ஆடி அடங்கும் வாழ்க்கையடா வைத்தழிவிய பாடல் ஆங்கிலத்தில்

Life begins with crib or manger
And ends with a cot or a stretcher;
Our birth itself is our prologue,
Our death itself is our epilogue;
The pages of our book of life
Are replete with strain and strife;
Rise and fall is part of life indeed;
Six feet land is all that we need.

Service is the purpose of birth;
Sleep itself is our daily death;
We plan a life of our choice,
in which we have no real voice.
No one ever lives as per plan,
But ends up doing what one can.
Rise and fall is part of life indeed;
Six feet land is only what we need.

We start doing things with great relish,
Having started, we are not able to finish;
We swallow more than what we can chew,
In the process, lose all that is rightly our due;
Everyone thinks he is immortal and flies,
Until the death of kith and kin opens his eyes;
Rise and fall is part of life indeed;
Six feet land is only what we need.

For every desire of ours to succeed,
We need His supreme grace indeed;
Allow not your head to swell
With pride; that is the way to hell:
Allow not your desires to grow too much,
Which will ultimately land you in lurch.
Rise and fall is part of life indeed:
Six feet land is only what we need.
