சிவாஜி கணேசன் வசனம் :
என் தங்கைதான் என் உயிரு
என் உலகமே அதுதான்
அது சிரிச்சாதான் நானும் சிரிப்பேன்
அது அழுதா அய்யய்யோ
என்னால தாங்கவே முடியாது
நான் கண்ண தொறந்திருக்கும் போதெல்லாம்
அது என் முன்னாலே நிக்கணும்
கண்ண மூடி இருந்தேன்னா
என் கனவுலகூட கலகலன்னு
சிரிச்சு விளையாடனும்
Come, come, my dear brother
Seeing him will dissolve all worries
Having just one brother is enough
That itself is a unique power
வா வா டியர்ரு பிரதர்ரு
பார்த்தா செதறும் சுகரு
அண்ணன் ஒருத்தன் இருந்தாலே போதும்
அதுவே தனி பவர்ரு
Our elder brother, our elder brother
He is the king of showering love generously
In golden affection, no one in town
Can ever beat or match him
எங்க அண்ணன் எங்க அண்ணன்
அன்ப அள்ளி தெளிக்கிறதில் மன்னன்
தங்கை பாசத்தில் அவனைத்தான்
அடிச்சிக்க ஊருல ஆளே கிடையாதே
Our elder brother, our elder brother
He is the king of showering love generously
In golden affection, no one in town
Can ever beat or match him
எங்க அண்ணன் எங்க அண்ணன்
அன்ப அள்ளி தெளிக்கிறதில் மன்னன்
தங்கை பாசத்தில் அவனைத்தான்
அடிச்சிக்க ஊருல ஆளே கிடையாதே
The leader of my house
The beauty of this whole district
A loving waterfall in which
Her elder brother gets drenched daily
என் வீட்டு தலைவி
இந்த ஜில்லாவோட அழகி
அண்ணன்காரன் அன்றாடம் நனையும்
அன்பான அருவி
My sister, my golden sister
A good sister with a pure heart
In love for her brother
There is no one who can match her here
என் தங்கை மை தங்கை
வெள்ளை மனசு கொண்ட நல்ல தங்கை
அண்ணன் பாசத்தில் அவளைத்தான்
அடிச்சுக்க யாருமே இல்லையே இங்க
For all my early days love affairs
She would be a supportive helper like a squirrel
When I played cricket and asked for a wicket
She would immediately take it for me
என் ஆரம்ப காலத்து லவ்க்கெல்லாம்
அணிலா இருப்பா
நான் கிரிக்கெட்டு ஆடயில் விக்கெட்டு கேட்டா
உடனே எடுப்பா
Him being so lively and cheerful
And his colorful, bright smile
Just seeing that is enough
கலகலன்னு அவன் இருப்பதும்
கலர் கலரா அவன் சிரிப்பதும்
பாத்தாலே போதும்
Our elder brother, our elder brother
He is the king of showering love generously
In golden affection, no one in town
Can ever beat or match him
எங்க அண்ணன் எங்க அண்ணன்
அன்ப அள்ளி தெளிக்கிறதில் மன்னன்
தங்கை பாசத்தில் அவனைத்தான்
அடிச்சிக்க ஊருல ஆளே கிடையாதே

She is my whole world (Dialogue)
என் தங்கைதான் என் உயிரு
என் உலகமே அதுதான்
என் தங்கைதான் என் உயிரு
என் உலகமே அதுதான் (வசனம்)
More than you, my brothers
Are what matter most to me
More than the life you gave me
The love of my elder brothers
Is what is most important to me (Dialogue)
உன்ன விட எங்க அண்ணனுங்கதான்
எனக்கு முக்கியம்
நீ எனக்கு கொடுத்த வாழ்க்கைய விட
என் அண்ணன்னுகளோட பாசம்தான்டா
எனக்கு முக்கியம் (வசனம்)
Even in the next birth
I will be your elder brother
Let us make an agreement on that
அடுத்த ஜென்மம்கூட
அண்ணன் உனக்கு நான்தான்
அக்ரீமெண்ட போட்டு வச்சுக்கலாம்
Brother in this birth
Father in the next birth
Let us alternate roles
And live together
இந்த ஜென்மம் அண்ணன்
அடுத்த ஜென்மம் அப்பன்
மாத்தி மாத்தி பொறந்து
வாழ்ந்துக்கலாம்
Where did all relations and affection go?
They disappeared like a dream
Female: Look at this as Paasamalar Part 2
Just watch it right here
சொந்த பந்தம் பாசம் எல்லாம்
காணா போச்சு எங்கே
பாசமலர் பார்ட் 2-வத்தான்
பாத்துகோங்க இங்க
If the sister born alongside desires it
Buy and give her even the earth
Hearing her loud laughter
Nothing else is needed, that is enough
Even if God comes and asks
I will not give you away
கூட பொறந்தவ ஆசைபட்டா
பூமியகூட வாங்கித்தாடா
வாய் விட்டு சிரிக்கிற சத்தம் கேட்டா
வேறொன்னும் வேணா போதும் போடா
கடவுள் வந்து கேட்டாக்கூட
உன்ன தரமாட்டேன்
Our elder brother, our elder brother

In golden affection, no one in town
