There appear  to be no words,

I was not dum , when I was born,

And my sensations have  not disappeared.

Chumanthu   chella   yenakkoru  banthamillai

Evarukko iraivan thanthaan

2.Oh my darling   to carry and go  ,

Your body , I do not have any relationship,

God has given to  some one unknown.

Nalu perukku nandri,

THayillatha  anadhaikellam  ,

Thol  koduthu thooki   chellum,

Nalu perukku nandri

To   those four people  ,

Thanks to those people   who lend  ,

Their shoulders and carry   ,

The orphans  who do not have a mother.

Iraivan potiya vilangu,

Azhuvatharkkum   chirippatharkkum  ,

Is the   one put   by the God .,. but,

There    is only one heart.

To cry as well as laugh.

Punnagai cholvathu nandri,

But if we are   sharing sorrow,

 The tears   would say thanks.

Mounathale nandri cholvom,

7.When I am living , to all those who come,

I would say thanks by use of words,

And when there   are  no words ,

I would tell  thanks by silence,

Thanks to those   four people.
