வாழ்வில்தானே மனம் போல் யாவும்
அடைவேனோ நானுமே
அன்றி வாடிடும் மலராகவே
வீணே ஆவேனோ உலகினிலே..
In life itself, according to my heart's desire,
Will I too attain everything?
Or like a wilting flower,
Will I become wasted in this world?
ஹா வாழ்வில்தானே
வாழ்வில்தானே யாவும் மனம் போல்
ஆகி சுகமே காண்பேனோ
அன்றி நானே யாவும் இழந்து
சீரழிந்து போவேனோ
வீணே அழிந்தே போவேனோ..
என் வாழ்வில்தானே..
Ah, in life itself...
In life, will everything happen as my heart wishes,
And will I experience true happiness?
Or will I lose everything,
And become completely ruined?
In my life itself...
மாசு உடையது ஆகுமே
வான்மீதே காணும் மாமதி
மாசு உடையது ஆகுமே
வான்மீதே காணும் மாமதி
யாரும் அதனால் தீதென்றே
இழிவாக அதையே பேசிடார்
யாரும் அதனால் தீதென்றே
இழிவாக அதையே பேசிடார்
It possesses blemishes,
The great moon seen high in the sky.
It possesses blemishes,
The great moon seen high in the sky.
Yet nobody considers it evil because of that,
Nor do they speak ill of it.
Yet nobody considers it evil because of that,
Nor do they speak ill of it.
நானுமே அது போல்
மாசுதான் உடையாள் என்றாலும்
நானே சுகமே காண்பேனோ
அன்றி வாழ்வில் யாவும் இழந்து
சீரழிந்து போவேனோ
வீணே அழிந்தே போவேனோ..
என் வாழ்வில்தானே..........
Just like that moon,
Even if I too possess blemishes,
Will I attain happiness?
Or will I lose everything in life,
And become completely ruined?
Will I perish in vain?

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song from Digambara Samiyar (1950) expresses a woman's deep anxiety and philosophical questioning regarding her fate. She ponders whether she will attain joy and fulfillment according to her heart's desires, or end up withered and destroyed like an abandoned flower. To console herself, she reflects on the moon in the sky, pointing out that even though the full moon has visible spots and blemishes, society does not despise or speak ill of it. Drawing this parallel, she questions whether she too will be accepted and granted happiness despite her flaws or whether her life will crumble into loss and disgrace.
