Kodi nilavugal varum azhage

O beauty shining like a million moons,
O meaning behind a million poems,
A million blessings have all become this one child,
Every little smile of yours tells me to live.
My darling, my precious gem, my very eyelid,
The one who blossomed inside my hands,
Living deep within my heart,
My very life born of my soul,
You are everything to me,
My darling daughter.
My darling, my precious gem, my very eyelid,
The one who blossomed inside my hands,
My feet will never walk away from you,
These shoulders were made to celebrate you,
With your tiny eyes, story after story,
You must speak to me,
We will create stories for the whole world,
Just you and I,
Even without you asking, I have my life to give you.
My darling, my precious gem, my very eyelid,
The one who blossomed inside my hands,
Living deep within my heart,
My very life born of my soul,
You are everything to me,
My darling daughter.
My darling, my precious gem, my very eyelid,
The one who blossomed inside my hands,
You are everything to me,
My darling daughter.
My darling, my precious gem, my very eyelid,
The one who blossomed inside my hands,
Living deep within my heart,
My very life born of my soul.
