ஆண் : அணு விதைத்த
பூமியிலே அறுவடைக்கும்
அணுகதிர் தான் பேராசை
கடல் பொங்கி விட்டால்
தங்குமிடம் இல்லை புது
வீடெதுவும் பால் வெளியில்
இன்றுவரை இல்லை
ஆண் : போர் செல்லும்
வீரன் ஒரு தாய் மகன்
தான் நம்மில் யார்
இறந்தாலும் ஒரு தாய்
அழுவாள் பாரடா
பெண் : ஓஓ ஹோ
ஆண் : கருவறையும்
வீடல்ல கடல் சூழலுதும்
உனதல்ல நிரந்தரமாய்
நமதென்று சொல்லும்
இடம் இல்லை நம் நோய்க்கு
அன்பன்றி வேறு
மருந்தில்லை
ஆண் : போர் செல்லும்
வீரன் ஒரு தாய் மகன்
தான் நம்மில் யார்
இறந்தாலும் ஒரு தாய்
அழுவாள் பாரடா

Male:
“In this land where an atom was sown,
Only the rays of the atom can reap the harvest.
When the ocean of greed begins to overflow,
There is no place left to stay.
Till today, in this vast empty universe,
There is no new home.”
Meaning:
This stanza describes a world harmed by nuclear power and human greed. The “atom” symbolizes destructive technology, and the “ocean of greed” represents the human desire for power that causes war and displacement. The line about the “vast empty universe” shows that Earth is the only home we have, and there is nowhere else to escape. Humanity has damaged its own shelter and remains homeless in a cosmic sense.
Male:
“The warrior who goes to war
Is still a mother’s son.
No matter who among us dies,
A mother will always cry… look.”
Meaning:
This stanza shifts to the emotional cost of war. Regardless of side or nationality, every fallen soldier is someone’s child. War destroys families, especially mothers who bear the deepest grief. The song reminds us that behind every casualty is a mother’s pain, making war a tragedy of universal human suffering.
Male:
“The womb is not a home,
Nor is the swirling sea your place to live.
There is no place we can truly call
Ours, forever and always.
For our suffering,
There is no cure
Except love.”
Meaning:
The womb, though protective, is temporary; the sea, though vast, is dangerous. Likewise, the world no longer feels safe due to conflict and destruction. Humans have no eternal place to call their own. The stanza concludes that only love—not weapons, wealth, or power—can heal the deep wounds caused by war and suffering.
Male:
“The warrior who goes to war
Is still a mother’s son.
No matter who among us dies,
A mother will always cry… look.”
Meaning:
Repeating this stanza drives home the song’s emotional truth. War results not in glory but in loss, and mothers bear the greatest burden. The grief of a mother is universal, reminding us of our shared humanity and the real cost of conflict.
