Ethana Saami Lyrics English Translation – Idli Kadai (Tamil)

Ethana Saami Vandhadhaiya
Idhu Endhendha Sami Thanthaiyaa
How many gods have come and gone?
Who is the father of this god?

Ethana Paatan Sonadhaiya
Adha Suthura Bhoomi Kandathaiyaa
How many stories have our ancestors told?
This sacred land has seen them all.

Adichu Veesum Kathulaiyum
Even the wind that blows carries their voices.

Andha Thagappan Asa Suthuthaiya
The dreams of our forefathers still whisper around us.

Vedichu Pookum Vedhaiyilum
Even in the bursting fire, new life blooms.

Oru Vamsathu Kadhaiye Ullathaiya
Within it lives the story of an entire lineage.

Nooru Thalamura Senthu Sethukuna
A bridge built across a hundred generations stands strong.

Eera Nilamidhu Paaraiya
This wet soil and rocky land are part of who we are.

Vazhum Varaiyilum Niyum
And as long as we live, you live within us.

Vedhaikura Kadaimai Irukudhu Kelaiyaa
There is a sacred duty written in our hearts, can you hear it?

Kodi Velaka Endhi Kedandha
Veedum Irundadhu Yenaiya
The house once glowed with the flag’s light.
But now, it stands empty, my friend.

Maada Velaka Niyum Varathan
Veedum Yengi Nikuthaiya
You, the light of the upper hall, have not returned.
The home waits, yearning for you.

Ethana Saami Vandhadhaiya
Idhu Endhendha Saami Thanthaiya
How many gods have come and gone?
Who is the father of this god?

Ethana Paatan Sonadhaiya
Adha Suthura Bhoomi Kandathaiya
How many stories have our ancestors told?
This sacred land has witnessed them all.

Kalangidathe Nenjukul Niyum
Kalangidathe Nenjukul Niyum
Do not waver within your heart.
Do not let your heart be shaken.

Palikum Ooru Ena Seiyum
Make this land a place that speaks of peace.

Kalangam Serum Nilavil Thane
Irutum Inge Velagirum
Even when confusion touches the moonlit night,
Light will still shine through the darkness.

Odanjidathe Ullukul Niyum
Do not break down within yourself.

Idhuvum Kooda Kadanthirum
This too shall pass.

Malaiyil Aaru Pallathil Kooda
Aruvi Aagi Nadanthirum
Through mountains, streams, and valleys,
You will flow again as a waterfall.

Bhoomi, Kaathu Aagasam Pola Valum Un Pasam
Your love grows vast like the earth, the wind, and the sky.

Padha Maarum Kaadelam Oora Sera Sandhosam
Every changing path leads to a happiness that unites hearts.

Nooru Thalamura Senthu Sethukuna
Eera Nilamidhu Paaraiya
A hundred generations have come together to build this bridge of life.
This moist soil and strong rock hold their memories.

Vazhum Varaiyilum Niyum
Vedhaikura Kadaimai Irukudhu Kelaiya
As long as we live, you live within us.
There is a sacred duty written in our hearts, can you hear it?

Kodi Velaka Endhi Kedandha
Veedum Irundadhu Yenaiya
The home once shone bright under the flag’s light,
But now it stands still, waiting in silence.

Maada Velaka Niyum Varathan
Veedum Yengi Nikuthaiya
You, the light of the upper hall, have not returned.
The home waits, longing for you.

This sacred land has witnessed them all.

The hopes of that forefather still linger in the air.

Vedichu Pookum Vedhaiyilum
Even in bursting fire, new life blooms.
