Aadiya aattmenna
By
Kannadasan
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
1.Aadiya aatamenna?
Pesiya varthai yenna?
Thediya chelvamenna?
1.What all you have played?
What all you have
talked?
What wealth you have
earned?
2,Thirandathor chuttham yenna?
Koodu vittu aavi ponal,
Koodave varuvathenna?
2,What of the relations that assembled?
When the soul leaves
the cage ,
What all will come
along with you?
3,Veedu varai Uravu,
Veethi varai manaivi
Kadu varai pillai,
Kadaisi varai yaro?
Relations up to the home,
Wife up to the
street,
Son up to cremation ground,
Who will come till
the end?
4.AAdum varai aatam,
Aayirathil naatam ,
Koodi varum kootam ,
Kolli varai varuma?
4.Play till you can,
With desires to thousands ,
The crowd would assemble ,
Would it come till
the fire wood?
5.Thottilukku anni,
Kattilukku kanni ,
Pattinikku theeni,
Ketta pinpu jnani
5.Mother for the sake
of cradle ,
Virgin made for the
sake of cot,
Food for the sake
of starvation.
After you are spoiled you become wise
6. Chendravanai
keettal,
Vandhu vidu yenban,
Vandhavanai kettal,
Chendru vidu yenban
6.If you ask the one who went ,
He would tell you, please do come,
If you ask the one who came ,
He will tell go away
from here.
7.Vittu vidum aavi,
Pattu vidum meni ,
Chuttu vidum neruppu
,
Sooniyathil nilaippu
7.The soul would go away ,
The body would get
spoiled ,
The fire
would heat ,
And we exist in
emptiness.
