The world is not ashamed ,

No one is ashamed,

Why should she   feel ashamed?

That is the painting ,

If you tell it , that is epic,

If we say painting, there is no one who knows it,

In the land of blind, if we have eyes , it is troublesome.

Andavan padaippinile,

Athi pazhathai kuthram koora  ,

In the creation of God,

No one  has any shame,

To find fault with the fig fruit.

Muthugai parungal,

Muthuginil irukkum ayiram azhukku,

And see the back  ,

On the back there would be one thousand dirts,

Wash all of them.

Kuthram koorugayil,

And when you are finding fault with him,

Other three of your fingers,

Would be showing your chest.

If that one who is there , is a holy one,

Please show him to me.

Avanukku vetkamillai,

Athanai perayum padaithane  ,

He would not feel ashamed,

And the Shiva who created  every one,

Also    would not feel ashamed.

Is existing , no one has any shame,

And to the Yama who finishes  ,

The stories of every one , would also not have shame
