ஆராரிராரோ
நான் பாடுகின்றேன்
உன் சோகம் மறந்து தூங்கடி
உன் காயம் எல்லாம்
தானாக தீரும்
என் தோளில் சாய்ந்து....தூங்கடி
Aaraariraaro (lullaby chant)
I am singing
Forget your sadness... sleep, my dear
All your wounds
Will heal on their own
Lean on my shoulder... sleep, my dear
கனவாய் எல்லாம்
மறைந்தே போகும்
விடிந்தால் இருள்
விட்டு பறக்கும்
உனக்காய் தினம்
விழித்தேன் அன்பே
உறங்கவில்லையே
Everything like a dream
Will completely vanish
When dawn arrives, the darkness
Will fly away and leave
For your sake every day
I stayed awake, my love
I did not sleep
கண்ணீர் உந்தன்
கன்னத்தை தொட்டால்
என் விரல் வந்து
தொட்டு துடைக்கும்
வெண்ணிலா மேலே கரைகள் எல்லாம்
குறைகள் இல்லையே
If tears
Touch your cheek
My finger will come
Touch and wipe them away
The spots upon the bright moon
Are not flaws at all
ஆராரிராரோ
நான் பாடுகின்றேன்
உன் சோகம் மறந்து தூங்கடி
Aaraariraaro (lullaby chant)
I am singing
Forget your sadness... sleep, my dear
உயிரே உந்தன்
உணர்வில் ஒரு
சலனம் இன்றி
என்ன நினைப்பு
வழிகள் எல்லாம் தொலையும் வரை
காவலிருப்பேன்
Oh my life, in your
Sensation, without a single
Disturbance or agitation
What are these thoughts?
Until all the pain vanishes
I will stand guard over you
முள் மேல் உந்தன்
நிழல் விழுந்தால்
குறைந்தா விடும்
உன் மதிப்பு
உன்னை பார்கின்ற நொடி போதுமே
உயிர் பிழைப்பேன்
Just because your shadow
Fell upon a thorn
Will your true worth
Ever diminish?
Just the moment I look at you is enough
I will survive
ஆராரிராரோ
நான் பாடுகின்றேன்
உன் சோகம் மறந்து தூங்கடி
உன் காயம் எல்லாம்
தானாக தீரும்
என் தோளில் சாய்ந்து....தூங்கடி

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Aaraariraaro from the film Aadhiyum Andhamum is a comforting, emotionally resonant lullaby penned by lyricist Na. Muthu Kumar. The song depicts a compassionate protector reassuring a loved one who is burdened by emotional trauma and deep pain. The speaker offers a safe haven and a shoulder to lean on, encouraging the beloved to rest peacefully as time heals all wounds. Using comforting metaphors, the song reassures that darkness inevitably clears with the dawn and that past misfortunes do not define one's inner value. In the second movement, the lyricist addresses feelings of self-doubt and societal stigma using the striking image of a shadow falling on a thorn, reminding the listener that external pain or hardship can never diminish a person's true self-worth. Ultimately, the song expresses selfless love, emotional protection, and deep empathy.
