கசிந்திடும் கண்ணீரை
திரும்பிடச்செய் அய்யா
வறண்டிடும் நெஞ்சத்தில்
மழையெனப் பெய் அய்யா
The trickling tears,
Make them turn back, my Lord!
Upon the dried-up hearts,
Pour down like rain, my Lord!
ஆழ் மனதினில்
சூளும் இருளை நீளும்
துயரை பாளும் விதியை
நீக்கும் தீயே நீ அய்யா
Deep within the mind,
The surrounding darkness,
The lingering sorrow,
The destructive fate,
O fire that removes them all,
It is you, my Lord!

நீ வீற்றிடும் தோரனையாலே
பாறைகளும் அாியாசனமாய்
உன் பேரை தம்மில் தாமே
செதுக்கிடும் கல்வெட்டைய்
By the grand majesty with which you reside,
Even rocks turn into royal thrones!
They etch your name upon themselves,
Like rock inscriptions!
காற்றோடு உன் குரல் கேட்டால்
பொட்டல் காடும் அரசவையாய்
உன் வோ்வை ஒரு துளி பட்டால்
ஒளிருது நெல் பட்டாய்
If your voice is heard along with the wind,
Even open barren lands turn into royal courts!
If a single drop of your sweat touches,
It shines brightly like a golden paddy field!
உன் சொல்லே சட்டம் அய்யா
உன் பாா்வை சாசனம் அய்யா
என் சிந்தை நீயே எந்தை நீயே
சேயும் நீயே எங்கள் ஆயுள்
நீ கொள் அய்யா
Your word is the law, my Lord!
Your gaze is an edict, my Lord!
You are my thought..
You are my father..
You are my child..
Take our remaining lifespan as your own, my Lord...

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Vandhai Ayyaa is an emotional anthem of deep devotion and reverence sung by the people of Mahishmati to Amarendra Baahubali. As he leaves the royal palace to live among the common folk, the citizens plead with him not to set like the sun, expressing that his presence alone brings hope, relief, and joy to their dry, suffering hearts. The song emphasizes the divine stature Baahubali holds in the eyes of his people, who view his words as supreme law and his presence as powerful enough to turn barren rocks into royal thrones and simple fields into prosperous kingdom grounds.
