சின்ன அரும்பு மலரும்
சிரிப்பை சிந்தி வளரும்
கண்கள் அந்தக் காட்சி கண்டு
களிக்கும் நாள் வரும்
நான் களிக்கும் நாள் வரும்.......
A small bud will bloom
Scattering smiles as it grows
Seeing that sight, the eyes
Will rejoice on the day that arrives
The day I rejoice will come
சின்ன அரும்பு மலரும்
சிரிப்பை சிந்தி வளரும்
A small bud will bloom
Scattering smiles as it grows
மண்ணில் உலவும் நிலவே
என் வயிற்றில் உதித்த கனியே
மண்ணில் உலவும் நிலவே
என் வயிற்றில் உதித்த கனியே
வாழ்வு உன்னால் செழித்தே
மனம் மகிழும் நாள் வரும்

O moon wandering on the earth!
O sweet fruit born of my lineage!
O moon wandering on the earth!

நீ எங்கு இருந்த போதும்
என் இதயம் உன்னை வாழ்த்தும்
தாய் அன்பு உன்னைக் காக்கும் நீ
அழுவதேனடா உறங்கி அமைதி காணடா
அழுவதேனடா அமைதி காணடா.......

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This beautiful lullaby from the film Pangaligal (1961) captures a parent's deep warmth, tenderness, and hope for their child's bright future. The child is lovingly addressed through soft, tender metaphors like a blossoming flower bud, a moon walking on earth, and a precious fruit. The singer anticipates a future where the child's presence brings flourishing happiness and fulfillment to life. Despite life's uncertainties, the parent reassures the child that maternal love and earnest blessings will always shelter them wherever they go. The soothing lullaby gently urges the crying child to calm down, sleep peacefully, and look forward to joyous days ahead.
