Chinnamma chinnamma
Siththam kalangidum chinnamma ho
Mannil en jeevan pogaamal
Un jeevan pogaathu ponnammaa
Thaalaattu naan paada thangamae
Nee konjam thoongammaa Ho…
Oru thaalaattu nee paada
Dharmangal Thunaiyaagum paarammaa
Chinnamma chinnamma
Siththam kalangidum chinnamma ho
Mannil en jeevan pogaamal
Un jeevan pogaathu ponnammaa
Pullaththaachchi aana pulla
Poovappola chinnapulla
Kanneer enna kannukkulla
Kaaththiruppaen nenjukulla
Tharumaththukku kanneer vanthaa
Dheivaththukku kannae illai
Pennukkoru thunbam vanthaa
Bhoomiyila saamai illa
Paththu pulla peththu tharavenum
Chinnamma ho….
Thaaipaalootta neeyundu
Thlaatta naanundu chellamma
Chinnamma chinnamma
Siththam kalangidum chinnamma ho
Mannil en jeevan pogaamal
Un jeevan pogaathu ponnammaa
Suttram enna sonnaal enna
Josiyangal sonnal enna
Manthirangal Sonnaal enna
Marunththuvangal sonnaal enna
Ullukkul yadho onnu
Unna paththi sollum pennae
Kollu peran peththi kandu
Kungumaththil vaazhvaai kannae
Pillaikku nee peru vaikka
Venum sollamma ho
Nalla poovodum pottodum
Nee vaazhvaai chinnammaa
Chinnamma chinnamma
Siththam kalangidum chinnamma ho
Mannil en jeevan pogaamal
Un jeevan pogaathu ponnammaa
Thaalaattu naan paada thangamae
Nee Konjam thoongammaa ho…
Oru thaalaattu nee paadaa
Dharmangal thunaiyaagum paarammaa
Oru thaalaattu nee paadaa
Dharmangal thunaiyaagum paarammaa
Chinnamma, oh Chinnamma,
Oh Chinnamma with your troubled heart...
Before my own life leaves this earth,
Your life will not leave you, my golden girl.
As I sing you a lullaby, my darling,
Please rest and sleep a little, oh...
So that you may sing a lullaby one day,
Righteousness will stand by you, you will see!
Chinnamma, oh Chinnamma,
Oh Chinnamma with your troubled heart...
Before my own life leaves this earth,
Your life will not leave you, my golden girl.
A girl who is now carrying a child,
A young girl as tender as a flower,
Why are there tears filling your eyes?
I will keep you safe inside my heart.
If tears must fall from the eyes of righteousness,
Then God must have no eyes at all.
If suffering falls upon a woman like you,
Then there is no God on this earth.
You must give birth to ten children,
Chinnamma, oh...
You are there to nurse them with mother's milk,
And I am here to sing them lullabies, my darling.
Chinnamma, oh Chinnamma,
Oh Chinnamma with your troubled heart...
Before my own life leaves this earth,
Your life will not leave you, my golden girl.
What does it matter what relatives say?
What does it matter what horoscopes say?
What does it matter what chants and prayers say?
What does it matter what medicine says?
Deep inside me, something
Speaks the truth about you, my girl.
You will live to see your great-grandchildren,
And lead a long, blessed life, my dear.
You must be the one to name our child,
Tell me you will, oh!
Adorned with fresh flowers and your bindi,
You will live on, Chinnamma.
Chinnamma, oh Chinnamma,
Oh Chinnamma with your troubled heart...
Before my own life leaves this earth,
Your life will not leave you, my golden girl.
As I sing you a lullaby, my darling,
Please rest and sleep a little, oh...
So that you may sing a lullaby one day,
Righteousness will stand by you, you will see!
So that you may sing a lullaby one day,
Righteousness will stand by you, you will see!
