Hmmm mm mmm hmmm
Aariro aariro aarariro
Aarariro aarariro
Aararo aariraro
Appanoda thaalattu
Nee thoonga paadalada
Nee muzhikka paadurenda
Vambuthumbu vachukkadha
Kolaiyaavum vaazhnthudatha
Koottu sernthu kettudatha
Kaiya katti ninnudatha
Appan solla meeridatha
Aararo aariraro
Appanoda thalattu
Naal ezhuthu kathukada
Naalu dhisai poyi vaada
Naanayaththai kathukittu
Naalu kaasu sethukkada
Ooru enna sollumunnu
Eppodhum nee vazhndhidatha
Oorukkenna seiyanunnu
Yosikka nee maranthidatha
Paasatha adhigam vecha
Paithiyama aagiduva
Paasamae illaiyinnaa
Paradesi aagiduva
Alava irunthukada
Azhaga vazhnthukada
Kavalaiyai vendridada
Kastapada kathukkada
Appan sonna oththukada
Aararo aariraro
Appanoda thalattu
Ammavoda paasatha
Purinjikka sila maasam

This is a father's lullaby...
I am not singing for you to sleep, my boy,
I am singing for you to wake up.
Don't go looking for trouble,
And never live as a coward.
Don't fall into bad company and ruin yourself,
And never stand by with your hands tied.
Never disobey your father's words.
Aaraaro aariraaro
This is a father's lullaby...
Learn to read and write, my boy,
Travel across all four corners of the world.
Learn the value of honesty and integrity,
And earn and save a little money.
Worrying about what the world might say,
Never live your life like that.
What you can do for the world,
Never forget to think about that.
If you give too much love,
It will drive you crazy.
If you have no love at all,
You will become a lonely wanderer.
Keep everything in balance, my boy,
And live a good, upright life.
Overcome your worries,
Learn how to work hard and endure.
When your father tells you something, accept it.
Aaraaro aariraaro
This is a father's lullaby...
A mother's love,
Takes a few months to understand.
A brother's bond,
Takes a few years to realize.
The love of relatives,
Takes a few hardships to understand.
A friend's loyalty,
Takes a few losses to realize.
Each person's true affection,
You will understand in time.
A father's love,
You will only know once you become a father.
Offering his sweat like mother's milk,
That is a father, my boy.
Showing his love through his anger,
That is a father, my boy.
All that I have told you now,
Know that these are not just words—
Understand that this is your father's life.
Aaraaro aariraaro
This is a father's lullaby...
I am not singing for you to sleep, my boy,
I am singing for you to wake up.
Don't go looking for trouble,
And never live as a coward.
Don't fall into bad company and ruin yourself,
And never stand by with your hands tied.
Never disobey your father's words.
Aaraaro aariraaro
This is a father's lullaby...
Hmm mmm mmmm
Aariro aariro aaraariro
Aaraariro aaraariro...
