Neththu penja mazhaiyilae
Innaikki mulaicha kaalaan
Ennai paathu oru kelvi kettaalae
Naan valartha sediyilae
Moonu ilai thulirkkala
Ennai paathu oru paattu sonnaalae
Vaazhkkaiyilae kashtam vandhu
Nondhavanukkellaam
Thanjam adhu indha idandaa
Bodhaiyila yeri ninnu
Paarppavanukkellaam
Nyaanam ingu odi varumdaa
Paadaadhavanaiyum paadavaikkum
Aadaadhavanaiyum aada vaikkum
Paadaadhavanaiyum paadavaikkum
Aadaadhavanaiyum aada vaikkum
Aadi aadi adiyum vizhundhaa
Adhu dhaan valikkaadhu
Valichchaalum theriyaadhu
Vaazhkkaiyilae kashtam vandhu
Nondhavanukkellaam
Thanjam adhu indha idandaa
Thaavani potta en thanghachikku
Saelaiyai uduthi vitten
Laavani paadi en thanghathukku
Thangha kaappaiyum pottu vitten
Andha kaiyaalae ennai adichaalum
Yedhum oraikkaadhu adhu valikkaadhu
Oru sollaalae ennai adichaalae
Vadu maaraadhu adhu maraiyaadhu
Paasam nesam vesham vesham
Paadam kidaichaachu
Bandhangal poyaachu
Vaazhkkaiyilae kashtam vandhu
Nondhavanukkellaam
Thanjam adhu indha idandaa
Bodhaiyila yeri ninnu
Paarppavanukkellaam
Nyaanam ingu odi varumdaa
Paadaadhavanaiyum paadavaikkum

Ponaal pogattum podaa endru
Paada naan oru kavignan illai
Ragupathi raagava raajaaraam
Paada naan oru gandhiyum illai
En katchi dhaan andru aatchiyilae
Ippa edhirkatchi naan enga veettinilae
En katchiyil indru yaarumillae

In the rain that fell yesterday,
a mushroom that sprouted only today
looked at me and questioned me!
On the plant that I nurtured,
not even three leaves have sprouted,
yet she looked at me and sang a taunting tune!
When troubles come in life,
for everyone who is hurting,
this place is the refuge, man!
Standing on a drunken high,
for anyone who looks at the world,
wisdom comes running right here, man!
It makes even those who don't sing, sing.
It makes even those who don't dance, dance.
It makes even those who don't sing, sing.
It makes even those who don't dance, dance.
When you stumble and take a hit,
it just doesn't hurt at all,
and even if it hurts, you won't feel it!
When troubles come in life,
for everyone who is hurting,
this place is the refuge, man!
For my little sister who wore a half-sari,
I draped a grown-up sari.
Singing folk songs for my golden sister,
I even put a gold bangle on her wrist.
Even if she struck me with that hand,
it wouldn't bother me, it wouldn't hurt.
But she struck me with a single word,
and that scar will not heal or fade away!
Affection and love are just an act, a disguise!
I have learned my lesson,
all my bonds are broken.
When troubles come in life,
for everyone who is hurting,
this place is the refuge, man!
Standing on a drunken high,
for anyone who looks at the world,
wisdom comes running right here, man!
It makes even those who don't sing, sing.
It makes even those who don't dance, dance.
It makes even those who don't sing, sing.
It makes even those who don't dance, dance.
When you stumble and take a hit,
it just doesn't hurt at all,
and even if it hurts, you won't feel it!
When troubles come in life,
for everyone who is hurting,
this place is the refuge, man! Hey!
Aa aah... aah... aah... aa...
Aa aah... aah... aah... aa...
To sing, "Let it go if it goes, man,"
I am not a poet.
To sing "Raghupati Raghava Raja Ram,"
I am not a Gandhi either.
It was my party that was in power back then,
but now I'm the opposition in my own house!
No one is on my side today,
and on my sister's side,
there is no justice.
The family here has split into rival factions;
let their rule continue,
may they live well!
When troubles come in life,
for everyone who is hurting,
this place is the refuge, man!
Standing on a drunken high,
for anyone who looks at the world,
wisdom comes running right here, man!
It makes even those who don't sing, sing.
It makes even those who don't dance, dance.
Thathunginathom
It makes even those who don't sing, sing.
It makes even those who don't dance, dance.
When you stumble and take a hit,
it just doesn't hurt at all,
and even if it hurts, you won't feel it!
When troubles come in life,
for everyone who is hurting,
this place is the refuge, man!
Standing on a drunken high,
for anyone who looks at the world,
wisdom comes running right here, man!
