Aariraariri aarira raaro
Aari raariraaro…
Aariraariri aarira raaro
Aari raariraaro aari raariraaro…
For those born as women,
peaceful sleep comes only twice.
One sleep at birth,
and another sleep in death.
If you let it go now,
you will never sleep again.
My priceless darling,
go to sleep, go to sleep.
Aariraariri aarira raaro...
Aari raariraaro...
Aariraariri aariri aaro...
Aari raaririro...
This is the time, this is the time,
sleep, my daughter.
If you miss this time,
there is no sleep, my daughter.
There is no sleep, my daughter.
Once you turn four,
it is school and games.
Once you turn four, it is school and games.
All day long, it makes you sing
clear, sweet Tamil songs.
When you turn sixteen,
there is no sleep for you, dear.
When you turn sixteen,
there is no sleep for you, dear.
It makes you struggle
with fourteen languages—an endless trouble!
This is the time, this is the time,
sleep, my daughter.
If you miss this time,
there is no sleep, my daughter.
There is no sleep, my daughter.
A young girl's heart will change,
searching for her lover's face.
When longing sets in,
where is any sleep?
When the moment comes
to join the lover of your choice,
when the moment comes
to join the lover of your choice,
if your father refuses,
where is any sleep? Where is any sleep?
When the husband who wedded you
draws close to touch your saree,
in a woman's honeymoon,
where is any sleep? Where is any sleep?
This is the time, this is the time,
sleep, my daughter.
If you miss this time,
there is no sleep, my daughter.
There is no sleep, my daughter.
During the ten months of carrying a child,
and while giving birth to that child,
even after becoming a mother,
sleep will fade away, sleep will fade away.
When hands tremble and vision fades,
and your final time comes searching,
when hands tremble and vision fades,
and your final time comes searching,
all the sleep you missed in life
will find you on its own, it will find you on its own.
This is the time, this is the time,
sleep, my daughter.
If you miss this time,
there is no sleep, my daughter.
There is no sleep, my daughter.
Aariraariri aarira raaro...
Aari raariraaro...
Aariraariri aarira raaro...
Aari raariraaro aari raariraaro...
