அம்மா ஹே…. அம்மா ஹே….அம்மா ….
Mother... ah... mother...
இத தானே எதிர் பார்த்தேன்
மனேசாடு அட காத்தேன்
This is what I was looking forward to
Oh, I kept it protected in my heart
தினந்தோறும் காத்தோட
குயிலாக திரிஞ்சேனே
அடஞ்சாச்சு என் கூட்டையே
Every day along with the wind
I wandered around like a cuckoo
I have now reached my nest
திச தேடி அலையோட
படகோட அலஞ்சேனே
கிடச்சாசே என் வாழ்க்கையே
Oh, searching for directions with the waves
I drifted along like a boat
I have found my life now
நீ வாழ நான் பாக்கனும்
வாயாற நான் வாழ்த்தனும்
எனக்காக வேண்டாம
உனக்காக வரம் கேப்பேனே
அம்மா…
I must see you live well
I must bless you wholeheartedly
Not asking for myself
I will ask for boons for you
Mother...
அழுதாலும் விழ வேணும்
என் மேல தான்
தொடச்சாலும் என் சேல தான்
Even if tears fall, they should fall
Only upon me
Even if wiped, it should be with my saree
என் தோளில்
உன் கைகள் பூமால தான்
அடையாளம் உன்னால தான்
Your hands on my shoulders
Are like a flower garland
My identity is only because of you
கையோடு கைகோர்த்து
ஊர்கோலமாய்
சிறு பிள்ளை ஆவோம் வா
Holding hands together
Like a grand procession
Come, let us go like little children
மனம் விட்டு நான் பேச
நீ தேற்றினாய்
இருப்பேனே சந்தோஷமா
When I spoke open-heartedly
You comforted me
I will remain happy forever
ஓஓ… கடிகாரம் பாக்காமா
உன் நேரம் எனக்காகுமா
ஓஓ… நான் செய்த நன்மைகள்
உன் மேல மழையாகுமா
Oh... without watching the clock
Will your time become mine?
Oh... will the good deeds I have done
Rain down upon you as blessings?
என் காலம் பூரா நீ
கூட வேணும் என்
ஆயுள் கூட நீ
வாழ வேணும் நான்
For my entire lifetime
I need you by my side
Even with my lifespan
I want you to live
பார் உயிரெல்லாம் வெவ்வேறு தான்
அன்பெனற ஒரு நூலுதான் கதை
மாலையாய்
Look, all lives in this world are distinct
But love is the single thread
That binds the garland of stories
எனக்குள்ள உன பாத்து
உனக்குள்ள என பாப்பதேன்
அம்மா
Seeing you inside me
And seeing me inside you
Mother
ஓஓ… கடிகாரம் பாக்காமா
உன் நேரம் எனக்காகுமா
ஓஓ… நான் செய்த நன்மைகள்
உன் மேல மழையாகுமா
Oh... without watching the clock
Will your time become mine?
Oh... will the good deeds I have done
Rain down upon you as blessings?
Amma aaa hae..amma..hae..amma
Mother... ah... mother...
