annaiyum thandhaiyum thaane,
annaiyum thandhaiyum thaane,
paaril anda saraasaram kankanda deivam,
annaiyum thandhaiyum thaane,
paaril anda saraasaram kankanda deivam,
annaiyum thandhaiyum thaane,

In this world, your mother and father 
are your universe, they are the gods which your eyes can see,

thaayinum kovil ingedhu,
thaayinum kovil ingedhu,
inba thandhai sol mikkadhor mandhiramedhu,
thandhai sol mikkadhor mandhiramedhu,
seyin kadan annai thondu,
seyin kadan annai thondu,
punya theerthamum moorthi sthalam idhil undu,
theerthamum moorthi sthalam idhil undu,
annaiyum thandhaiyum thaane 
annaiyum thandhaiyum thaane,
paaril anda saraasaram kankanda deivam,
annaiyum thandhaiyum thaane,

where is a temple that is superior to your mother?
what is a better mantra than your father’s words?
you are indebted to taking care and helping your mother,
this is equivalent to drinking the virtuous holy water / being at the place where gods idol is placed (divine place),

thaayudan thandhaiyin paadham,
endrum thalai vanangaadhavan naal thavaraamal kovilil sendru enna kaanbaan,
nandha gopaalan vendum varam tharuvaano,

to a person who does not bow to the feet of his mother and father,
what is the use of (/ what will he see) going to temple everyday,
will the god (Krishna) give him the boon he prayed for?

ponnudal than porul bhoomi,
ponnudal than porul bhoomi,
pendir puthirarum pugazh iththanai vaazhvum,
puthirarum pugazh iththanai vaazhvum,
annai pidhaa indri yedhu,
annai pidhaa indri yedhu,
maram aayin vidhai indri kaai kani yedhu,
aayin vidhai indri kaai kani yedhu,
annaiyum thandhaiyum thaane paaril,
anda saraasaram kan kanda deivam,
annaiyum thandhaiyum thaane paaril,

having a golden body ( I guess healthy and perfect body), all the materialistic things, owning land,
a chaste wife, children, glory and all the good life associated with the aforesaid,
how did you achieve them without your mother and father,
it is akin to saying that you may be like a mighty huge tree, but without a seed how did you come about?
if not for the seed how would you bear the fruits?
