My son, hey my son,
please understand my anger.
My son, oh my son,
forgive me if you couldn't understand.
Though the one who got hit
was you,
the one who still aches
is only me.
What was shut
was just the door,
but what broke
was my heart.
I pass every day
only with thoughts of you.
The heavy burden of work eases
only through your smile, you silly boy.
Aarari raaro,
am I the chariot carrying you?
Reaching for the clouds,
spreading wings wide,
who is going to fly away?
Aarari raaro,
are you the root running deep inside me?
Pushing past me,
reaching for the sky,
are you the life soaring high?
Ni Sa Ri Sa Ni Sa Ri Sa
Ni Sa Ri Sa Ni Dha Pa
Ni Sa Ri Sa Ni Sa Ri Sa
Ni Sa Ri Ga Ri Sa Ni
Ni Sa Ri Sa Ni Sa Ri Sa
Ni Sa Ri Sa Ni Dha Pa
Dha Dha Dha Dha Dha aa
My son, hey my son,
please understand my anger.
My son, oh my son,
forgive me if you couldn't understand.
Aarari raaro,
which world is in your dreams?
In the dreams I see,
in the waking life I live,
you are my superhero.
Aarari raaro,
is your name on every breath I take?
In your eyes,
the lightning sparkle that flashes,
is this struggle just to see that?
Ni Sa Ri Sa Ni Sa Ri Sa
Ni Sa Ri Sa Ni Dha Pa
Ni Sa Ri Sa Ni Sa Ri Sa
Ni Sa Ri Ga Ri Sa Ni
Ni Sa Ri Sa Ni Sa Ri Sa
Ni Sa Ri Sa Ni Dha Pa
Dha Dha Dha Dha Dha aa
My son, hey my son,
please understand my anger.
My son, oh my son,
forgive me if you couldn't understand.
