Unnaithaan kumbitten
Unnaiye nambitten
Unnaithaan kumbitten
Unnaiye nambitten
Naan sonnaa nee konjam kelu
Ennai pol unnaithaan
Romba per nambithaan
Ennai pol unnaithaan
Romba per nambithaan
Vaazhgindraar inge thaan paaru
Ennaiye nambi irunthaalenna
Evarukkum naan oru yeni
En mel yeri uthaithal kooda
Enakkenna naan oru gnaani
Enakkaa vaazhgiren naan
Pirarikke vaazhgiren
Enakkaa vaazhgiren naan
Pirarikke vaazhgiren
Unnai thaan kumbittene
Unnaiye nambitten
Naan yaaru nee sollu saami
Thumbikkai appane
Sanmugan annane
Nee sonnaa ketkaathu boomi
Unnai pola theivam kooda
Irukkathu anbodu
Unnai vittu naanum sendraal
Sirikkaathu nam veedu
Unnai pola theivam kooda
Irukkathu anbodu
Unnai vittu naanum sendraal
Sirikkaathu nam veedu
Unakke theriyum enakkintha naade veedu
Uravenbathoo naalum uzhaikindra kaithaan
Enge irunthaalum enakkenna thondanthaane
Oor vaazhave paadum poonthendral naane
Unnaithaan kumbitten
Unnaiye nambitten
Naan sonnaa nee konjam kelu
Ennai pol unnaithaan
Romba per nambithaan
Vaazhgindraar inge thaan paaru
Thavikkindra nenjaiyellaam
Karai yetrum oadam nee
Thiyagathin yettil ellaam
Pugazh koottum paadam nee
Pathavi perumai itharkaaga vaazhnthenillai
Pani seiyyave ennai padaithaale annai
Ethaiyum sumakkum manam ondru thevan thanthaan
Atharkaagave ennai vaazhgendru sonnaal
Unnaithaan kumbitten
Unnaiye nambitten
Naan yaaru nee sollu saami
Thumbikkai appane sanmugan annane
Nee sonnaal ketkkathu boomi
I prayed only to you,
I trusted only in you.
I prayed only to you,
I trusted only in you.
Please listen a little to what I say.
Just like me, in you,
putting all their faith,
Just like me, in you,
putting all their faith,
look how many people live their lives here!
What if people depend entirely on me?
I am a ladder for everyone.
Even if they climb over me and kick me,
what does it matter to me? I am a wise soul at peace.
Do I live for myself?
I live only for others!
Do I live for myself?
I live only for others!
I prayed only to you,
I trusted only in you.
Tell me, Lord, who am I really?
O Lord with the elephant trunk (Ganesha),
O elder brother of Shanmukha (Muruga),
won't the world listen if you speak?
Even a god would not have
as much loving kindness as you do.
If I were to leave your side,
our home would never smile again.
Even a god would not have
as much loving kindness as you do.
If I were to leave your side,
our home would never smile again.
You already know this whole land is my home.
My true family are the hands that toil every day.
Wherever I am, isn't selfless service my only purpose?
I am the gentle breeze singing so the world may prosper.
I prayed only to you,
I trusted only in you.
Please listen a little to what I say.
Just like me, in you,
putting all their faith,
look how many people live their lives here!
For every struggling, suffering heart,
you are the boat that ferries them ashore.
In every chapter in the book of sacrifice,
you are the lesson that brings glory.
I have never lived for position or praise.
My mother brought me into this world only to serve.
God gave me a heart strong enough to bear anything,
and with that purpose, my mother blessed me to live.
I prayed only to you,
I trusted only in you.
Tell me, Lord, who am I really?
O Lord with the elephant trunk, elder brother of Shanmukha,
won't the world listen if you speak?
