Aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
Sleep now, my dear child
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
Sleep as I sing a lullaby
Aaro Aaraaro
Elder sister, is that just your name?
You do not bear the title, yet aren't you a mother?
Are you rosewater flowing over desert sands?
Did you come into this world just for me?
When I was wild and reckless,
like an open, fragile leaf bowl,
you held me close and raised me without letting me spill.
Though you were born
just a few years before me,
by bond and love, you are truly a mother.
Aaro Aaraaro
Elder sister, is that just your name?
You do not bear the title, yet aren't you a mother?
Are you rosewater flowing over desert sands?
Did you come into this world just for me?
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
Sleep now, my dear child
Aa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
Sleep as I sing a lullaby
When I took my very first steps,
and my tender footing faltered and failed,
you tapped the ground and scolded the floor.
You cherished me like your own eyes,
you spread your lashes like an umbrella to shield me,
and giving up your sleep, you brought me up.
Swaying restlessly like ocean waves,
your comforting shoulders
became swings of pure joy for me.
My grateful heart can never forget,
it always seeks the sweet embrace
of the jasmine fragrance.
Aaro Aaraaro
Elder sister, is that just your name?

Female & Male:
Are you rosewater flowing over desert sands?
Male: Did you come into this world just for me?
Oh... Even when I knowingly made mistakes,
you always stood by my side.
You are both my prayer and my blessing.
Whenever I was about to get a scolding or beating,
you would pull me back and hide me behind you.
You have always been my permanent shield.
If I were caught in a stormy wind,
you would become the yielding reeds,
protecting me from being swept away.
Mother, sweet Kannamma...
Female: Kannamma...
Male: You are my precious mother...
Female: You are...
Male: Who else in this world do I have beside you, mother?
A woman of pure gold...
Female: Ponnamma...
Male: With a heart as gentle as a flower...
Female: Poovamma...
Male: You are a walking goddess on this earth!
Holding me upon your lap,
carrying me without ever tiring,
you raised me just like your own son.
Even after I grew up,
telling everyone I am still just a little child,
you made excuses and kept protecting me.
Kannamma, you are my mother...
Aarari Raaro, mmm...
Golden one, gentle flower...
A lullaby, thaalaalelo...
