Translated   by

P.R.Ramachander

1.Annan yennada, THambi yennada,

Avasaramana ulagathil,

Asai kolvathil artham yennada ,

Kasillathavan  kudumbathile

1.What of elder brother  and what of younger one ,

In this  fast moving world , what is the point  in developing desire,

Specially in the family  of those  without wealth

2.Thayum pillayum anapothilum  ,

Vayum vayirum verada  ,

Chanthai kootathil vantha mandayil  ,

Sondham yenpathum yethada,

2.Even if one were  mother and her child,

Their mouth as well as belly are different ,

In the flock that came away from the village market ,

Where does relationship exist .

3.Pettai kozhikku   kattu chevalai  ,

Katti vaithavan yaarada,

Avai yettu   kunjugal petheduthum ,

Choru pottavan yarada

3.Who is the one who   conducted ,

The marriage  of the hen  and the cock,

Even after  they give birth to eight chicks ,

Who is the one who feeds them.

4.Valarntha kunjugal  pirintha podhilum,

Varundhavillaye  THayada ,

Manitha jathiyil   thuyaram yaavume  ,

Manithanaal vantha noyada

4.Even after the grown  up chicks pared from them,

The mother   never   became sad,

And all the sorrow  in the caste  of humans,

Are   the disease caused  by the human beings.

5,Vaazhum naalile kootam kootamai  ,

Vandhu chergiraar paarada-kai,

Varanda veetile  udaintha panayai,

Mathithu  vandhavar  Yaarada?

5, When one lives with plenty observe  ,

That they are  coming in crowds   and joining them,

But in the house   which is dried of wealth ,

In the brokjen pot , there is none who recognizes and comes

6.Panathin meethu thaan  Bhakthi yendra pin,

Bandha pasame   yennada,

Padhaikkum nenjinai  ,

Anaikkum yaavarum ,

Annan thambikal thanada

6,After knowing that   our devotion is only on wealth ,

Where  is relationship and where  is affection ,

And all those   who hug the mind that  shivers(suffers) ,

Are   really elder  and younger brothers  only
