ஆரிராரோ ஆரிராரோ
தாயின் தாலாட்டில் கண் உறங்கு
என் ஆசை மகனே
தெளிந்த வானம் அது போல
துணிந்த நெஞ்சம் கொண்டு
என்றும் நீ தூங்கு மகனே
Lullaby chants (Aariraaroo aariraaroo)
Sleep softly to your mother's lullaby
My beloved son
Like the clear sky
With a brave and courageous heart
Sleep forever peacefully, my son
வந்தாய் மேகம் வந்து
சில நேரம் மறைக்கும்
சில் என்ற காற்றை தழுவும்
மழை சிந்த வானம் தெளியும்
Storm clouds may arrive
And obscure the view for a while
Embracing the cool breeze
Once the rain pours, the sky will clear up
ஆரிராரோ ஆரிராரோ
தாயின் தாலாட்டில் கண் உறங்கு
என் ஆசை மகனே
Lullaby chants (Aariraaroo aariraaroo)
Sleep softly to your mother's lullaby
My beloved son

……………….
இருதாயின் கண்ணுகுள்ளும்
ஒளியான சூரியனே
Within the eyes of two mothers
You shine like the radiant sun
உன் கண்ணில் ஈரம் கண்டால்
நெஞ்சம் தாங்குமா
If tears are seen in your eyes
Can my heart bear it?
புதிதான தாய்மைகுள்ளே
கருவான சந்திரனே
உன் நெஞ்சின் பாரம் கண்டால்
பூமி தாங்குமா
Inside a new form of motherhood
You are the moon born as an embryo
Seeing the heavy burden in your heart
Can even the earth endure it?
தன பலம் ஹனுமனுக்கே
தெரியாதடா
Even Lord Hanuman did not know
His own immense strength
உன் பலம் உலகம் அறியாதடா
Likewise, the world does not yet know your strength
இரு தாய்க்கு மகனாய்
இங்கு பிறந்தாயடா
இந்த கதை கேட்டால்
நீ இன்னும் அழுவாயடா
As a son born to two mothers
You were born into this world
If you hear this story
You will cry even more
வந்தாய் மேகம் வந்து
சில நேரம் மறைக்கும்
சில் என்ற காற்றை தழுவும்
மழை சிந்த வானம் தெளியும்
Storm clouds may arrive
And obscure the view for a while
Embracing the cool breeze
Once the rain pours, the sky will clear up
ஆரிராரோ ஆரிராரோ
தாயின் தாலாட்டில் கண் உறங்கு
என் ஆசை மகனே
Lullaby chants (Aariraaroo aariraaroo)
Sleep softly to your mother's lullaby
My beloved son
பெண் என்ற ஜீவனுக்கு
பல வண்ண முகமுண்டு
ஒரு முகமாய் பார்க்கும் ஜீவன்
நீ தானடா
For a living soul called woman
There are many colored facets and roles
The soul that sees her true self
Is you alone
மல்லாந்து படுத்திருந்தால்
உன் பூமி தெரியாது
புண்ணான நெஞ்சுக்கு நீ
மருந்தாகுடா
If you lie down looking straight up
Your ground will not be visible
For a wounded heart
Become a healing medicine
அவிழாத முடிச்சு
ஏதும் இல்லை
விலகாத திரை என்று எங்கும் இல்லை
An untieable knot
Does not exist anywhere
There is no curtain that cannot be lifted
கல்லான பாரைகுள்ளும்
ஈரம் உண்டடா
எதோ ஒரு உயிரின் தாகம்
தெற்க்க தானடா
Even inside a hard rock
There is moisture and warmth
To quench the thirst of some soul
It exists to fulfill that purpose
வந்தாய் மேகம் வந்து
சில நேரம் மறைக்கும்
சில் என்ற காற்றை தழுவும்
மழை சிந்த வானம் தெளியும்
Storm clouds may arrive
And obscure the view for a while
Embracing the cool breeze
Once the rain pours, the sky will clear up
ஆரிராரோ ஆரிராரோ
தாயின் தாலாட்டில் கண் உறங்கு
என் ஆசை மகனே
