ஏன்டியம்மா கோபமென்ன

நிலவு கூட அழுக்குத்தான்

நானும் கூட தவறு செஞ்ச மனுஷன்தான்
அதுக்கா இந்த வெறுப்பு அடி
நானா சொல்லு பொறுப்பு
உன்ன உசுரா இங்கு நெனப்பேன்
ஒரு நிழலா வந்து அணைப்பேன்..
Even the moon has spots and dirt on it.
That is a truth well known to the world.
I am also just a human who made a mistake.
Is this hatred just for that reason, girl?
Tell me, am I solely to blame?
I will cherish you as my very life here.
I will come like a shadow and embrace you.

திருந்தி வாழ நெனைக்கிறேன்
திரும்பி வந்து அழைக்கிறேன்
போனதெல்லாம் போகட்டும் வா துடிக்கிறேன்
தெரிஞ்சா என்ன வெறுப்பே
இது புரிஞ்சா வர மறுப்பே
நான் கொடுத்தேன் நல்ல விளக்கம்
இளம் கிளியே என்ன மயக்கம்....
I wish to reform and live properly.
I am coming back and calling out to you.
Let bygones be bygones, come, my heart throbs for you.
If you know this, why still hate me?
If you understand this, why refuse to come?
I have given a clear explanation.

He acknowledges his errors, asks for forgiveness, and expresses his desire to reform and start anew. Throughout the song, he reassures her of his deep love, promising to cherish her as his life and protect her like a shadow. He asks her to leave past grievances behind and reunite with him.
