இன்னும் எந்தன் காதில் எதிரொலிக்கும்
அன்பு தாயின் தாலாட்டு
இன்னும் எந்தன் காதில் எதிரொலிக்கும்
அன்பு தாயின் தாலாட்டு
Still echoing in my ears
Is the loving mother's lullaby
Still echoing in my ears
Is the loving mother's lullaby
கண்ணிலே வந்தது நதியோ
அம்மம்மா இது தான் விதியோ தாயே ....
Is it a river flowing in my eyes?
Oh dear mother, is this indeed fate?
Oh mother!
இன்னும் எந்தன் காதில் எதிரொலிக்கும்
அன்பு தாயின் தாலாட்டு
Still echoing in my ears
Is the loving mother's lullaby
பிள்ளை போல் ஒரு தந்தை
இங்கு பேதை ஆனதென்ன
அன்பு காட்டிய நெஞ்சம்
இன்று ஊமை ஆனதென்ன
A father like a innocent child,
Why has he turned so helpless here?
The heart that showered love,
Why has it become silent today?
அவர் நெஞ்சில் ஞாபகம் வேண்டும்
அதற்க்கு இங்கு நீ வர வேண்டும்
மணக்கோலம் கொண்டதும் சொல்லு
ஊர்கோலம் சென்றதும் சொல்லு
தனியே உந்தன் பிள்ளை தவிப்பது பாராயோ ..ஓ
He needs his memory restored to his heart,
For that reason, you must return.
Tell him about taking the wedding attire,
Tell him about going in the procession.
Alone, your child,
Won't you see me suffering?
இன்னும் எந்தன் காதில் எதிரொலிக்கும்
அன்பு தாயின் தாலாட்டு
Still echoing in my ears
Is the loving mother's lullaby
Is it a river flowing in my eyes?
Oh dear mother, is this indeed fate?
Oh mother!
கண்ணிலே வந்தது நதியோ
அம்மம்மா இது தான் விதியோ தாயே ....
Still echoing in my ears
Is the loving mother's lullaby
இன்னும் எந்தன் காதில் எதிரொலிக்கும்
அன்பு தாயின் தாலாட்டு
May the sound of mother's bangles
Become the sacred chime of a temple bell,
May it reach father's ears
And flow like sweet honey.
அன்னை கை வலையோசை
மணி ஓசை ஆகட்டுமே
தந்தை காதினில் வந்து
தேன் போல பாயட்டுமே
Mother is no longer alive,
Father has lost his senses.
The child living in tears,
Has no solace here for me.
Should there not exist
A heart within him?
உயிரோடு அன்னையும் இல்லை
உணர்வோடு தந்தையும் இல்லை
கண்ணீரில் வாழ்ந்திடும் பிள்ளை
எனக்கிங்கு ஆறுதல் இல்லை
இதயம் என்ற ஒன்று இருப்பது கூடாதோ
Still echoing in my ears
Is the loving mother's lullaby
Is it a river flowing in my eyes?
Oh dear mother, is this indeed fate?
Oh mother!
இன்னும் எந்தன் காதில் எதிரொலிக்கும்
அன்பு தாயின் தாலாட்டு
Still echoing in my ears
Is the loving mother's lullaby
கண்ணிலே வந்தது நதியோ
அம்மம்மா இது தான் விதியோ தாயே ....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This emotional lullaby expresses the deep grief and longing of a child who has lost her mother and is now witnessing her father's state of complete psychological helplessness and memory loss. The mother's loving lullaby continues to echo in her ears as a constant memory, contrasting sharply with her current tragic reality.
