MARUDHAKASI[Rambayin Kadhal] Samarasam ulavum idame….

Wow! what a song ! what a thathuvam! the song depicts the unnecessary barriers and groupings we humans make. The lyrics convey that once you die , we are all the same , doesnt matter how/what you lived! ( ultimate truth) , so why make all the fuss when we are alive? something for every one of us to ponder about!

Movie: Rambayin Kadhal

Samarasam ulavum idame,
nam vaalvil kaanaa,

the place where “equality” is prevalent,
which none of us get to see during our life times,

Samarasam ulavum idame,
nam vaalvil kaanaa,
Samarasam ulavum idame,
Samarasam ulavum idame,
nam vaalvil kaanaa,
Samarasam ulavum idame,
nam vaalvil kaanaa,
Samarasam ulavum idame,

jaathiyil melor endrum,
thaaznthavar theeyor endrum bethamillathu,

caste discrimination , where the high class are considered elite,
the low caste and considered sinners , 
these differences are not there in the grave yard!

ellorum mudivil serndhidum kaadu,
ellorum mudivil serndhidum kaadu,

all of us finally reach this forest(ground)!

thollai indriye thoongidum veedu,
thollai indriye thoongidum veedu,

This is the house, where all of us sleep without any worries! 

ulaginile ithuthaan,
Nam vaazhvil kaanaa,
Samarasam ulavum idame,
Nam vaazhvil kaanaa,
Samarasam ulavum idame,

In this world, this is the place where equality is prevalent (which we dont see during our lifetime) 

aandi yenge, arasanum yenge,
aandi yenge, arasanum yenge,

The beggar finally comes here, the king also finally comes here

aringyan yenge , asadanum yenge,
aringyan yenge , asadanum yenge,

the intellectual finally comes here , the fool also finally comes here

aavi ponapin kooduvaar inge,
agaiyinal idhu dhan,

once your soul leaves ( you die) , people gather here,
hence this is the place where equality reigns! 

Nam vaazhvil kaanaa
Samarasam ulavum idame
Nam vaazhvil kaanaa
Samarasam ulavum idame

sevai seiyum thyaagi , shringaara bhogi,
sevai seiyum thyaagi , shringaara bhogi,

the  person who helps others and sacrifices, the person who enjoys all the pleasures of this life,

eesan porpadhan thannai naadidum yogi,
eesan porpadhan thannai naadidum yogi,

The yogi who reaches for the foot ( blessings) of God, 

yellorum inge ondraay uranguvadhinaale,
yellorum inge ondraay uranguvadhinaale,

all these people sleep here together , and hence its the only place where equality reigns!

unmaiyil idu dhan
Nam vaazhvil kaanaa
Samarasam ulavum idame
Nam vaazhvil kaanaa
Samarasam ulavum idame
Samarasam ulavum idame
Nam vaazhvil kaanaa
