It shakes my very soul
Are you my deity?
Whatever was wished for is happening
Is this an auspicious time?
உசுரையே உலுக்குதே
நீ எந்தன் சாமியோ
நெனச்சது நடக்குதே
இது நல்ல நேரமோ
Holding hands,
Whichever direction we walk,
There is a rich, pleasant fragrance
Of wet earth smell
When living for your sake,
Both of us merged into a single life
கைய புடிச்சி
நடக்குற திசை எங்கோ
கம கமனு மணக்குது
மண் வாசம்
உனக்கென வாழும் போது
இருவரும் இணைஞ்சது ஒரு உசுரா
It shakes my very soul
Are you my deity?
Whatever was wished for is happening
Is this an auspicious time?
உசுரையே உலுக்குதே
நீ எந்தன் சாமியோ

To live together as family,
We begged God for a boon
Even if God didn't grant it,
I don't feel like complaining
Senseless social rituals and customs
Didn't bother to help us live happily
I came gathering all my heart's love
I saw you as pure mountain honey
Through all times, you and I
Will stand strong like a mountain inside the forest
உறவாக வாழவே
வரம் கேட்டோம் சாமிய
குடுக்காத சாமிய
குறை சொல்ல தோனல
வாழமட்ட சடங்குமே
வாழ வச்சு பார்க்கல
மனசோட அள்ளி வந்தேன்
மலை தேனா உன்ன கண்டேன்
காலம் தோறும் நீயும் நானும்
காட்டுக்குள்ள மலை போல நெலச்சிருப்போம்
It shakes my very soul
Are you my deity?
Whatever was wished for is happening
Is this an auspicious time?
உசுரையே உலுக்குதே
நீ எந்தன் சாமியோ
நெனச்சதே நடக்குதே
இது நல்ல நேரமோ
As both my mother and father,
I see them within you
Only to live together with you,
I am keeping myself alive
Even a humble hut feels like a palace
This is the triumph of love
The whole forest carries your scent
My entire heart is filled with thoughts of you
Like the wind transcending time,
This bond will travel across the whole world
என் தாயும் தந்தைய
உனக்குள்ள பாக்குறேன்
உன் கூட வாழ தான்
உசுரோட வாழுறேன்
குடுசையும் அரண்மன
இது காதல் சாதன
காடெல்லாம் உன் வாசன
நெஞ்செல்லாம் உன் யோசன
காத்த போல காலம் தாண்டி
உலகத்த வலம்வரும் உறவிதுவே
