என்னப் பெத்த ராசா
என்னப் பெத்த ராசா
என்னப் பெத்த ராசா
எங்க கொற தீர்க்க வந்த சின்ன ரோசா
மடி மீது குடி வந்த மானே
குடிச்சாலும் திகட்டாத தேனே
கண்ணு பட்ட மாயமும் தென்றல் பட்டு காயமும்
கொஞ்சிச் சிரிக்கும் நந்தவனமே
My beloved prince who gave birth to my new life,
My beloved prince who gave birth to my new life,
My beloved prince who gave birth to my new life,
Little rose who came to resolve all our grievances!
Oh sweet honey that came to reside on my lap,
Oh honey that never satiates no matter how much one drinks,
The illusion of the evil eye and the wound touched by the breeze,
Oh flower garden that giggles and smiles with affection!
என்னப் பெத்த ராசா

எங்க கொற தீர்க்க வந்த சின்ன ரோசா
My beloved prince who gave birth to my new life,
My beloved prince who gave birth to my new life,
Little rose who came to resolve all our grievances!
தாயார் தவம் இருக்க தந்தை ஒரு நோன்பிருக்க
வரமா கெடச்ச என் செல்வமே அட என் தங்கமே
எத்தனையோ வயிற் இருக்க ஏழை வயிற்தான் எடுத்து
அம்மனா கொடுத்த என் செல்வமே
While the mother performed penance and the father observed a fast,
My treasure obtained as a divine boon, oh my precious gold!
Out of so many bellies, choosing a poor person's womb,
My treasure granted to me by the Goddess herself!
உன்னோட ரெண்டு கண்ணு உன்னப் பெத்த ஆத்தா
எந்நாளும் அவளை எண்ணு உன்னை அவ காப்பா
கண்டெடுத்த முத்தே முத்தே.....ஏ.....
உனைச் சூடவே இரு மனம் ஏங்குது
மனம் இனிக்கும் கனியே சுவையே....
Your two eyes are like the mother who gave birth to you,
Think of her every day, and she will protect you forever.
Oh precious pearl that was found!
Both our hearts long to adorn you,
Oh sweet fruit that pleases the heart, oh delicious delight!
என்னப் பெத்த ராசா
என்னப் பெத்த ராசா
எங்க கொற தீர்க்க வந்த சின்ன ரோசா
My beloved prince who gave birth to my new life,
My beloved prince who gave birth to my new life,
Little rose who came to resolve all our grievances!
மேல்நாடு அனுப்பி வெச்சு நல்லபடி படிக்க வெப்பேன்
உன்னையே புகழ ஊர் ஏங்கணும் இந்த ஊர் ஏங்கணும்
பல்லாக்கு தேரு செஞ்சு உன்னுடைய பவனி கண்டு
நெஞ்செல்லாம் உருகி நான் வாழ்த்தணும்
I will send you abroad and ensure you get a good education,
The whole town and world should long to praise you!
Making a palanquin and a chariot, witnessing your grand procession,
My heart should melt in joy as I shower my blessings on you!
பரம்பர பரம்பரையா பண்பு கொண்டு வாழு
தலமொற தலமொறையா இந்த மண்ண ஆளு
காத்திருக்கு காலம் அங்கே
அது உனக்காகவே நீ எனக்காகவே
கையில் கிடைத்த மணியே ஒளியே.....
Live with noble virtues for generations to come!
Rule over this land generation after generation!
The time waiting ahead is waiting right there,
It is reserved for you, and you are meant for me!
Oh precious gem found in hand, oh radiant light!
என்னப் பெத்த ராசா

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This heartfelt lullaby from the 1998 movie 'Thalaimurai' celebrates the priceless gift of a newborn child entering a family. Written by renowned poet Arivumathi, the song conveys a parent's deep affection, comparing the baby to honey, gold, pearls, and a blossoming garden sent by divine grace after devout prayers and penance. The emotional narrative transitions from tender coddling to inspiring grand aspirations for the child's future. The parent envisions educating the child, watching them attain high status, and ruling over generations with moral integrity. The term 'Enna peththa rasa' reflects a unique Tamil colloquial term of endearment where a parent affectionately addresses their child as the one who gave them new life.
