manadhile kulappamaa,
vaalkkaiyil nadukkamaa,

are you bewildered? baffled?
is your heart in a confused state?
is your life in a trembling state ( are you fearful?)?

(2)vaalkkai endraal aayiram irukkum
vaasal thorum vedhanai irukkum

In life, there are one thousand things that may happen ( good or bad),
every doorstep ( signifying that every person) has its share of worries,

(3)vandha thunbam edhu vendralum
vaadi nindraal ooduvadhillai
vaadi nindraal ooduvadhillai

what ever may be the suffering you are going through,
if you wilt(droop) seeing the suffering , the sufferings ( problems) will not go away,

(4)edhayum thaangum idhayam irundaal
irudhi varaikkum amaidhi irukkum

if you have a heart that can bear anything ( strong heart),
till the end you will be in peace

iravum pagalum kaaviyam paadu

through day and night recite(sing) poems ( in praise of god) ,

(6)naalai  poludhai iraivanukkaliththu
nadakkum vaalvil amaidhiyai thedu
nadakkum vaalvil amaidhiyai thedu

Leave the worries of tomorrow to god,
Try to search for peace in your current life ( Dont focus on tomorrows, god will take care of it , focus on what is there today and seek peace in it)

(7)unakkum keele ullavar kodi
ninaiththu paarththu nimmadhi naadu

There are crores below you,
think about their life and seek peace ( that you are in a much better position than them)
