Pupdhupettai - "Oru Naalil Vaalkai"

(1)oru naalil vaalkai inge engum odi poogathu,
marunaalum vanthuvitaal thunbam theeiyum thodaraadhu,
enthanai koodi kaneer man meethu vilunthirukkum,
athanai kandapinum boomi ingu poo pookum

Just with one passing day , your current life doesn’t  run away,
when the next day arrives, the fire of sufferings will not continue,
how many crores of tears has the earth(ground) borne(seen),
after seeing all the sorrow too, flowers keep on blooming.
(just because of one bad day , your life doesn’t go run away; with another passing day all your sufferings will subside.. although the earth see’s so many tears(sorrow), but then that doesn’t mean the flowers don’t bloom on it ( happiness))


(2)karuvaasal vittu vantha naal thottu,
oru vaasal thediyea vilaiyaatu,
kan thiranthu paarthal pala koothu,
kan moodi kondal ….

from the day a person leaves the black entrance(womb),
the game has always been to find another entrance,
when you open your your eyes and see, there is too much drama,
when you close your eyes….

(3) porkalathil piranthuvittom, vanthavai poonavai varathumillai,
kaatinile vaallkindrom,  mutkalin vali onrum maranamillai,
irutinile nee nadakaiyile un nilalum unnai vittu vilagividum,
nee mattumthaan intha ulagithile , unnaku thunai endru vilangividum,
theeyodu poogum varaiyil theerathu intha thanimai

We are born in a battlefield, so no regret for  what came and what went,
we are living in a forest, so the pain due to thorns are not considered death,
when you are walking in the dark, even your shadow will leave you,
it is then that you will realize that you are the only companion to yourself in this world,
and till you die ( go into fire) this loneliness will always be with you.

(4)karai varum neram paarthu kapalil kaathiruppom
erimalai vanthaal kooda eri nindru por thotuppom

Lets wait in the ship(our body)  till the time we reach the shore ( final destination),
In between even if we have to face the volcano , lets get on top of it and wage a war.

(5)antha thaiva ragasium purigirathe,
ingu ethuvum nilai illai kalaigiruthe
manam vetta veliyile allaikirathe
antha kadavulai kandaal.

I  understand the god’s  secret,
I understand that there is nothing permanent here,
heart is roaming in this vast vacuum,
when I see that god….

(6)athu ennaku ithu unnaku, idhyangal poodum thani kanaku
aval ennaku eval unnaku, udalkalum poodum puthir kanaku
unnakum illai ithu ennakum illai, padaithavane ingu yeduthukollvan
Nallavan yaar,ada ketavan yaar kadaisiyil avanea mudivu saivaan

” that is for me , this is for you” , the heart keeps on making such calculations,
“she(that) is for me, she(this) is for you”,bodies keep on making and playing such riddles(puzzles)
it is not for you, nor for me ; the creator will finally take it all,
who is the good guy, who is the bad guy , only god will decide in the end.

(7)pali poodum ulagam inge
baliaana ooyirkal enge

this is a world that blames ,
where are the sacrificed lives?

(8)ulagathin ooram nindru athanaiyum paarthirupoom
Nadapavai naadagam endru naamum serunthu nadithiripoom

Lets sit at an edge of this world, and observe everything,
believe that everything that is happening is a drama, and let us also join and act in it.

(9)pala mogangal vendum  seri maatikolvom
pala thirupam theriyum athil thirumbikolvom
kathai mudiyum pookil athai mudithikolvom
maru peravi vendumaa ….

We will need many faces, lets wear them correctly,
We will see many twists , lets turn to them,
as and when the story seems to end , lets end it,
do you want rebirth?
