Love everyone without picking fights,
In a manner that the town talks about and praises,
Long live, my dear eyes!
உலகை மதித்து உறவை அணைத்து
உலகை மதித்து உறவை அணைத்து

Respecting the world and embracing relationships,
Grow prosperously, my golden deer!

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
'Yaenintha Kobam Yaenintha Vegam' is a tender, paternal song from the 1973 movie Deiva Kuzhanthaikal, where a loving father soothes his upset children. He gently admonishes their anger and haste, encouraging them to fill their eyes with joyful smiles instead. Calling them his precious treasures, his eyes, and his golden deer, he reminds them of how much happiness their innocent joy brings to his life.
