‘Soi’ has no meaning – it is just a sound in the Chorus that accompanies the Song.
Soi Soi Soi Soi
Kai Alavu Nenjathula
Kadal Alavu Aasa Machan
Alavu Ethum Illa
Adhu Dhaan Kadhal Machan
Naama Joora Manmelae Sera Vitaalum
Nenapae Pothum Machan
Soi Soi Soi Soi
Within the Heart, the size of the fist,
desires are plenty, the size of the Sea.
There are no limits in this,
that which is called Love, My love.
Even if we fail to get together on this Earth happily,
the feeling of being together would let us rest in peace.
Vaanlavu Kittathula
Varapalvu Thuram Machan
Azhavu Theva Illa
Adhu Dhaan Paasam Machan
Naama Vendi Kondalum
Veenda Vittalum Saami Ketkum Machan
Soi Soi Soi Soi
The skies are within our reach,
But the boundaries of our fields are too far away.
Distance does not seem relevant in this,
that which is called affection, My love.
Even if we pray for it,
Or if we don’t, the Gods will hear us anyway, My Love.
Yedalavu Ennathula
Ezhuthalavu Sikkal Machan
Alavu Kole Illa
Adhu Dhaan Ooru Machan
Naama Naalu Peruku Nanma Senjalae
Athuvae Pothum Machan
In a small note of thoughts,
problems are plenty like a Letter.
There is no scale for measurement in this,
that which is called patriotism to your homeland, My Love.
If we can help four people in need,
That would suffice, My Love.
Naadlavu Kastathula
Nagathalavu Isatam Machan
Azhavu Thode Illa
Athu Dhaan Nesam Machan
Naam Maandu Ponalum
Thukki Thee Veika
Uravu Venum Machan
Soi Soi Soi Soi
In troubles, the size of a Country,
desire is as small as a Nail,
There is no scale for measurement in this,
that which is called compassion, My Love.
Even if we die,
To carry us and cremate us,
We need our kith and Kin, My Love.
Kai Alavu Nenjathula
Kadal Alavu Aasa Machan
Alavu Ethum Illa
Adhu Dhaan Kadhal Machan
Within the Heart, the size of the fist,
desires are plenty, the size of the Sea.
There are no limits in this,
that which is called Love, My love.
Naama Kaanum Ellame
Kayil Serthalae Kavala Edhu Machan
If all that we see and desire,
reaches our hands, What is the need to worry, My Love.
