Cradle, cot, ghat and what ?

aadiya aatam enna,

pesiya vaarthai enna,

thediya selvamenna,

thirandathor sutramenna,

kooduvittu aavi ponaal,

koodave varuvadhenna..?

When alive...,
what are all the games you played ,

what are all the words you uttered,

How much wealth you accumulated,

how many people surrounded you,

once your soul leaves your body ,

what is that is going to come with you? 

veedu varai uravu,

veedhi varai manaivi,

kaadu varai pillai,

kadaisi varai yaro,

When dead....,
relatives come till the house ,

 wife comes till the street,
 son comes till the graveyard,

Who is going to come till that end?

aadum varai aatam,

ayirathil naatam,

koodivarum kootam,

kollivarai varuma,

The game lasts till you play,

your desire for many and more,

Will the gathered crowd

come to the funeral pyre?

thottilukku annai,

kattilukku kanni,

pattinikku theeni,

kettapinbu nyaani,

For the cradle, mother

fort the cot, the lady

for the hunger, food

After the complete loss, a sage

sendravanai kettal

vandhuvidu enbaan,

vandhavanai ketaal,

sendruvidu enbaan,

ask a person who has left 

He will ask you to go with him,

ask a person who has come

He will ask you to go back.

vittuvidum aavi,

pattuvidum meni,

suttuvidum nerupu,

sooniyathil nilaipu.

soul will leave, 

your body will perish,

And the fire will burn,

Ultimately focuses on Zero.
