ஏனோ……
ஒரு வீடு வாசல் தேடி
கால்கள் தினம் அலையுதே
Why... searching for a home and threshold
Feet wander every day
Why... in the faces we see
The shadows of a web of deceit are visible
ஏன் ஏ…னோ…
நாம் காணும் முகத்தில்
சூழ்ச்சி வலையின் நிழல் தெரியுதே

Claiming as their own
Have they ever put up private fences...?
இது என்ன சூது நகரமா

பணம் தேடும் கோர நகரமா
இடுகாட்டில் கூட
இடங்களில்லா நரகமா……
Why does the six-sensed human
Wander and suffer in turmoil?
Thinking that everything belongs to him
He lives in this world
Ultimately, upon dying
He turns into ashes without even a spot in the burial ground
பறவைக்கும் எறும்புக்கும் கூட
வீடு உண்டு
அது வாடகை தந்ததுண்டா…
Why... searching for a home and threshold
Feet wander every day
Why... in the faces we see
The shadows of a web of deceit are visible
அது பார்க்கும் இடங்களெல்லாம்
தனக்கு என்று
தனி வேலிகள் போட்டதுண்டா…
Why... searching for a home and threshold
Feet wander every day
Why... in the faces we see
The shadows of a web of deceit are visible
ஆறறிவு மனிதன் ஏன்
அலைகிறான் தவிக்கிறான்
அத்தனையும் தனக்கென்றே
உலகிலே நினைக்கிறான்
Is this a city of gambling?
Is it a cruel city chasing money?
Is this a city of gambling?
Is it a cruel city chasing money?
Is it a hell with no place even in the burial ground...?
இறுதியில் இறந்து போகையில்
இடுகாட்டில் இடம் இல்லாமல்
சாம்பலாகிறான்

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This song poignantly reflects the existential and material struggles of middle-class urban dwellers who tirelessly search for shelter and stability in a ruthless city. The lyrics critique modern materialism and urban greed, highlighting how humans—despite being endowed with superior intellect—suffer far more than simple creatures like birds and ants who live freely without paying rent or claiming ownership of land. Ultimately, the song serves as a philosophical reminder of human mortality, noting that despite all the greed and property accumulation during life, man leaves with nothing, sometimes lacking even a small plot in the burial ground for his final rites.
