ஆாிரோ ஆராாிரோ
இது தந்தையின் தாலாட்டு
பூமியே புதிதானதே இவள்
மழலையின் மொழி கேட்டு
ஓ தாயாக தந்தை மாறும்
புதுக் காவியம் ஓ இவன்
வரைந்த கிறுக்கலில்
இவளோ உயிரோவியம்
Lullaby, lullaby, this is...
A father's lullaby.
The earth itself has become brand new,
Upon listening to her baby talk.
இரு உயிா் ஒன்று
சோ்ந்து இங்கு ஓா் உயிா்
ஆகுதே கருவறை இல்லை
என்ற போதும் சுமந்திடத்
தோணுதே விழியோரம்
ஈரம் வந்து குடை கேட்குதே
Oh, a father turning into a mother,
Is a brand new epic poem.
Oh, in the scribbles drawn by him,
She is a living portrait.
ஆாிரோ ஆராாிரோ
இது தந்தையின் தாலாட்டு
பூமியே புதிதானதே இவள்
மழலையின் மொழி கேட்டு
Two lives join together,
To become one life here.
Even though there is no womb,
He feels like bearing her.
.......................................
Moisture arrives at the corner of the eyes,
Asking for an umbrella.
முன்னும் ஒரு சொந்தம்
வந்து மழை ஆனதே மழை நின்று
போனால் என்ன மரம் தூறுதே
வயதால் வளா்ந்தும் இவன் பிள்ளையே
பிள்ளைப் போல் இருந்தும் இவள் அன்னையே
Lullaby, lullaby, this is...
A father's lullaby.
The earth itself has become brand new,
Upon listening to her baby talk.
இது போல் ஆனந்தம்
வேறில்லையே இரு மனம்
ஒன்று சோ்ந்து இங்கே
மௌனத்தில் பேசுதே ஒரு
நொடி போதும் போதும் என்று
ஓா் குரல் கேட்குதே விழியோரம்
ஈரம் வந்து குடை கேட்குதே
...........................
ஆாிரோ ஆராாிரோ
இது தந்தையின் தாலாட்டு
பூமியே புதிதானதே இவள்
மழலையின் மொழி கேட்டு
Once a relationship,
Came like a shower of rain.
Even when the rain has stopped,
Look how the tree still drips!
கண்ணாடிக்கு பிம்பம்
அதை இவள் காட்டினாள்
கேட்காத ஓா் பாடல் அதில்
இசை மீட்டினாள் அடடா
தெய்வம் இங்கே வரம் ஆனதே
அழகாய் வீட்டில் விளையாடுதே
அன்பின் விதை இங்கே மரம் ஆனதே
Though grown in age,
He remains a child;
Though being a child,
கடவுளை பாா்த்ததில்லை
இவளது கண்கள் காட்டுதே
பாசத்தின் முன்பு இன்று உலகின்
அறிவுகள் தோற்குதே விழியோரம்
ஈரம் வந்து குடை கேட்குதே
She is a mother to him.
There is no joy,
Greater than this; two hearts join,
ஆாிரோ ஆராாிரோ
இது தந்தையின் தாலாட்டு
பூமியே புதிதானதே இவள்
மழலையின் மொழி கேட்டு
And speak in silence here.
Just one moment is enough,
A voice hears saying 'enough'.
Heard; at the corner of the eyes,

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
Aariro Aarariro from Deiva Thirumagal is a soulful lullaby composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, written by Na. Muthukumar, and sung by Haricharan. The song portrays the delicate, unconditional bond between Krishna, a father with an intellectual disability, and his young daughter Nithya. It captures the unique role reversal where an adult father possesses the innocence of a child, while his young daughter displays the nurturing qualities of a mother. Through vivid imagery—such as rain dripping from trees long after a storm or a father carrying a child emotionally without a womb—the lyricist highlights how true love and emotional depth triumph over societal norms and worldly intellect. The song stands as a heartwarming testament to pure fatherly devotion.
