Let these lips sing
Let both your eyelids close
Let these lips sing
Let both your eyelids close
When the rising sun blossoms
Let your eyes blossom and open
When the rising sun blossoms
Let your eyes blossom and open
Let these lips sing
Let both your eyelids close
Declaring that a new age is born
Standing right at the battlefront
Declaring that a new age is born
Standing right at the battlefront
In this land that fights to defeat its foes
In this land that fights to defeat its foes
You came into our home to brighten our ancient pride
My darling, let these lips sing
Let both your eyelids close
With his sword, he will duel across the battlefield
With my bangles, I will rest against his chest
With his sword, he will duel across the battlefield
With my bangles, I will rest against his chest
On our shoulders, you will play like a sweet parrot
On our shoulders, you will play like a sweet parrot
With triumphant courage, we will sing our motherland's praise
My darling, let these lips sing
Let both your eyelids close
Like a fierce tiger, he will claim victory
He will tell you all the tales of his triumph
Giving kiss after kiss, he will speak loving words
He will hold me close like a bride wed just today
My darling...
Let these lips sing
Let both your eyelids close
Let these lips sing
Let both your eyelids close
When the rising sun blossoms
Let your eyes blossom and open
Let these lips sing
Let both your eyelids close

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This classic song from Rani Samyuktha (1962) serves as both a soothing lullaby for a child and a tribute to a warrior husband on the battlefield. The singer lulls her precious child to sleep, telling the baby to sleep peacefully until the morning sun rises. She speaks of the child as the lamp that brightens the ancient heritage of their lineage. Intertwined with maternal affection is a sense of patriotic pride and romantic anticipation. The lyrics contrast the father fighting courageously like a fierce tiger on the battlefield with the warmth of the home where he will return victorious to embrace his family. Through Kannadasan's gentle lyrics and K. V. Mahadevan's melodious score, the song beautifully blends heroic valor with tender domestic love.
