Terrific song, terrific lyrics and terrific translation. Though the translation might be treated as a glossary at first, it stands out as a beautiful poem by itself! But one concern though. In the last para, is it நான் பாத்த நொடியே or நீ பாத்த நொடியே? I thought I heard the latter. Hope there is no confusion. Great job once again!

Thank u so much mam for the lyrics and tranlation,with your permission may i post it in our blog www.tamil-paadal-varigal.blogspot.in for promotion of the song :) thanks in advance :)
Excellent job, @Nandini. It is not an easy task to translate a song that is so rustic and uses the cant of the fishermen community of coastal Tamil Nadu, with Gospel references :)
Madhan's choice of ஈசா and தோமா are not only a play around words with Christian connotations, but, also apt for the characters they represent in the movie.
