
As the father supports it
On this spinning earth
Relationships were created
துன்பம் வந்தால்
தோள் குடுக்க
இன்பம் என்றால் சேர்ந்தனைக்க
உன்னை அது தேடி வர
செய்வது அன்பாச்சே
If sorrow strikes
To offer a shoulder
If joy arrives, to embrace together
To come seeking you out
It is love that makes it happen
போனது போகட்டும்
ஆனது ஆகட்டும்
காயங்கள் மாறிடும் தன்னால
ஆயிரம் சொந்தங்கள்
ஆயிரம் பந்தங்கள்
உன்னையும் தாங்குது மண்மேல
Let what is gone be gone
Let whatever happens happen
Wounds will heal on their own
A thousand relatives
A thousand bonds
Are supporting you on this earth
