மழைய பொழிவாளே தீரா அளவா
Mother, oh mother, like a beloved moon,
Beautifully, she showers pure love upon me.
Mother, oh mother, my cloud of affection,
She pours down endlessly like torrential rain.
வீழும் போதெல்லாம்
தாங்கும் விழுதானேன்

Whenever I stumble and fall,
She becomes a supportive root holding me up.
I will ask for you as a divine boon,
As the very primary source of my life.

Whenever I sob in pain,
She becomes a gentle soothing breeze.
You will come to console me,
Like a blossoming starlight flower.

Resting against your chest.

The ultimate taste of true love,
Is the rice fed by her delicate fingers.
Knowingly and playfully, she bites,
Faking a bite on my cheeks.
தேய்பிறை காணாத
முழுமதி முகம் மின்னும்
என் மனம் தினம் ஏங்கும்
உன் மடி சுகம் ஏகம்
Never facing a waning phase,
Her full-moon face gleams brightly.
My heart yearns every single day,
For the peerless comfort of your lap.
எந்தன் முதல் முத்தம் நீயே அம்மா
உன் நிழலில் வளரும் மீன் அம்மா
கருவில் உனதானேன் நான் அம்மா
என் முகம் காணும் உன்னில் செல்லம்மா
You are my very first kiss, mother,
I am a fish thriving in your shade, mother.
I became yours right inside the womb, mother,
My precious one, who sees my reflection in yourself.
நிலமென்று உன்னையே
அணைத்துக் கொள்வேன் உன்னையே
ஆரி ராரி ராரோ
Considering you as my stable ground,
I will hold you close in my embrace.
Lullaby... Aariraariraaroo.
