Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pon vidhi ondrum boomiyil illai
Valiyadhai pilaithirukkum
Unnarivondre udan varum dheivam
Veredhu nilaithirukkum
Pagalil vellum kaakaiyenil
Iravil vellum aandhaigal thaan
Pagai mel paaya poruthiru nee
Balame vaazhvu ezhundhidu nee
Balaveenam thaan maranam vizhithiru

Vizhithiru.

Poochiyai unnum thavalai
Thavalaiyai vizhngum paambu
Paambai adikkum parundhu
Idhu dhaan iyarkai niyadhi
Ha ha ha

Thunive edharkum
Thodakkam manidha
Bayandhaal edhuthaan
Nadakkum ezhuda
Thadaiyai thoolaakki erida

Thee endraalum kaatrin thaalam
Netrenbethaan bothu soothai vella
Vizhithiru
Vizhithiru

Nenjai nimirthi nerpada nindru
Vanjathai adi norukku
Naanuthal illai nadunguthal illai
Rowthiram nee pazhagu
Kunindhe kidanthaal manidhan illai
Kozhiku edhuvum kidaipadhillai
Purkalai puligal unbathillai
Puzhudhiyil sooriyan maraivadhillai




Jeyam ondre nee arivaai vizhithiru
Vizhithiru

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Santhosh Narayanan's song Pon Vidhi are a reflection on the consequences of actions and the inevitability of death. The opening lines, "Pon vidhi ondrum boomiyil illai, Valiyadhai pilaithirukkum" roughly translate to "There is no fate of gold in this world; It is the deeds that we have sown that will bear fruit." The song reinforces the idea that the universe operates based on karma, and the consequences of our actions will eventually catch up to us. The line, "Unnarivondre udan varum dheivam, Veredhu nilaithirukkum" suggests that a divine force will come with the knowledge of oneself, which will help in facing the consequences of reality.


The lyrics go on to describe the nature of life and death with the lines, "Balaveenam thaan maranam vizhithiru Vizhithiru," which means "Life dissolves into death, contemplate upon this." The words "Poochiyai unnum thavalai Thavalaiyai vizhngum paambu Paambai adikkum parundhu Idhu dhaan iyarkai niyadhi," which translate to "The spider consumes the fly, the serpent consumes the spider, this is the law of nature," echoes this realization. It then goes on to suggest that facing the fear and overcoming it is the mantra of life. "Thunive edharkum Thodakkam manidha Bayandhaal edhuthaan Nadakkum ezhuda Thadaiyai thoolaakki erida," encourages one to face their fears, take action without fear, and move forward.
