intelligent people don’t always become successful,
All the people who succeed are not necessarily intelligent

(2) Panamirukkum manidharidam manamiruppadhillai,
manamirukkum manidharidam panamiruppadhillai,
Panam padaitha veetinela vandhadhellam sondham,
Panamilladha manidharukku  sondham ellam thunbam,

A person who possesses money (Rich) , doesn’t usually have the heart (to give)
and a person who has the heart , doesn’t usually have the money
In  a rich man’s home , every one who comes is a  relative,
for the poor, all relatives are nothing but sorrow.

(3) paruvam vandha anivarume kadhal kolvathillai,
kadhal konda anaivarume manamudippadhillai,
manamuditha anaivarume serndhuvalvadhillai,
serndhuvalum anaivarume , serndhu povadhillai,

not  every one who matures , falls in love,
not every couple who fall in love ,  get married,
not every couple who marry, live together,
not every couple who live together , go (die) together.

(4)Kanavu kaanum manidhanuku,
ninaipadhellam kanavu,
Avan kaanuginra kanavinile,
Varuvadhellam uravu,
Avan kanavil aval varuval,
Avanai paarthu sirippal,
Aval kanavil yaar varuvar,
Yaarai paarthu azhaippar.

for a day dreamer,
everything he thinks is a dream,
in his dream all that
comes are relationships,
in his dream, she will come,
and smile at him,
in her dream ,who come’s?
and call’s whom? ( is unknown)
