G.V. Prakash Kumar – Ayya Ayya Lyrics in English with Meaning

Ayya Ayya Neeye Thaan Ayya
Nee Illaana Poovene Poyya
Potti Vecha Paasam
Pogathaiyya Mosam

Oh father, oh father, you are my only one,
Without you, I would wither away like a fading flower.
The love you tied and kept safe for me,
Let it not fade away—that would be a sorrowful loss.

Ayya Ayya Neeye Thaan Ayya
Nee Illaana Poovene Poyya
Potti Vecha Paasam
Pogathaiyya Mosam

Oh father, oh father, you are my only one,
Without you, I would wither away like a fading flower.
The love you held close and guarded,
Let it not slip away—that would be a cruel pain.

Kaalam Nammala Kaayam Senjathu
Yaara Kutham Solla
Kodi Punniyam Pola Nee Vara
Pesa Onnum Illa

Time has wounded us deeply,
Who is there to blame for it?
You came into my life like a blessing of a million virtues,
And now, there are no words left to say.

Karukkana Vedha Nellu Pookkudhaiyya
Uyir Koottil Mani Satham Kekkudhaiyya
Kutta Vaththi Pona
Thembun Kenda Meena
Vaadi Ninna Sogam Ellaam
Odi Poche Thaana

Even the hardened seed paddy begins to bloom,
In the house of life, I hear the sound of sacred bells.
Like a wounded, struggling fish,
Gasping in a shrinking stream,
All the sorrow that once stood still and dry,
Has now run away and vanished.

Manno Ponno Thevai Illa
Manga Vaiyiram Thevai Illa
Kulam Vaazha Una Pola
Magan Kooda Irundhale Podhum

I need neither land nor gold,
Nor do I seek rare, precious diamonds.
For a family to flourish,
Having a son like you is more than enough.

Sondham Solla Nee Irukka
Sothum Paththum Thevai Illa
Ora Keni Nadu Ooththa
Mogam Pathu Sirichale Podhum

When you are here to call my own,
I need no wealth or possessions.
Like a well filling quietly at its heart,
Just seeing your face and your smile is enough.

Kadaiyanilla Ther Ethaiyya
Kodi Kanji Pona Ver Ethaiyya
Usirukku Veredhum Venaame Raasa

What use is a chariot with no end or purpose?
What else remains when even plenty has turned to nothing?
For this life, I need nothing else, my dear.

Othu Matha Boomi Illa
Unna Thaandi Edhum Illa
Etti Nikkum Podhu
Kannil Ottum Vaanam Pola
Onna Paaka Venum

There is no other world beyond this,
And beyond you, there is nothing for me.
When I stand and look afar,
Like the sky that fills my eyes completely,
All I wish is to see you.
