1, kalaimagal kai pporule   unnai gavanikka aal illayo?

Vilayilla maligayil   unnai meetavum  viralillayo?

1.Oh thing in the hand of Goddess of learning,

Are there   no body to take   care of you?

In the invaluable  house are there no fingers to strum you ?

2,Unnidam aayiram ragangale  -yendrum,

Unakkul aayiramn   geethangale ,

Isai arinthor meetungale-illai,

Yenakkenum vazhi kattungale

2,There are thousand tunes with you  ,

And always within you are  thousand songs ,

Those who know music , please serum ,

If not  at least show  me the way?

3,Naan Yaar unnai meeta –varum,

Nanmaikkum theemaikkum vazhi kaatta,

Yeno  thudikkindren-athan inam theriyamal  thavikkindren,

Vilayilla maligayil  unnai meetavum viral illayo?

3.Who am I to strum you and show the way,

For the good and bad that  is coming.

4.Sorgamum naragamum nam vasame –naan,

Cholvathai  un manam ketkattume  -ithu ,

Thanimayin kuralai olikkattume.

5.Both heaven and hell are in our hands,

Let my mind hear   what I say,

Let the voice of loneliness   reverberate .
