இந்தப் பச்சைக்கிளிக்கொரு
செவ்வந்திப் பூவில்
தொட்டிலைக் கட்டி வைத்தேன்
அதில் பட்டுத் துகிலுடன்
அன்னைச் சிறகினை
மெல்லென இட்டு வைத்தேன்
For this green parrot
Made of chrysanthemum flowers
I tied a cradle
In it, along with silk cloth
A mother's wing
I gently placed inside
இந்தப் பச்சைக்கிளிக்கொரு
செவ்வந்திப் பூவில்
தொட்டிலைக் கட்டி வைத்தேன்
அதில் பட்டுத் துகிலுடன்
அன்னைச் சிறகினை
மெல்லென இட்டு வைத்தேன்
நான் ஆராரோ என்று தாலாட்ட
இன்னும் யாராரோ வந்து பாராட்ட.......
நான் ஆராரோ என்று தாலாட்ட
இன்னும் யாராரோ வந்து பாராட்ட.......
For this green parrot
Made of chrysanthemum flowers

Many more people will come to praise you
நின்று நிமிர்ந்து
என் பிள்ளை நடக்கையில்
ராஜநடை தோற்கும்
நின்று நிமிர்ந்து
என் பிள்ளை நடக்கையில்
ராஜநடை தோற்கும்
எழில் நீந்தும் உடலினைக்
காணும் பொழுதினில்
சிற்பம் அதைக் கேட்கும்
நான் ஆராரோ என்று தாலாட்ட
இன்னும் ஆராரோ வந்து பாராட்ட........
Standing upright
When my child walks
Even a royal walk will be defeated
Standing upright
When my child walks
Even a royal walk will be defeated
Your body where beauty swims
When seeing it
Sculptures will ask for it

என்னென்ன தேவை
உன் உள்ளம் மகிழ்ந்திட
என்பதைச் சொல்லிவிடு
என்னென்ன தேவை
உன் உள்ளம் மகிழ்ந்திட

என்றும் இல்லை எனும் சொல்லை
நீ சொல்ல நானதைக்
கேட்பதை மாற்றிவிடு

இன்னும் ஆராரோ வந்து பாராட்ட
Whatever is needed
