Kalviya, Chelvama , Veerama

Kalviya, Chelvama , Veerama
By
Kannadasan
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
1. Kalviya, Chelvama , Veerama,
Annaya, thanthaya,  Deivamaa?
Ondrillamal  matrondru Uruvaguma-ithil,
Uyarvendrum   thaazhvendrum  pirivagumaa
1,Is it education, or wealth or valour.
Is it  mother , father   or God,
Ifone of them is not there , would the other become related
In this is there  a difference between growing high  or low.
2.Kathorkku porul indri pasi theerumaa-porul,
Pethorkku   arivindri pugazh cheruma,
Kathralum, pethralum  balamagunaa-veerm,
Kanatha  vazhvendrum  vazhvagvuma
2.To the learned ones woul;d hunger be quenched  without food,
To those wealthy people would they get fame without learning,
Would  learning or becoming rich   lead to strength
Would life without valour   become a real life.
3.Padithavan karuthellam ,
Sabai yerumaa –porul,
Padaithavan  karuthaal Sabai  meerumaa,
Padithavan  padaithavan  yaarayinum  balam,
Padaithirunthaal  avanukkinayagumaa
3, Would all the thoughts of learned people be talked in the stage,
Would the thoughts of rich man  be gone against by people ,
Even if the learned one  is the creator, If some other one has strength,
Woulfd they  be equal to him.
4,Ondrukkul ondraaga karuvaanathu -athum
Ondrinil ondraaga   porul aanathu,
Ondrayondru pagaithal  uyarvethu,
Moondrum oridathil  irunthaal   nigarethu
The foetus is one within another thing ,
It became united with one and became a thing ,
IF one fights with another, where is progress,
If all the three   are in one place, where is the comparison?
5.moondru thalaimuraikkum  nidhi vendumaa-Kalam,
Muthrum pugazh valarkkum m natthi vendumaa-ivai,
Moondrum thunaiyirukkum  nalam vendumaa
5.Do you need wealth for three  generations .
Do you need the brain  that would give fame for all times,
Or do you need the welfare  when all the three  are there.
Film Saraswthi sabadham (1966)
